<p>In 2007, the Government published the Atlas of UK marine renewable energy resources
(see attached), which assesses, amongst other things, the tidal range resource around
the UK.</p><p>The Government’s 2010 Severn Tidal Power feasibility study [1] then
assessed the potential for 5 generic Severn Estuary schemes, including potential energy
production.</p><p>Following this, the 2012 Crown Estate’s UK Wave and Tidal Key Resource
Areas [2] assessed the theoretical resource of tidal barrage and tidal lagoons across
the UK at 96 TWh/year (45 GW) and 25 TWh/year (14 GW) respectively.</p><p> </p><p>
