BURNHAM MP Tessa Munt has welcomed the announcement that the Government will start closer discussions with Tidal Lagoon Power to establish whether tidal lagoon projects in the West Country are affordable.
As a supporter of harnessing the tide for energy, Ms Munt said: “Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change Ed Davey was persuaded that tidal power is a fantastic resource here in the West where the tidal reach and range in the Bristol Channel is the second highest in the world.”
