This collectible coin is a wonderful souvenir of yet another Canadian worlds-first record!

The Annapolis Royal Generating Station was a tidal power generating station in the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia. When operational, it was the only tidal generating station in North America and was one of the few in the world. Located upstream of Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, it generated about 30 million kilowatt hours per year, enough for 4500 houses. Peak output was 20 megawatts. The station was shut down in April 2019, after the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat found substantial fish mortality caused by the turbine, and a crucial component failed within the generating system.Β
