Dungeness Tidal Power Station

Dungeness Tidal Power Station, located in the UK, harnesses the movement of ocean tides to generate electricity. It uses underwater turbines placed in the Strait of Dungeness, where tidal flows are strong and reliable. As the tide rises and falls, water flows through these turbines, spinning them much like wind turbines generate electricity. This process provides a renewable and predictable energy source, helping to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. The station is a pioneering example of tidal power technology, offering environmentally friendly electricity by capturing the natural, cyclical motion of ocean tides.
