When does the Minister expect to see the benefits of the funding supplied to the winners of the Tidal Lagoon Challenge?

Answered by Minister for Climate Change | Answered on 19/03/2024

The Tidal Lagoon Challenge has already successful engaged with stakeholders in Wales and wider UK to raise the profile of the benefits of a Welsh Tidal Lagoon sector and the opportunities this presents to Welsh coastal communities.

All the research work will be completed and data and reports shared by March 2026. A number of interim reports will be produced from March 2025 onwards, and we expect the sector to derive benefit from these.
