Tidal Electricity (EDM240)

Tidal Electricity

EDM number 240 in 2002-03, proposed by HELEN CLARK on 28/11/2002.

That this House, recognising that meeting the Government's renewable energy target is possible and realistic using a mixture of technologies and private finance, calls attention to the significant role that off shore tidal energy could play in this mix by utilising the enormous and entirely predictable power of the United Kingdom's large tidal ranges; congratulates Tidal Electric on the development of a generator capable of producing commercial scale and cost-competitive amounts of renewable energy; notes that the technology has been used extensively in other countries and that its installations provide environmental benefits, including new habitats for marine wildlife; recognises also that there is widespread community support for its initial projects in Swansea Bay and North Wales; and calls on the Government to support the acquisition of consents and the detailed engineering required in order that private finance will then have the confidence to enter the market.

This motion has been signed by a total of 57 MPs.
