The Bay of Fundy’s tidal range exceeds 15 metres. When the tide is flowing through the Minas Passage currents move at speeds of up to 14 kilometers per hour. At mid-tide, the flow in the Minas Passage equals the combined flow of all the rivers and streams on Earth.

"The available tidal energy potential for the Minas Passage, Nova Scotia is over 1 GW.  Harnessing just 15% of the available tidal energy resource base would generate enough electricity to power about 120,000 Canadian homes (assuming an average of 1.3 kW per home)"
