Severn Estuary Commission Report – Get on with Building Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon
19 Mar 2025
Responding to the report published today by the Severn Estuary Commission, Welsh Liberal Democrat Leader Jane Dodds MS said:
“We have a ready-made plan to harness the tidal energy of the Severn already and have done so for years.
“It was a huge mistake by the Conservatives to cancel the Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon and this new Labour Government should rectify that mistake by reviving the project and simply getting on with it.
“Tidal power offers huge advantages to Wales, not only in generating electricity but in its potential to create well-paid jobs. The UK Government seems perfectly happy to spend large amounts on infrastructure in the South East of England, its time they made some investments in Wales.
