List of tidal power stations - wikipedia List of tidal power stations This page lists most power stations that run on tidal power. Since tidal stream generators are an immature technology, no technology has yet emerged as the clear standard. A large variety of designs are being experimented with, with some very close to large scale deployment. Hence, the following page lists stations of different technologies. Contents 1 Tidal power stations 1.1 Operational 1.2 Under construction 1.3 Proposed 2 See also 3 References Tidal power stations Operational The Rance Tidal Power Station. The following table lists tidal power stations that are in operation as of August 2011.
