Current Projects
Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation has world-wide business dealings for multiple projects. Having signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Bahamas Electricity Corporation, OTE Corporation is currently moving forward with this ground-breaking project, expected to culminate with OTE’s construction, ownership and operation of the world’s first two commercial Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) plants. These facilities are planned to include not only clean baseload (24/7) electricity production, but potable water and sustainable food production as well in the form of aquaculture, mariculture and chilled soil agriculture.
In addition to this project to construct two OTEC plants in the Bahamas, OTE Corporation has also executed an MoU with a major African Utility Company to move forward with OTEC and potable water plants in East Africa. OTE has further received a Preliminary Power Purchase Agreement to build, own and operate another OTEC facility for a Pacific Island utility. These Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Ocean based projects signal the start of OTE Corporation’s globalization of its competitively priced renewable energy resource.
OTE Corporation has also recently consummated an Energy Services Agreement (ESA), under which OTE Corporation will build, own and operate the world’s largest deep ocean Seawater District Cooling (SDC) facility, saving an estimated 80-90 percent in air conditioning electricity usage for multiple hotels and a casino at the world-class luxury Baha Mar Resort in The Bahamas. These clean energy OTEC and SDC projects, together, would have estimated revenues to Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation of approximately 2.5 billion dollars. Learn More »
Common Ground
Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation was founded upon the principle that, in seeking common ground, we not only foster a more civil and peaceful world, but ultimately accomplish more in our abilities to address mounting global concerns. The vast majority of people on this planet have the same needs and desires for themselves and their families... food, clean water, electricity and security… Learn more »
