In 2020, a three-turbine frame was lowered into New York City's East River; six months later, it had sent 210MWh of tide-made power to the U.S. grid

A New York project set a U.S. marine energy record using underwater turbines. These turbines generated electricity from the East River's tidal currents. Tidal power offers predictable energy generation, unlike solar and wind sources. Global coastlines hold vast, underutilized potential for tidal energy production. However, high costs and engineering challenges remain significant hurdles for widespread adoption.
