Solway Energy Gateway
The UK Government has set an energy generating target of 15% from renewable energy sources by 2020. The white paper published July 2009 is pushing forward the development of tidal power.
More about this proposal
The Solway Energy Gateway is a proposal to extract tidal energy from the Solway Firth. The proposal is based around ensuring real benefits to the local communities. Situated between Cumbria in England and Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland the Solway Firth with its high tidal range, an average range of 5.5 metres, is the second most powerful tidal estuary in the U.K after the Severn Estuary. Along with the Severn it is the only estuary to produce a noticeable tidal bore.
