BRUSSELS, July 27 (UPI) -- The European Commission said it was moving in line behind a French plan to build a pilot project that would help convert power from tides into electricity.
French energy company ENGIE plans to build a tidal energy project on the western coast of the Cotentin peninsula in the English Channel. Characterizing the pilot project as having a "limitless" energy potential, the French company said it aims to install four tidal turbines with a total generating capacity of 5.6 megawatts.
