The Cost and Returns of the Build


Energy production in the UK will be the target of investment this decade, and a project that is risk free in the design and build giving some one hundred years of income along with limited competition.  Blue-chip returns on the tide.
 
The estimated £14 billion build cost can be met by private investors or even a UK public bond.  The financial case is clear unlike the similar investments in Hinckley 'C'hina which teeters on technical and security failure.
 
In practical terms, you could take a Le Rance in Northern France (that has been running for forty years) replace single direction turbines to dual, scale up seven times, place a maintenance team along the Causeway with servicing and turbine outage 24/7, oven-ready technology, concrete and turbines.
