  • It can only be used when it Is windy
  • Depends on the wind speed 
  • If the wind is light less power will be created

  • The energy is free - no fuel needed, no waste produced. 
  • Not expensive to operate and maintain. 
  • Can produce a great deal of energy.

  • Depends on the waves - sometimes you'll get loads of energy, sometimes almost nothing. 
  • Needs a suitable site, where waves are consistently strong. 
  • Some designs are noisy. But so are waves, so any noise is unlikely to be a problem.
  • Must be able to withstand very rough weather.

  • Once the dam is built, the energy is free. 
  • No waste or pollution produced.
  • Much more reliable than wind, solar or wave power. 
  • Water can be stored above the dam ready for peaks in demand.
  • Hydro-electric power stations can increase to full power very quickly, unlike other power stations. 
  • Electricity can be generated constantly.

  • The dams are very expensive to build.
  • Building a large dam will affect both sides of dam in terms of water quantity and quality.
  • Finding a suitable site can be difficult - the impact on residents and the environment may be unacceptable.
