The world's largest tidal power machine will be installed off the coast of Orkney, Scotland. This experimental device will use the ebb and flow of the tides off the island to generate a megawatt of electricity a year, enough to power 1000 homes. More here.
Britain hopes to be world leaders in the development of tidal and wave energy technology. It has a number of wave related projects going on around our coast including one off Cornwall which should be plugged into the national grid sometime next year.
