Renewable Energy: Tidal Energy

  • What is it?: Tidal energy harnesses the movement of ocean tides caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun. It is a form of renewable energy with predictable energy generation cycles compared to other renewables like wind or solar.
  • Potential of Tidal Energy in India: India has a vast coastline of about 7,500 km, which offers significant potential for tidal energy generation, especially in areas with high tidal range and strong tidal currents.
