Experts call on UK Government to act on Severn tidal energy

An independent commission of experts urges the UK Government to 'act now' on tidal energy in the Severn Estuary, as it has huge potential for generating significant low-carbon electricity.
Dr Andrew Garrad CBE, chair of the commission, believes the Severn Estuary's tidal range could provide most of the UK's tidal energy while safeguarding the environment.
Rebecca Evans MS emphasized that the Severn Estuary has immense potential to make Wales a global center for emerging tidal technologies.
Powys County Council received an 11-month extension to complete the £14 million Montgomery Canal project due to delays in construction and land acquisition.
