Tidal Power The largest tidal power plant is in South Korea which produces 254 MW of power. The largest tidal power plant is in South Korea which produces 254 MW of power. There are currently no tidal power plants in the United Sates rate now. There are currently no tidal power plants in the United Sates rate now.

The Future of Tidal Power The high capital costs associated with tidal barrage systems are likely to restrict development of this resource in the near future. In a future in which energy costs are likely to rise then tidal barrage schemes could prove to be a major provider of energy in the late 21st century and beyond.
