The UK’s Business Secretary Greg Clark announced on Monday that the Government will not back the £1.3 billion, 320 megawatt (MW) Swansea Tidal Lagoon project in Wales, a move which has been described as “deeply disappointing” given the “massive potential” tidal lagoons have for providing clean electricity.
The proposed 320 MW, $1.2 billion Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon project is now one step closer to becoming a reality — developer Tidal Lagoon Power Ltd has now submitted the application for the first phase to the proper development authorities. The project, if approved, will be located off the coast … [continued]

GE, among others, is hoping to build a 320 MW tidal generation plant in Wales. How much will it actually generate at what cost and will it actually reduce CO2 emissions?
A new Independent Review of the potential role tidal lagoons could play in the United Kingdom’s future decarbonized energy mix has concluded that they would be a cost-effective and secure supply of decarbonized electricity while bringing substantial benefits for the UK supply chain.
Tidal energy projects in the UK can be developed for nearly half the price of the proposed Swansea Bay project, according to the founder of the popular green electricity supplier Ecotricity. To be more specific, the utility company founder stated that tidal energy projects in the region could be built … [continued]
Tidal Lagoon Power, the company behind the Swansea Bay tidal lagoon project, has announced it is taking the first step towards delivery of a “full-scale tidal lagoon infrastructure” project in the UK that could end up delivering enough electricity to power every home in Wales.
