Why was tidal energy chosen for Strangford Lough?
The shape of Strangford Lough makes it an extremely suitable
location for a tidal power station. It has a very narrow opening to
the sea, but is very long and wide inside. When the tide comes in
or out there is a lot of fast flowing water going through the
narrow entrance where it can be harnessed by turbine generators etc
to produce renewable electricity.
