THE proposed North Wales Tidal Lagoon, stretching from Llandudno to Prestatyn, comes under a new light following plans for the new Wylfa nuclear power station being suspended. The tidal lagoon would would pump 2.5 gigawatts of clean, renewable electricity into the National Grid every year and provide power to over a million homes. It would also provide the necessary protection for vulnerable homes, businesses, road and rail links, creating 20,000 jobs in the process. Henry Dixon, chairman of North Wales Tidal Energy and Coastal Protection Ltd said: “There is no immediate impact from the decision, but it does throw a new light on what we are doing as an alternative or in parallel. “I would hope our proposals are more likely to happen and our proposals are something the Welsh Government and Westminster should look at as an alternative.”
