Depending on the size it could cost millions of dollars, millions of pounds, millions of euros. There's no way of answering this question accurately. One of the suggested tidal stations for the Severn Estuary in England/Wales is costed at 23 billion pounds.
That depends on how wide an estuary it has to span, on the geological conditions for its foundations, on the tidal range, and other factors. But for any serious tidal barrage you are looking at hundreds of millions of pounds, probably billions of pounds.
Basically what we are saying is that Tidal power is not developed as of yet. We do not know the cost per watt of this technology as of yet.

How much does tidal power cost to build?
Tidal energy is a form of gathering energy from the tidal currents. Depending of the size of the system it could cost billions. A system planned for Britain would cost 15 billion pounds to build.
Why does tidal power stations cost more than hydroelectric power stations?
Tidal power stations require specialized technology to capture energy from changing tides, which is still in the early stages of development and more expensive to build and maintain compared to traditional hydroelectric power stations. Additionally, tidal power stations face more technical challenges due to the harsh marine environment, increasing their construction and operation costs.
What is the Monthly cost of tidal energy?
The monthly cost of tidal energy can vary depending on factors such as the size of the tidal energy system, location, maintenance requirements, and initial setup costs. Generally, tidal energy costs can be higher upfront due to installation and infrastructure expenses but lower in the long term compared to traditional energy sources like fossil fuels.
What is the average cost to build a hydro power plant?
The average cost of building a hydro power plant on the Columbia river is 559,220,000.
What is the cost of tidal power in Canada?
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
What is the average cost to build a typical coal power plant?
1 Pence
What is the cost to build a oil power station?
i asked this question so why dont you answer it
How much money does a nuclear power station cost to build?
billions of dollars
What are the disadvantages of an oil fired power station over a tidal power station?
Oil fired power stations contribute to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, while tidal power stations have minimal environmental impact. Oil fired power stations are dependent on a finite resource, whereas tidal power is a renewable energy source. Additionally, tidal power stations have predictable energy generation patterns, while oil prices can fluctuate.
How much does a tidal turbine cost?
YES
What is the average cost to build a typical nuclear power plant?
6-7 billion
How is tidal energy?
it is caused by the shocks of an earthquake and the earthquake is caused by the movements of the plates at the bottom of the earth
