Asia's first commercial tidal power plant will be built in the Indian state of Gujarat with an initial 50 MW capacity. The initial 50 MW tidal project in the Gulf of Kutch in Gujarat will be developed by international marine energy company Atlantis Resources Corporation and state-owned Gujarat Power Corporation (GPCL).
Narendra Modi, chief minister of Gujarat, has also agreed a total of 250MW of future tidal power development. Construction of the plant may begin later this year.
Atlantis recently conducted an economic and technical study of prime sites in the Gulf of Kutch where up to 300 MW of economically extractable tidal power resource was discovered.
The new plant will require hundreds of millions of dollars of investment in tidal turbines, associated power export infrastructure and the development of a local supply chain and will lead to the creation of hundreds of jobs in the region.
