Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram and the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority officially signed off on the next pivotal phase of the multi-billion-pound Mersey Tidal Power Project. For the first time, developers formally revealed the preferred location for the massive infrastructure scheme, proposing a barrage across the River Mersey between Liverpool and Wirral. The ambitious project is designed to generate predictable, clean energy for over a century, powering up to one million homes. Local leaders are hailing this milestone as a massive leap forward for green infrastructure, though it will now face intensive environmental impact testing.
