The world's first tidal power plant that generated a significant amount of electricity was in La Rance, France in 1966. However, the question specifically asks about the "first generation" of large amounts of electricity, and that distinction belongs to the Annapolis Royal Generating Station in Nova Scotia, Canada, which began operation in 1984 and generated 20 megawatts of power.
