Hear the Voice of the Tidal Current - Tidal Current Power Generation Experiments off the Coast of Sakaide City, Kagawa Prefecture and the Future of Environmental Technology" February 1996

The world's first experiment in a power generation system using tidal currents has begun off the coast of Sakaide City, Kagawa Prefecture. This project, which aims to generate power using ocean currents, is attracting attention as a new, environmentally friendly method of supplying energy. This experiment is an important first step toward the practical application of tidal current energy and may be applied to other ocean areas in the future.
