Historical background

Local authorities in the South West Wales area made a bid for city region status during early 2012.[1] A report to the Welsh Government in July 2012 recommended the creation of city regions in Wales to help improve economic performance compared with the rest of the United Kingdom.[2] The Swansea Bay City Region was launched in July 2013 following a consultation period by the Welsh Government resulting in a report recommending its creation.[3] The launch event was held at Parc y Scarlets where the Swansea Bay City Region Economic Regeneration Strategy was presented which identified several key economic areas to develop.[4] Sir Terry Matthews has been appointed chairman of the Swansea Bay City Region Board.[5][6][7][8][9]

Tidal power

There is a plan to build a barrage across Swansea Bay and direct water from the incoming and outgoing tides through turbines to generate electricity from tidal power as a form of renewable energy.[10][11] The project's backers require the UK government to guarantee the price of the electricity it generates. As of 2021 this guarantee has not been forthcoming.[12]
