Tidal and ocean-current power and Tides

Energy flows from tides to tidal and ocean-current power.

Tidal and ocean-current power (energy) and Tides (energy): 1 relationship.

How they are linked

1. Energy flow

Physical flow · 100% of flow · Tides → Tidal and ocean-current power

Barrages and seabed turbines use the rise, fall and rush of tides.

  • 100% of Tides's energy goes this way

Built from the site data on production routes, energy flows, industry value chains, input-output tables and prices.
