The Bay of Fundy has the largest tides in the world with a difference of as much as 48 feet between low tide and high tide. The greater the difference, the more energy can be derived from the change.
The highest tides in the world occur in the Bay of Fundy, the body of water between the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

These projects are planned but costs must be only an estimate at present. British Columbia Tidal Energy Corp. plans to deploy at least three 1.2 MW turbines in the Campbell River or in the surrounding coastline of British Columbia by 2009.[21] Nova Scotia Power has selected OpenHydro's turbine for a tidal energy demonstration project in the Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia, Canada
The greatest tidal range in the world is located at the Bay of Fundy in Canada. The highest and lowest in the bay has a difference of 16. 3 meters, that is taller than a three story building.
Rivers don't have tidal ranges. Inlets, bays, estuaries, etc. do. are you really asking where on earth we observe the second highest coastal tidal range? That would be in the Severn Estuary in England, with Turnagain Arm in Alaska a close third. The Bay of Fundy in Canada has the highest tides.
A dam used for tidal power is called a barrage. Such dams exist in a number of places: Rance River, in France Bay of Fundy, in Canada Kislaya Guba, in Russia Other barrages are under consideration. See the related link, below, for more information.
The second highest tidal range is on the Bristol Channel (England, UK) the sea between England and Wales. It has a tidal range of 15 metres, second to the Bay of fundy in Canada which has 16 metres. CB

Yes. There are three Barrage systems of tidal energy operating throughout the world.One of these is in the Bay of Fundy in Canada.

AnswerBay of Fundy, Canada. 53 feet (16meters). And many people come to see the bay of fundy to see it at its lowest tide and its highest tide. Bay of Fundy and Ungava Bay.Turnagain Arm is an also ran in that competition.
55 feet
One of the first is in the Bay of Fundy in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada.
Yes- the Bay of Fundy in Canada is the record holder- about 48 feet difference between high and low tide. Impressive to watch.

Greatest Tidal Variations are located in the Bay of Fundy South of Prince Edward island around the maritime provinces of Canada if your looking on a map
The largest tidal shift has been recorded at the Bay of Fundy in Canada averaging 52 feet
