 | | A relatively new technology development, tidal stream generators draw energy from underwater currents in much the same way that wind generators are powered by the wind. |
 | | Tidal stream technology is at the very early stages of development though and will require significantly more research before it becomes a significant contributor to electrical generation needs. |
 | | For example, in the UK in 2003, a 300 kW Seaflow marine current propeller type turbine was tested off the north coast of Devon, and a 150 kW oscillating hydroplane device, the Stingray, was tested off the Scottish coast. |
