Tidal Lagoon Cardiff

Tidal Lagoon Cardiff was a proposed renewable energy project that aimed to generate electricity using the movement of tides along the Welsh coast. It would have involved constructing turbines inside a lagoon, which would harness the rise and fall of the tide to produce clean, predictable power. The project intended to supply a significant portion of Wales' renewable energy needs, reduce carbon emissions, and create jobs. While it garnered support for its environmental benefits, it also faced criticism regarding environmental impacts, costs, and economic viability. Ultimately, the project was canceled in 2018 before construction began.
