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

How much does does it cost to build a tidal power system?

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.
