Turning Warm Seas Into Power

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion or OTEC is making a strong return across the Pacific as nations seek stable renewable baseload energy. Floating OTEC platforms use the temperature difference between warm surface water and cold deep water to generate electricity continuously. New modular designs, efficient heat exchangers, and deep-water pumping systems are transforming this century-old idea into practical clean power. By 2026, full-scale demonstrators are planned near island nations, proving that the ocean itself can deliver constant and dependable energy for coastal regions worldwide.
