Mersey one of 5 detailed tidal range case studies Mersey Tidal Power Project : Phase 1 Study

Team: Buro Happold, SPA, RSK, University of Edinburgh Steering Group: NWDA, Mersey Basin Campaign, Universities of Manchester and Liverpool, Port of Liverpool Review of Mersey Estuary and available technologies Matrix of suitable technologies throughout the Estuary Results presented to Mersey Estuary Forum Study won ACE Research, Studies and Consulting award, 2008 Several ‘viable’ options

Tidal Lagoon in Zone 1, 350MW low impact on shipping Tidal Barrage in Zone 2, 700MW impact on shipping but potential for extension to the Manchester Ship Canal Water Wheels in Zone 3, 200MW minimal impact on shipping

Tidal Barrage in Zone 3, 500MW low impact on shipping

Tidal Gate in Zone 3, 380MW minimal impact on shipping Scheme Objectives

• To deliver maximum affordable energy (and maximum contribution to Carbon reduction targets) from the tidal resource in the Mersey estuary with acceptable impacts on environment, shipping, business and the community either by limiting direct impact in the Mersey estuary or providing acceptable mitigation and/or compensation and in doing so:

• To maximise social and economic benefits from the development and operation of a renewable energy scheme, including where appropriate: – development of internationally significant facilities and skills to support the advancement of renewable energy technologies and their supply chains – improvements to local infrastructure – development of a leisure opportunity and tourist attraction.
