| Tiivistelmä: | The origin and nature of tidal power is summarized, the construction of a tidal barrage and its operation are described. It is argued that tidal power is a benign, relatively concentrated and highly predictable source of renewable energy. To exploit it will not require new technology to be developed; the concepts on which all the main components are based have been used extensively in similar conditions for other purposes such as offshore oil fields, marine defences and run-of-river hydro projects. The parts of the world which are suitable for the exploitation of tidal power are small in number but UK has a substantial size. |
