Tidal Lagoon Swansea Bay
United Kingdom
The 1737th largest power station in the world
Tidal Lagoon Swansea Bay was a proposed tidal lagoon power plant that was to be constructed in Swansea Bay off the south coast of Wales, United Kingdom. Development consent was granted by the UK government in June 2015, and in June 2018 the Welsh Government approved the plan and offered to invest £200 million; however, later that month the UK government withdrew its support on value-for-money grounds. Other options to enable the proposal to go ahead were reportedly still being explored. If built, the project would have become the world's first tidal lagoon power plant; other types of tidal power plants exist.
