Name and Location
Cardiff Tidal Lagoon project, Wales.
Client
Tidal Lagoon Power.
Project Description
The proposed Cardiff Tidal Lagoon will be the UK’s first full-scale tidal lagoon power plant.
The project will include up to 90 turbines set within a 22 km breakwater, which will enclose about 70 km2 with an average tidal range of 9.21 m.
The western landfall will be about 2 km from the entrance to Cardiff Bay and the eastern landfall will be about 2 km from the mouth of the Usk river.
The project will have an installed capacity, dependent on final design, of between 1 800 MW and 2 800 MW, giving an output of 4 TWh/y to 6 TWh/y, enough to power every home in Wales throughout its 120-year life.
The operation will generate power for about 14 hours a day.
