Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, when he expects the Swansea Bay tidal lagoon power plan to be complete and operational.

The commissioning date of the proposed project is a matter for the developer. It would be dependent on a range of factors outside the control of Government, including the securing of all necessary regulatory permissions. It would also be subject to the successful conclusion of any Contract for Difference negotiation and state aid clearance.
