Gideon Amos

Liberal Democrat — Taunton and Wellington

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 October 2026

Debate

Long Duration Electricity Storage Systems

Contribution

My hon. Friend is making a typically excellent and cogent argument for stronger community benefit from these projects. Does he agree that a cousin of pump storage technology is tidal range energy? The west of England has the second highest tidal range in the world, and it will be a missed opportunity if we do not exploit tidal range energy, just as it will be if we do not develop the community benefit programmes that he proposes.
