The Government recognises the potential that tidal energy could play as part of the UK energy mix.<\/p>
<\/p>
We are considering how best we can support the development of tidal stream energy, following my rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State\u2019s autumn speech.<\/p>
<\/p>
On 10 February the Government announced that it will commission an independent review to assess the strategic case for tidal lagoons and whether they could represent good value for consumers. We anticipate that the review will be completed in due course.<\/p>

As announced by the Secretary of State in her speech in November, the current intention is to hold the next CFD allocation round for \u2018less established\u2019 technologies (pot 2) in late 2016.<\/p>
