Caroline Jones accuses the UK government of showing "utter contempt" for the Swansea region.
She says the Welsh Government has UKIP's support "in fighting this decision".
Plaid Cymru's Dai Lloyd says "words cannot convey my depth of devastation.
"This is a wonderful project, there's tremendous potential for tidal energy in Swansea Bay and the Bristol channel".
Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies says, "I bitterly regret that a more positive decision was not made yesterday".
However, he adds "the numbers were always challenging if you looked at the economics, just the raw power generated".
Ken Skates says the UK government's decision not to back the world's first tidal power lagoon is "deeply disappointing", adding they have "badly let down the people of Wales".
He says is is a "further blow" following the disappointment that the Great Western mainline was only being electrified as far as Cardiff.

The next item is the Business Statement and Announcement.
Leader of the House Julie James outlines the Assembly's future business and responds to requests from AMs.
The first minister says he "does not understand" what independent AM Neil McEvoy was alleging he had done over the Cardiff local development plan.
"We'll look forward to your full support' in the vote of no confidence in Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns tomorrow, says Plaid Cymru's Dai Lloyd.
The first minister doesn't say whether or not he will back it.
If the rise in online sales continues, then by 2028 many of our traditional retailers would have disappeared, says Caroline Jones.
The first minister reiterates that urban centres should be more mixed.
UKIP leader Caroline Jones raises retail closures, listing a long list of stores that are shutting including House of Fraser in Cardiff and Cwmbran.
The UK government are not appearing to address the issue, she says and asks what the Welsh Government is doing?
The first minister suggests the answer may be for city centres to be more mixed - in terms of offices and residential properties.
Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies asks about the report into Gosport War Memorial Hospital and the excessive use of opiate painkillers. Has the Welsh Government considered any implications from it?
Officials will look at the report, replies the first minister.
What action will the Welsh Government be doing to work with health boards so families that have concerns over syringe drivers can have them addressed, Andrew RT Davies asks.
The first minister says he is not aware of concerns but says if they have them they can be raised with an AM or ministers.
The first minister says Plaid Cymru is letting the UK government "off the hook".
First Minister's Questions does not involve answering questions about Westminster, he adds.

"You're just going to wring your hands. You're not even going to bother trying' over the lagoon, Leanne Wood accuses the first minister.
She calls for him to condemn Labour MPs who backed leaving the single market and customs union.
The first minister accuses Plaid Cymru of moving the blame elsewhere for the rejection of the lagoon.
"Wales has been let down by a decision of the UK government," he says.
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood sees a "small window of opportunity" to save Swansea tidal lagoon by setting up a Welsh public energy company.
But the first minister says “we cannot fill in the gaps that they (UK government) have left”.
Image source, TLPThe first minister replies that it is important that women affected receive the support they need, and he notes that the UK government's inquiry is not due to report until 2023 and he expects "robust" recommendations so "unacceptable practices are not repeated".
Mr Jones also refers to the Live Fear Free Helpline, external.
The first of the tabled questions, external is by Bethan Sayed: Will the First Minister make a statement on the support for Welsh women affected directly by the spycops issue?
She has an event later about uncovering police officers who had relationships with Welsh women activists.
A public inquiry into allegations of wrongdoing by undercover officers is ongoing.
Prynhawn da.
