Annapolis Royal - Tidal Power Station

Outside Annapolis Royal, about 10km (6mi) to the north on the north bank of the tidal power station at Annapolis is the first of its kind in North America. It started up in 1985 and utilizes the hydro-energy released by the tidal rise, which is the highest in the world. It is also a pilot scheme for a much larger power station based on the same principle, which is expected to produce 6000 megawatts of electricity.
