Name of the Project
Northern Tidal Power Gateways project.

Location
Lancashire and Cumbria, England, UK.

Client
North West Energy Squared.

Project Description
The proposed Northern Tidal Power Gateways will feature power generating turbines and transport links from the M6 in the south to Millom, with the potential to also reach Moorside, if appropriate.

The gateway at Morecambe Bay could produce about 6 5000 GWh/y of electricity, enough to power about 1.5-million homes.

The investigations have also found that the Duddon Estuary gateway could generate about 100 GWh/y, enough to power an estimated 25 000 homes.

In addition to the power generated from these renewables, there is potential to vastly improve transport infrastructure and connectivity in the areas, which could boost economic growth.

Jobs to be Created
The project has the potential to generate more than 7 500 construction jobs.

Value
The project is estimated at £8-billion.

Duration
Not stated.

Latest Developments
It is hoped that by mid-2017, there will be sufficient confidence to progress to the feasibility phase of the project.

Key Contracts and Suppliers
None stated.

On Budget and on Time?
Not stated.
