Morlais aims to attract tidal energy developers to Anglesey by securing planning consent, providing grid connections and developing the local supply chain.

Having secured the lease of the sea bed from the Crown Estate, Morlais has established a relationship with a number of companies and has sourced funding to support the industry.

Over the next 10 years, it is hoped that up to 100MW of green energy will be produced and high quality jobs created for local people.

The £5.6 million consent and development phase of the project has been supported by £4.2 million from the European Regional Development Fund.
