In recent years usage of fossil-fuel to produce electricity, especially coal, has significantly decreased.
It sounds like coal is an example of electricity. - We need to find better option which puts the coal as an example of fossil fuel with correct usage of Grammar.
A. In recent years usage of fossil-fuel to produce electricity, especially coal, has significantly decreased. - Incorrect as mentioned above
B. In recent years fossil-fuel usage, especially coal, to produce electricity has significantly decreased. - Coal is an example of fossil fuel usage. Incorrect.
C. For producing electricity, usage of fossil-fuel, especially of coal, in recent years have significantly decreased. - To produce electricity is better. And Sentence verb agreement is incorrect. (Usage of fossil fuels...have)
D. To produce electricity, fossil-fuel usage, especially that of coal, has significantly decreased in recent years. - Correct choice - fossil fuel usage is compared with usage of coal.
E. Usage of fossil fuel, especially of coal, to produce electricity has significantly decreased in recent years. - Especially of coal is modifying usage of fossil fuel - which is incorrect. It should be "especially that of coal" or "usage of fossil fuel, especially coal" (here, coal is referring to the fossil fuel - correct comparison).

Usage of fossil fuel requires a singular verb. So use of “has” is required. Also as “coal” is type of “fossil fuel”, “coal” is placed near to the term “fossil fuel” to correctly convey the meaning.
Hence answer choice (E). IMO
