ICE response to Severn Barrage announcement

18 OCTOBER 2010
Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) director general Tom Foulkes said:

“While we understand the logic behind the Government’s decision to not provide public funding for the Severn energy project in favour of emerging technologies which can provide long-term export and expansion opportunities, we still strongly believe the Severn has potential that the UK cannot afford to let lie. With the potential to make a massive contribution to plugging our growing energy gap and looming environmental targets, it is very encouraging to see that despite Government’s decision there is still interest from the private sector in delivering it without public funding.
