tidal stream generators

Tidal stream generators harness the movement of ocean currents caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun. These underwater turbines, similar to wind turbines, are placed in strong tidal streams to capture the kinetic energy of moving water. As the water flows past their blades, they spin, generating electricity that is sent to the grid. This renewable energy source is predictable and environmentally friendly, offering a consistent power supply tied to natural tidal cycles without emitting greenhouse gases. Tidal stream generators provide a sustainable way to produce clean energy from our oceans.
