Skerries Tidal Array Suspended

Siemens announced today that they were suspending the proposal for a tidal generation array off the Skerries.
So much for 'Energy Island'.
Perhaps it will help get Anglesey back to setting tourism as a major part of its economic planning.

Seageneration Approved

From the web site of Seageneration.

Project Progress

The Anglesey Skerries Tidal Array is now fully consented. The Welsh Government issued the Marine Licence for the offshore elements of the project in 2013. In late 2013 the Isle of Anglesey County Council awarded planning permission for the onshore elements of the project consisting of a small substation at Cemaes, and associated cabling. A variation to the Marine Licence was approved by Natural Resources Wales in early 2014 to change the route of the export cable to come ashore at Cemaes Bay. Installation of the Anglesey Skerries Tidal Array is now planned for summer 2016.

BBC News report of the approval.
