Tide and Wave Electricity Generation by Country

Tide and wave electricity generation by country measures the amount of electricity generated from tide and wave electricity generation in each country, measured in quadrillion British thermal units (quad Btu) per year. The statistics are based on the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) International Energy Statistics. The table covers 2 countries with a reported 2024 value, from 2019 to 2024. The World total stood at 0.0032 quad Btu in 2024, up from 0.0031 in 2023.

Tide and wave electricity generation measures the electricity produced from tide and wave electricity generation, as reported in the EIA dataset.

The World total stood at 0.0032 quad Btu in 2024. France and South Korea each recorded 0.0015 quad Btu, making them the two largest and equal reported values in the dataset.

Countries With the Largest Tide and Wave Electricity Generation in 2024

France and South Korea recorded the same tide and wave electricity generation in 2024, at 0.0015 quad Btu each. Together, the two listed countries accounted for about 93.8 percent of the World total reported by the EIA.

Tide and Wave Electricity Generation Around the World

The dataset contains reported values for only France and South Korea. France recorded 0.0015 quad Btu in 2024, while South Korea also recorded 0.0015 quad Btu. The two countries therefore had identical reported generation in 2024.

Global Structure in This Dataset

Tide and wave electricity generation is highly concentrated among the two countries listed in the dataset. Their combined 2024 value was 0.0030 quad Btu, equal to about 93.8 percent of the reported World total of 0.0032 quad Btu. France was the sole highest-valued country in 2021 and 2022, while France and South Korea were tied in 2019, 2020, 2023, and 2024.

Largest Changes in Tide and Wave Electricity Generation, 2023-2024

Neither France nor South Korea recorded a change in reported tide and wave electricity generation between 2023 and 2024. France remained at 0.0015 quad Btu, while South Korea also remained at 0.0015 quad Btu.

The World total increased from 0.0031 to 0.0032 quad Btu, an increase of 0.0001 quad Btu, or about 3.2 percent.

Between 2019 and 2024, France's reported generation declined from 0.0016 to 0.0015 quad Btu, while South Korea's also declined from 0.0016 to 0.0015 quad Btu. Both countries ended 2024 at the same reported value, although their annual values followed different patterns during the period.

Total Analysis for 2019-2024

The World total for tide and wave electricity generation ranged from 0.0031 to 0.0034 quad Btu during 2019-2024. It was 0.0034 in 2019, 0.0034 in 2020, 0.0033 in 2021, 0.0033 in 2022, 0.0031 in 2023, and 0.0032 in 2024.

Methodology

The statistics are based on the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) International Energy Statistics. Values refer to tide and wave electricity generation, in quadrillion British thermal units (quad Btu) per year as in the source, and 2024 figures are from the INTL.117-12 series where listed. Where no value is available, the cell is left empty. A value of 0 indicates that the source reports zero. The sum of the individually listed countries may differ from the reported World total because the source includes estimates and rounding. This page covers tide and wave electricity generation only and does not include other indicators, which are reported separately in the source.
