Global OTEC Clean energy from the ocean

30/09/2026

At the Jewel in Changi airport in Singapore and I couldn’t help but think about OTEC riser pipes… and it’s not as tenuous as you may think! 👀

Also excited to have kicked off our project at the request of the government of the Bahamas, with Plataforma Oceánica de Canarias (), and the European Union’s program, a Initiative!

We can’t wait to be on the ground shortly 🇧🇸⚡️💧

The government of The Bahamas is exploring the development of an ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) facility to generate electricity, according to ocean thermal energy conversion technology firm Global OTE,

We're excited to announce that our first public presentation of learning's from the PLOTEC project is confirmed for this year's ICOE OEE 2026 at The Hague next month.

Our Lead Engineer, Sam Johnston, will be presenting our lessons learned as part of the Thermal Ocean Energy Technologies Showcase.

PLOTEC is an European Commission Horizon Europe funded project aiming to develop and demonstrate a storm-resistant floating structure for OTEC that took place between 2022 and 2026. The project was divided into three phases including design, fabrication, and installation and testing.

We have been thinking a lot about how OTEC technology can fit into this space, (and whether it actually needs to...).

This has involved lots of conversations, with the biggest hyperscalers to the operators of the only Tier IV data centre in the Caribbean.

What we've found is that for the tropics, there is a huge gap to be filled for edge data centres, and the Caribbean is especially behind closing this digital infrastructure gap. This extends far beyond to Sub-Saharan Africa and South East Asia. Thousands of new data centres are going to be required, and they are going to be smaller and decentralised.

So powering these new data centres may seem the obvious move for energy tech, but at Global OTEC we actually see our deep ocean water cooling capability just as valuable as the power when it comes to compute.

This is a feature our systems have by default, a seemingly endless resource of 4°C water, and one which other renewables can't provide. The goal is to significantly reduce OPEX, improve up-times and provide redundancy.

We're doubling down on this approach, with some exciting news coming soon about our first project...!

“Conventional onshore intake systems, while great resources for aquaculture and testing equipment, are low-capacity and expensive,” said Dan Grech, Founder and CEO of Global OTEC.

"Offshore, OTEC can scale in a modular approach that transitions OTEC from being a niche technology to a powerful resource. We now have a new class of standardised and replicable baseload power on a learning curve akin to wind, solar, and batteries.”
