They are normally built where there is a bay or inlet that narrows to the sea, so that when the tide goes in and out there is a great amount of water rushing in or out.
- 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.

What loses energy when you use tidal power plants?
The rotation of the planets slows through the use of tidal power.
How do plants survive in tidal flats?
They have super power
What has the author James A Fay written?
James A. Fay has written: 'Introduction to fluid mechanics' -- subject(s): Fluid mechanics 'Small scale tidal power plants' -- subject(s): Hydroelectric power plants, Tidal power-plants
How many years has tidal power been used?
The first tidal power station in the world was built on the River Rance, in France, in 1966.
Could tidal power plant be built in the Great Lakes?

What is hydroenergy?
It is the energy obtained from hydroelectric power plants; on rivers, tidal, etc.
List of tidal power plants in India?
India begins construction in 2012 on a 50 MW tidal farm in the Gulf of Kutch.
How are tidal power plants similar to hydroelectric plants?
Both use the flow of water generate electricity. Hydroelectric uses the flow of water from a high point to a low point. (A damn). Tidal power uses the flow of ocean tides in and out.
Does tidal power cause pollution?
There may be some, as the plant is built. But for the actual running of the plant - no.
Energy generated from tidrs?
Tidal energy production is still in its infancy. The amount of power produced so far has been small. There are very few commercial-sized tidal power plants.
Does the process of operation in tidal power plants cause danger to the workers?

Where tidal energy is used?
Tidal energy (or tidal power) can be used wherever there is a large bay or river mouth with a narrow outlet to the sea. This means the tides rush in and out at speed and are able to spin electricity turbines. The are two functioning tidal power plants in the world is in France (Rance) and it is a 240 MW unit and a 254 MW unit called the Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Plant in South Korea.
