Tidal Energy Pros and Cons. Last updated May 5, 2013 by Mathias Aarre Maehlum. The worldwide potential for tidal power is estimated to be 700 TWh a year. Currently, tidal power is early in the development stages and not able to compete with fossil fuels.However, Focus on renewable energy sources and demand for clean energy contributes to a rapid development of methods to harness this energy source.. We have no reason to believe that tidal power plants are not long lived. This ultimately reduces the cost these power plants can sell their electricity, making tidal energy more cost-competitive. The tidal barrage power plant La Rance was opened already in 1966 and still generates large amounts of electricity.
Harnessing the Energy. As the turbines turn they create energy. This happens both as the tide comes in and as the tide goes out. The turbines' energy is then routed to storage generators and sent out through power lines to feed the power needs of the community.enefits and Setbacks. The benefits of using tidal energy is that it is a natural and predictable source of energy. However, it also has its setbacks since the tide is only moving for 8 to 10 hours per day.
