Description

Tidal Lagoon Power is preparing to start construction of the world’s first tidal lagoon power plant in Swansea Bay in 2015.  The 320MW installed capacity project will establish a blueprint for the rapid roll-out of a fleet of 5 full-scale tidal lagoons that could between them provide 8% of the UK’s electricity.

 

With a design life of 120 years, tidal lagoons introduce a new option for affordable renewable energy at a scale not seen before.  The Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon will kick-start a new European industry and future export market, present a wide range of opportunities for social and environmental regeneration and position low carbon power generation at the heart of the community.
