"With our 1,200 kilometres of coastline, deep sea ports and accessible grid infrastructure, Welsh waters are ideally suited to meet the requirements of the marine energy industry.
"If the marine energy resource potential is to be exploited around the Welsh coastline, industry needs to rise to the challenge and capture the business opportunities that marine energy can bring. "
Around 30 per cent of the UK's energy supplies now come via Pembrokeshire.

“What a ridiculous claim that is!
I have done some maths followed by some research and have come to the result that the laguna the way it is shown/advertised to the public is not large or efficient enough. Building such a tidal power plant is one thing but the upkeep another.
Maintenance costs will have to be added to the sums given to us to form a picture of the entire project.
The way it is propsed it's yet another vanity project to be managed/monitored by what I would call a "get rich the quick way" company.”
