Name and Location
Tidal energy lagoon project, off the coast of Wales.
Client
Tidal Lagoon Power.
Project Description
The project will have a nominal installed capacity of 250 MW at a normal operating head and will be located adjacent to the Port of Swansea, at the eastern gateway to the City of Swansea. The main feature will be the lagoon impounded by seawalls. The lagoon will comprise the foreshore, from the eastern side of the River Tawe to the eastern edge of the new Swansea Science and Innovation Campus.

The power plant could be connected to the National Grid and could be ‘power ready’ in 2017.
