Tidal Power Stations

Stations that capture the energy of the tides, including the La Rance barrage in France, the Sihwa Lake station in South Korea and the MeyGen tidal stream plant in Scotland. A facility belongs here when its cited article describes a station that generates power from tides. It excludes wave power and offshore wind farms, and this group records the use of tidal flow to turn turbines. Each of these stations turns the rise and fall of the sea or the flow of a tidal current into electricity, and a station is placed here by the tidal technology the cited article describes, whether a barrage, a lagoon or a stream turbine.
