The CBI recently commented on the announcement that the Government will start closer discussions with Tidal Lagoon Power Ltd to establish whether a potential tidal lagoon project at Swansea Bay is affordable and value for money for consumers.

Emma Watkins, CBI Wales Director:

"We urgently need to upgrade our energy infrastructure and capture greater value from green investments, and it is this kind of project that will help power thousands of Welsh homes in the future.

“The UK must take advantage of new technology to make the move to a low-carbon economy a reality and ensure our energy supplies are secure and affordable for the decades ahead.”
