Tidal Turbines

Following on from the report by HR Wallingford, we are in discussions with tidal turbine developers about how we could use their turbines to extract tidal energy in Morecambe Bay. The Norwegian company we are talking to have been across to look at the Bay and saw high tide from Heysham Head and low tide at Rampside. They found this an invaluable experience. These discussions will enable us to have a good idea which turbines could be used and where and what this means for the bridge design.
