Tidal power is a clean renewable energy. Furthermore,electricity is acknowledged as a key need for development. However, until recently, due to high capital costs and extensive environmental concerns, few tidal power plants are operative around the world. These problems are now being mitigated by the application of appropriate, modern practices and technologies. In particular the use of small-scale technologies, innovative financing and the involvement of local communities creates the potential for tidal power to be a tool in coastal development. This book examines the appropriateness of tidal power in the rural coastal community of developing countries like Bangladesh, where electricity demand is a major development problem.
