The Rance Tidal Power Station is located in France, near the estuary of the Rance River. It was completed in 1966 and is one of the first large-scale tidal power plants in the world. The station harnesses the energy of tidal movements to generate electricity, using a dam that creates a difference in water levels. The facility has a total installed capacity of 240 megawatts, producing enough energy to power around 400,000 homes. It operates by allowing water to flow through turbines during high and low tides, making it a significant example of renewable energy technology in the Brittany region.
