What Does OTEC Stand For?

OTEC stands for Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a renewable energy technology that utilizes the temperature gradient between warm surface seawater and cold deep seawater to generate electricity. By exploiting this temperature difference, OTEC systems can operate efficiently to convert thermal energy from the ocean into mechanical energy, which is then transformed into electrical power. This sustainable energy source has the potential to provide a continuous and reliable supply of electricity while minimizing environmental impact, making it an attractive option for coastal regions and island communities.
