Hinkley C is costing £92.50 per MWh in 2012 pounds, rising with inflation.
The Severn barage will be more, but it is a “first of type” demonstrator design and it is hoped that costs would be lower for future, larger projects.
- C1sc0cat 8y agoRemind me again how many Severn estuaries we have in the UK.
- Reason077 8y agoSorry, “thinko” there. I meant to refer to the proposed Swansea Bay tidal lagoon, which is promoted as a “pathfinder” project for other, larger lagoons. The Severn barrage is, of course, much larger in scope and there isn’t any near-term proposals to develop it.
