The United States has developed 2-megawatt-class tidal energy turbines, among the most powerful of their kind, designed to harvest predictable ocean tides. These systems generate electricity by spinning underwater rotors as tides flow—offering reliable, low-carbon power compared to variable sources like wind or solar. Key Facts: • 2 MW-class tidal turbine technology • Uses predictable tidal currents • Operates underwater with low visual impact • Zero fuel and low emissions • Potential for coasta

Tidal currents – driven by the gravitational forces of the sun and moon – create one of the most predictable sources of renewable energy. Unlike wind and solar, tidal energy can be forecast hundreds of years in advance, making it an essential solution for balancing the grid and providing a stable electricity baseload. 💡How does it work? Tidal energy technologies harness the movement of water to generate electricity: 🔷 Horizontal-axis turbines – work like underwater wind turbines, turning with
