It seems the commodity cost of coal is about £60 per tonne. The barrage would have produced the equivalent of 18 million tonnes of coal in energy annually- or £1.08 billion- for an annual operating cost of £70 million.

It also had a projected operating lifespan of 120 years. "Too expensive" my arse- anyone who couldn't turn a long-term profit off that would need public execution for rank incompetence.
