The Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel hold the second highest tidal range in the world and provide a significant development opportunity for tidal range electricity generation projects.

ABPmer has supported Tidal Lagoon Power Limited in undertaking feasibility studies and aspects of the EIA for its Swansea Tidal Lagoon project.

Using our multidisciplinary expertise, we assessed the impact to navigation, coastal processes, marine mammals and benthic ecology.

The project was granted a S36 Electricity Act consent.
