UK: Langstone Harbour Could Host Tidal Power in Future

The authority is thinking about developing tidal energy at the Langstone Harbour,  Hayling Islander cites chairwoman of Langstone Harbour Board, Jackie Branson as saying.

However, Ms. Branson pointed out the obstacles to that possibility at this time, saying that the tide rush in and out of the harbour is not constant, while the space is limited by the boats at the entrance too.

Jackie Branson added: “If there was a way that Langstone Harbour Board could make money from renewable energy we would definitely be looking into it.

“Maybe in the future it could happen, but currently it’s not economical.”
