Tidal energy has a relatively high efficiency rate of around 80%, meaning 80% of the kinetic energy from tides can be converted to usable electrical energy. It is an inexhaustible and environmentally-friendly source that can generate energy on a large scale from predictable tides. While the costs of constructing tidal power plants and transmission are high, tidal energy has no fuel costs and power plants have a long lifespan. However, there are few suitable locations and tidal intensity can be unpredictable, potentially impacting aquatic life.
