Plans for a major tidal energy project between Bardsey Island and the Llyn Peninsula have been pulled with its backer blaming revenue support and National Grid connection issues for the decision.
Scottish tidal stream energy company, Nova Innovation, had planned to install five 100 kW ( 0.5 megatwatt) turbines on the seabed of Bardsey Sound. Its Enlli project will be mothballed from March.
In 2020 Nova Innovation secured £1.2m funding from the Welsh Government to progress environmental consenting and the technical design of the project. It is understood that not all the funding has been drawn down.
