The department has identified more than 35GW of backup generation that exists across the country to ensure if the nation needs it, that it be made available. | U.S. Department of Energy

The United States has achieved a major milestone in renewable energy by deploying the world’s largest tidal energy turbine, harnessing the predictable power of ocean tides. • The turbine can generate up to 2 megawatts of clean electricity. • It uses tidal currents, which are more predictable than wind or solar. • Installed underwater, it operates without disrupting surface activities. • Designed to withstand harsh ocean conditions and strong currents. • Can power thousands of homes with zero car
