Swansea Bay Energy Island proposes floating modular homes
Article first published in May, 2019 on the Planning, BIM and Construction Today website.
New plans for a tidal lagoon and floating modular homes as part of a renewable energy development in Swansea Bay are financially viable, according to an independent report.
The tidal lagoon would form part of a new Dragon Energy island off the Swansea coast which could create thousands of jobs. The new proposals include a floating modular homes development, underwater data centre, solar farm and the production of pure hydrogen and pure oxygen on site for storage or sale. Giant underwater turbines would also feature as part of the proposed Dragon Energy Island, helping to power thousands of homes across Swansea and beyond. The potential for a public procurement arrangement has also been proposed, which could see councils and other public sector organisations buying electricity directly from the energy island.
