U.K. Tidal Power Project Could Get Government Loan Guarantees

摘要

A series of planned tidal lagoons along Britain's coastline could be financed with government guarantees similar to those given to the Thames Tideway "super sewer," according to the official leading a review of the renewable-energy project. Charles Hendry, a former U.K. minister, said in London July 13 that he is examining every possible way the 1.3 billion pound ($1.7 billion) Swansea Tidal Lagoon can obtain the funds needed to be built. His six-month review commissioned by the government is due to end in November.
