A Chinese construction company has been chosen to build the world’s first tidal lagoon project for generating clean electricity in Britain.
The state-owned China Harbour Engineering Company has won the deal to undertake marine works on the £1bn Swansea Bay Tidal Project, which will deliver power to the National Grid, potentially enough for 120,000 homes.
It is the UK’s first infrastructure development to be part delivered by Chinese expertise, according to Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon Power, the developer behind the project.
