Generation of clean and constant electricity
Why is it clean and constant?
It requires no fossil fuels, emits no greenhouse gases (CO₂), and generates no polluting waste. It is constant, water always flows (in rivers or through tides), it is predictable, you can calculate how much electricity it will generate each day and it is renewable, water moves naturally through the Earth.- Hydrokinetic energy is combined with solar or wind energy to form more stable hybrid systems.
- They are predictable and stable sources (especially tidal power), which is an advantage over other renewable energies such as solar or wind.
- Ideal for supplying remote coastal or river communities.
