NREL estimates US marine energy sources could generate 2,300 terawatt-hours a year, or 57 percent of the country's 2019 electricity output, yet the US has zero commercial tidal plants running today. Tapping into the country’s tidal energy potential could be a major game changer for decarbonization and energy security in the United States. Despite the country’s vast tidal energy potential, the United States currently has zero commercially operating tidal power plants.
