Non-Conventional energy resources - Tidal energy includes a 254MW tidal power station in South Korea and a 50MW tidal plant under construction in India. Wind energy includes the world's largest 6,800MW onshore wind farm in China and India's largest 1,500MW offshore wind farm. Geothermal energy production ranges from 3-5MW plants in India to a 232.5MW geothermal plant in the Philippines. Some countries have experimented with magneto-hydrodynamic generators and solar energy includes India's goal of 1000MW from solar power and the first solar powered airport in Cochin, India.
