Swansea tidal lagoon project faces job cuts and downsizing

Government funding delay for 1.3bn scheme may force firm to lay off staff within weeks

The 1.3bn Swansea tidal lagoon faces a major blow as the company behind the scheme braces for significant job cuts if UK and Welsh government talks on the project fail to yield a breakthrough.

Tidal Lagoon Power has waited for 15 months since an independent review backed the scheme as a "no regrets" source of clean and reliable energy.
