Where does tidal energy come from?

Tidal energy comes from the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on Earth's oceans, which creates tides. As the water level rises and falls, it generates kinetic and potential energy that can be harnessed for electricity production. Tidal energy is considered a renewable energy source because it is driven by natural astronomical forces and is predictable. Tidal power plants typically utilize turbines to convert this energy into usable electricity.
