The Government undertook a detailed review of the strategic value of a tidal barrage in the Severn \u2013 The Severn Tidal Power study \u2013 which reported in 2010. Due to the significant costs, environmental and economic impacts, the study concluded that there was no strategic case for a publicly-funded Severn Tidal barrage.<\/p>
