The plant consists of a 12.7 km long seawall that separates Sihwa Lake from the West Sea. Ten bulb turbines are installed in the seawall and generate electricity as the tide flows in and out of the lake.

Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Station generates enough electricity to power a city of 500,000 people. It is a clean and renewable source of energy that does not produce any greenhouse gas emissions.
