France-based Blue Shark Power System plans to test a 500 kW tidal energy device off the coast of Djibouti, starting in early 2019, before the phased installation of a 200 MW tidal energy plant there. The project is part of an initiative by Djibouti and France that aims at developing renewable sources for electricity generation on its territory.
