A tidal barrage is a dam or a weir built across the inlet to a bay or river mouth. There are gates, or sluices, that open to let water in as the tide rises, and out after it falls. This moving water spins turbines to generate electricity.

What is the problem when using tidal energy?

The dams and barrages often have to be built across quite a long channel and this can be expensiveThe dams and barrages sometimes interfere with fish movements or shipping.Places suitable for tidal power are sometimes far away from the electricity grid. Connecting wires over long distances loses an amount of power.Holding back the tide allows silt to build up on the river bed, thus reducing the water flow over a number of years.
