Atlantis Resources has announced it is in negotiation with the Duchy of Lancaster as preferred developer for the proposed Wyre Valley tidal barrage and flood protection project – to be chiefly situated on the Duchy estate between Fleetwood and Knott End on the Lancashire coast, UK.
Atlantis and the Duchy are looking to reach agreement regarding an option for a long-term lease for the proposed site to permit the development of a tidal power scheme with a proposed installed capacity of 160MW. It is currently predicted that the project will be capable of producing almost 300 GWh of sustainable energy each year, coupled with flood protection capabilities.
It is expected that the process of obtaining all necessary consents to begin development will take approximately three years, but this option agreement would give the necessary rights and access for the majority of the required land.
Atlantis said will now work with its development partners, supply chain and investors to progress the Project.
