Please see the attached news release, which refers to the PM's announcement on Monday (19th) on the economic potential of renewables and CCS. As part of this, BERR have announced that they will provide extra support under the Renewables Obligation to tidal lagoons and barrages under 1GW in capacity.
The SDC's report on tidal power recommended that Government look to support the development of one or more tidal lagoon demonstration projects. The challenge now lies with the renewables industry and those involved with tidal lagoons to develop a viable tidal lagoon project that successfully demonstrates the concept at scale.
