From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following 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.
