Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox company Hafren Power (formerly Corlan Hafren) was a tidal energy business formed to promote construction of a Severn Barrage between Wales and England.
History
The company was established in 2010[1] as a consortium of companies forming a tidal energy business.[2] Its founders included engineering and construction companies,[3][4] intending to promote the Severn Barrage.[4] It was originally named Corlan Hafren,[5] which means Severn Group in Welsh.[6] Шаблон:As of it comprises four companies, Arup,[7] Mott MacDonald,[7][8][9] Halcrow[7][9] and architects Marks Barfield.[7][9] Halcrow is lead company.[10] Associated companies and persons involved in the project include Atkins, Rolls-Royce,[11] accountants KPMG[6][12] and Roger Falconer.[6]
Journalist Christopher Booker of The Sunday Telegraph noted in August 2012 that former Conservative environment secretary John Gummer is a former director of the company. Шаблон:As of one sixth of shares were held by Sancroft International, which is owned by the Gummer family.[13]
The House of Commons Energy and Climate Change Select Committee examined Hafren Power's proposal in 2013, coming to the conclusion:
In 2013 and 2014 several executives and the CEO resigned.[14] Shortly after, Wales Online reported Hafren Power as defunct.[15]
Severn Barrage
In 2010 the company revived proposals for the Severn Barrage[16] from Cardiff to Weston-super-Mare[17] and in 2011 it presented them to the Department of Energy and Climate Change.[18] Former shadow Welsh Secretary Peter Hain and company representatives met with Prime Minister David Cameron in July 2012 to promote the project.[18]
The company said that the project will not require public funding and expected to attract investment from venture capital firms and pension funds.[12] It had sought funding from sovereign wealth funds,[5] stating that expressions of interest have been received from such funds and other investors in Kuwait, Qatar,[19] the UK[20] and elsewhere.[19]
Hafren Power stated the scheme would require £25 billion of capital investment, and estimated power costs were about £100 per MWh for the first 30 years, and £20 per MWh thereafter.[21]
