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.

How long does a tidal power last?
Tidal power is a renewable energy source that can last indefinitely as long as there are tides. Tidal power plants can operate continuously, generating electricity whenever the tides are moving in and out.
Does Australia use tidal power?
Australia has the potential for tidal power generation, but currently, there are no operational tidal power plants in the country. Research and pilot projects have been carried out to explore the potential of tidal energy as a renewable energy source in Australia, but commercial-scale deployment is still in the early stages.
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.
Where is the tidal power in the Philippines?
The Philippines does not currently have any operating tidal power plants. However, there are potential sites for tidal energy projects in areas like the San Bernardino Strait and Surigao Strait, which have strong tidal currents suitable for generating electricity.
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?

What loses energy when you use tidal power plants?
Tidal power plants harness the energy from ocean tides, which is primarily derived from the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun. In using this energy, the kinetic energy of the moving water is partially converted into electricity, meaning the water loses some of its energy as it flows through the turbines in the power plant.
