If it’s built, Mersey Tidal Power would become the largest tidal range scheme in the world. It would power more than 1 million homes for more than 120 years.
The dam-like Mersey Tidal Power would be a barrier between the Irish Sea and a tidal basin. It would be fitted with turbines and tap into one of the UK’s largest tidal ranges to generate power with two-way generation.

The multibillion-pound project is in Phase 3 concept development and is about to enter the formal planning stage. It would create thousands of local construction jobs, but planning and permitting will take a few years first.
