Other countries with strong tidal resources and potential sites for tidal power farms include Argentina, Chile, the U.S. and Canada.
Because the area around the St Davids peninsula is fully exposed to the storm waves of the Atlantic and has major tidal streams it has been identified by the assembly government as a potential site for tidal energy.
According to Kolar, tidal energy also has great potential.

The Renewable Energy Commission has also been looking at the potential for offshore tidal and wind power, which Deputy Duhamel said could play a significant role in improving the island's energy security in the future.
As a minister, I welcomed the chance to deliver the parliament's first cut in business rates, to introduce enterprise education for every child and to kick start new wave and tidal projects to release Scotland's potential to be the renewable energy powerhouse of Europe.
We'll be keeping a close eye on how the November results alter the status quo -- between Windows Phone, LG's Optimus G and a cavalcade of multi-device launches, there's been potential for more than one tidal shift in the mobile world in the past few weeks.

According to IBM Distinguished Engineer Harry Kolar, noise is one of the many potential environmental impacts of both wave energy and tidal energy currently being studied.

In the next decade meeting our existing renewables and efficiency targets would safely close any "energy gap" we might face and cut emissions, while leaving plenty of potential to expand clean energy solutions like wind, tidal and solar even further later.
While tidal power got to the grid first, offshore wind has the potential to create a great deal more electricity.
They are aiming to establish the tidal flow rate at various depths in order to assess the river's potential to generate electricity.
