The £1.3bn Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon project consists of an 9km sea wall and an array of 16 dual-directional turbines, designed to harness the energy of the Atlantic’s tidal surges

 

As the tides rise and fall the lagoon fills and empties. Regardless of the direction of the flow, the six-metre tall turbines will generate electricity
