A tidal Energy System has officially launched and is now providing clean power to Nova Scotia's electricity system, making it the first tidal energy to flow into the grid in Canada. Grand Passage's groundbreaking initiative is backed by $28.5 million in funding from the Canadian government - one of the largest tidal energy investments in Canada's history. Sustainable Oceans is working to provide the world's first floating tidal array at FORCE (Fendi Ocean Energy Research Centre). The vast tidal energy resource of the Bay of Fundy contains more than four times the total flow of every freshwater river in the world and has the potential to generate around 2,500 megawatts of green energy. Nova Scotia has allocated approximately 30 megawatts of capacity through FORCE's demonstration permit and berths for developers to demonstrate the effectiveness, costs and environmental impacts associated with this new form of energy production.
