Swansea Tidal Lagoon In The Independent

I have a feeling that the Swansea Tidal Lagoon could be a very worthwhile way of generating electricity.

Today, there is this article in the Independent entitled Swansea’s tidal lagoon project delayed amid concerns over costs.

It is a comprehensive review of the technology and contains some interesting nuggets.

• The Swansea scheme has a capacity of 320MWh
• The company is saying up to five other places could have a lagoon power station and together they would develop eight per cent of our electricity.

But to me, its biggest advantage, is once it is built, with maintenance, it will continue to produce zero-carbon energy for a long time.

I shall be watching this project with a lot of interest.
