Indian state to establish country’s first tidal power plant

by ANJANA PASRICHA

India’s western state of Gujarat is establishing a power plant that will utilize the flow of ocean tides to generate electricity.

The agreement between London-based Atlantis Resources Corporation and the Gujarat government was signed earlier this week after a study identified the Gulf of Kutch along India’s western coast as suitable for tidal power generation.

Tidal power uses turbines to harness the energy contained in the flow of ocean tides.
