The annual output of electricity was estimated at approximately 17 terawatt hours (TWh). However, at the time Government decided a Severn Barrage was not a cost-effective option for generating electricity and plans were shelved. A comprehensive history of studies and plans for a Severn Barrage can be found under Severn Barrage.
