Mersey Tidal Power Project | Community Consultation 

Deadline: 15 November 2024.

The River Mersey, our greatest natural asset, can play a vital role in tackling the climate emergency and helping our transition to green energy while boosting our future prosperity and the UK’s energy security.

The River Mersey has been at the heart of the fortunes of Liverpool City Region for hundreds of years, from its first ferries and the world’s first commercial wet dock to today’s Port of Liverpool. How we use this great natural asset has always evolved.

Now, in a time of climate crisis, we are turning to our great river once more to harness its natural power to secure a greener, cleaner, and more prosperous Liverpool City Region for this and future generations. We have one of the UK’s largest tidal ranges and a long history of research into tidal power. We can harness this heritage and the power of our tides to generate a plentiful, reliable supply of clean, green energy, powering hundreds of thousands of homes.
