There are no tidal power stations in England yet (there's only one in Europe, and that's in France, at the mouth of the Rance River).

The Severn Estuary is the third most suitable place in the world for tidal power and there is a project under way to develop it. The tidal range is 14 meters, very appropriate. The river is 10 miles across at the best point, so a barrage/bridge would be built across, costing more than twenty billion British pounds (US$30 billion). This would also act as a bridge from England to Wales and should last for 200 years. It would be the biggest renewable energy station in the world, if built.

How is tidal energy stored and utilized for future use?

Tidal energy is stored by converting it into electricity through tidal power plants. This electricity can be used immediately or stored in batteries for future use. Tidal energy can also be used to generate hydrogen through electrolysis, which can be stored and used as a fuel source.


What two ways can tidal energy be used?

Tidal energy can be used to generate electricity through tidal stream systems, which harness the kinetic energy of moving water, or through tidal barrage systems, which use the potential energy of changing water levels to turn turbines and generate power.


How do utility companies that use tidal power provide energy when their customers need it?

Utility companies that use tidal energy would also use other ways of generating power, because tidal energy can only be collected when tides come in or out, that is, usually four times a day. Most utility companies would have access to the national grid and feed their tidal power into it. They would be able to draw on power from other sources when the tide was quiet.


What type of resources can tidal energy be put?

Tidal power, also called tidal energy, is a form of hydropower that converts the energy of tides into useful forms of power, mainly electricity. Tidal energy is a renewable energy source.


Tidal energy would be useful in Kansas yes or no?

No, tidal energy would not be suitable in Kansas as it is a landlocked state without access to oceans or tidal currents required for generating tidal energy.
