'Our mission is to drive a critical change in the UK’s energy mix by developing infrastructure to harness natural power from the rise and fall of the tides.' Mark Shorrock, CEO

Twice a day, every day, the Atlantic Ocean surges up on to the UK’s Continental Shelf and around our coastline. This creates one of the highest tidal ranges in the world, an untapped energy source with huge potential.

Tidal Lagoon Power was formed to develop, construct and operate tidal lagoon power plant in the UK and internationally.  To date, the number of potential gigawatt-scale UK tidal lagoon locations identified from an engineering, power generation and commercial viability perspective stands in double figures and could equate to over 25GW of installed capacity.

We are currently developing a national fleet of six tidal lagoons to meet up to 8% of UK electricity demand, or power for around 30% of UK homes, as well as progressing a number of potential projects overseas.

Having secured permission to build the world’s first tidal lagoon power plant in Swansea Bay, Wales –  an iconic pathfinder project that provides a scalable blueprint for a new, global, low carbon power industry – our work is currently the subject of an independent review of tidal lagoons, commissioned by the UK Government.  When it reports in autumn 2016, the Hendry Review can fire the starting pistol for the delivery of tidal lagoon infrastructure in the UK and worldwide.

Together with a world-class consortia of delivery partners, we will be ready.
