The organisation behind plans for a tidal lagoon in the Severn Estuary and improved rail connections across south Wales and western England, has lost its UK government funding.
Western Gateway received £1m a year as part of a three-year package announced in 2022, but will now cease to exist in its current form from 6 June.
The UK government announced its intention at the budget last autumn to stop funding so-called pan regional partnerships (PRPs) and wants the new system of elected mayors in England to take up their work instead.
The shadow secretary of state for Wales, Mims Davies, said she was "horrified" by the decision.
