- Yes, the first tidal power station in the world was built in France, at La Rance, in 1966. It has a capacity of 240 MW (MegaWatts).
- The largest in the world is the 254 MW Sihwa Lake in South Korea (2011)
- The first in North America is in the Bay of Fundy, Canada (1984, 20 MW)
- Russia has a small tidal power station on the Barents Sea (2006, 1.6 MW)
- South Korea has stations to open in 2013 (90MW), 2017 (1320 MW), and three more all more than 100 MW each.
- Scotland is opening one in Islay in 2013 (10 MW)
- India begins construction in 2012 on a 50 MW tidal farm in the Gulf of Kutch.

Why is tide and wave energy considered renewable resources?
Energy is renewable if it comes from a renewable source. Wave power, capturing the movement of the tides and ocean waves is renewable, because using it today does not mean it stops tomorrow. There are many experimental stations around the world for wave energy, but no large and successful results yet.
Why is tidal energy a renewable form of energy?
Because tides are created every second.
