The project was executed by Electrocorp New Zealand [ECNZ] and is currently being operated by Genesis Energy. The project is unique as the electricity is created by water running through a 1.4km long intake tunnel from Lake Tekapo. The project started in 1938 and was completed in 1951 after it was halted in 1942 due to WWII. Tekapo Power Station A is one of eight Hydro dams in the Waitaki Hydro scheme running from Lake Tekapo to Lake Waitaki. http://www.tekapotourism.co.nz/info/hydro.html -
This project was executed by Électricité de France (EDF). This is considered a project as La Rance is the first tidal power station, as well as being the first tidal power station, it is also the second largest in the world. This project took 5 years to make and the cost being $100M. An interesting fact about this project is that its still active and also they have made back all the money that was spent on the project itself.

End date of project: december 1 2008. This project was executed by Simec Atlantis Energy. SeaGen turbine is the worlsd first commercial-scale tidal turbine. Purpose of the deliverable was to supply electricity for both the UK and Ireland. Interesting fact is that this project is no longer in commision as of June 1st, 2016. As this project was the first of its kind, it was also used as a prototype so therefore information regarding marine wildlife and any impact on them was essential.

The project was executed by Southern California Edison. The project was unique as it was the largest battery energy storage in North America at the time of the project completion. The outcome was over a two year period the project demonstrated the benefits of battery energy storage and the value of having variable renewable energy sources integrated into the storage system capability.
