Menter Môn Morlais tidal energy project development
Overview
The Menter Môn Morlais tidal energy project, located off Ynys Môn, is seeking sustained government support as it prepares for its first turbine deployment, currently anticipated in 2027. The project is designed for a phased rollout with a potential maximum capacity of 240 megawatts, a strategy intended to protect local habitats and wildlife.
Welsh Government Cabinet Minister for Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy, Adam Price, visited the scheme to review its progress. The project aims to provide predictable renewable electricity and enhance energy security while fostering economic renewal through the creation of skilled jobs, apprenticeships, and local supply-chain opportunities. John Idris Jones, chair of Menter Môn Morlais, emphasized that continued backing is essential to realize the project’s potential and to establish a presence in the global marine energy sector.
