- Tidal wave energy has seen a number of advances and developments in the last few years.
- This power source is being considered as a substantial part of meeting future energy needs.
- New devices and processes are being discovered which make it easier and cheaper to utilize tidal wave energy.

Another advancement in tidal wave energy that was developed by companies concerns the rotation ability of the underwater tidal turbines. One of the disadvantages of these turbines is normally that they can only capture tidal energy from one direction, so that when the tide reverses the power is not captured, and is lost instead. New equipment introduced can eliminate much of this problem, because the mounting system uses a swivel. This allows the machine to swivel around and catch the tide even after it reverses. This technology allows double the tidal wave energy to be captured without increasing costs or requiring more equipment. More investments are being made in alternative energy companies, and this includes the power which can be derived from the tides and ocean. Further development has also allowed the materials used in the equipment to be the lightest and strongest possible, so that the severe weather and sea conditions do not pose as large of a threat. The ocean tides offer vast potential for the energy needed by mankind, and this sector has seen advancements in technology that make this process more cost effective and efficient, as well as environmentally friendly.
