Where is tidal power being used now?

Answer 1

France has the biggest tidal power plant on the face of the earth, unfortunately the only tidal plant in Europe.

Tidal power uses energy in ocean movement (waves) to generate electricity.

Tidal power, sometimes called tidal energy, is a form of hydropower that converts the energy of tides into electricity or other useful forms of power. Although not yet widely used, tidal power has potential for future electricity generation. Tides are more predictable than wind energy and solar power. Historically, tide mills have been used, both in Europe and on the Atlantic coast of North America.

Answer 2

By "wave power" I am guessing you mean water waves. Water power has been used for many years - think of water wheels at mill plants Wave power is not that common However, there are ongoing experiments with "tidal" power, where the flow of a tide generates electric by using underwater turbines. This is currently being done under the East River in New York City.

Answer 3

Tidal power is being used in the Bay of Fundy between Nova Scotia and the state of Maine because the tide's rise and fall is higher than most places in the world, hence the amount of power generated is greater than is possible in other places.

Answer 4

• 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.

Answer 5

Tidal power is being used in various locations around the world, such as in France, South Korea, and Canada. These countries have established tidal power projects to generate renewable energy from the natural ebb and flow of the tides. Additionally, there are ongoing research and development efforts in other regions to further harness tidal energy as a sustainable power source.
