On its online media platform, POWERHOUSE, The National Hydropower Association has just published an article by TMI’s David Hoyle explaining how Tide Mill Institute promotes development and use of tidal energy. “How Tide Mill Institute Preserves and Promotes Tidal Energy” outlines how the organization, as part of its mission, promotes re-use of old tide mill sites and development of tidal energy sources.
TMI takes four approaches to fostering tidal energy:
- Advances appreciation of the American and international heritage of tide mill technology.
- Encourages research into the location and history of tide mill sites.
- Serves as a repository for tide mill data for students, scholars, engineers and the general public and to support and expand the community of these tide mill stakeholders.
- Promotes appropriate re-uses of old tide-mill sites and the development of the use of tides as an energy source.
The article includes examples of current TMI efforts to implement tidal power, including active membership in the National Hydropower Association.
