Asia’s first large tidal energy farm will be deployed off the Indian state of Gujarat next year, under an agreement signed in January between state-owned Gujarat Power Corp. Ltd. and marine energy developer Atlantis Resources Corp., based in the U.K. and Singapore.
“Tidal energy represents a huge opportunity for us,” says D.J. Pandian, the power firm’s chairman and managing director. “This project will be India’s and Asia’s first at commercial scale, paving the way for similar developments within Gujarat.”
