据英国广播公司（BBC）1月19日报道，英国亚特兰提斯资源公司计划在印度西海岸的库奇海湾兴建一座潮汐电厂。 该电厂的规模达50兆瓦，工程将于2012年初开始，次年竣工。
The company Atlantis Resources is to install a 50MW tidal farm in the Gulf of Kutch on India's west coast, with construction starting early in 2012.
如果潮汐能、风能和波浪能都得到发展，英国就可以关闭天然气、煤炭和核能发电厂，并向欧洲其他地区出口可再生能源。
If tide, wind and wave power are all developed, Britain would be able to close gas, coal and nuclear power plants and export renewable power to other parts of Europe.
工厂周围是140平方英里的潮汐滩地，那是填海造陆得来的，不久会陆续盖上新的石化厂，发电厂，还有其他的重工业工厂。
The plant is surrounded by 140 square miles of tidal flats that are being reclaimed from the sea and will soon be covered in new petrochemical plants, power stations and other heavy industry.
