Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation (OTE Corp.), originally founded as OCEES International, Inc. in 1998, specializes in Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) and Seawater/Lake Water Air Conditioning (SWAC/LWAC). With over 30 years of expertise, we are at the forefront of deploying OTEC and SWAC/LWAC systems to enhance military readiness and energy security for U.S. military bases and expand critical infrastructure in equatorial nations.

Strengthening U.S. Military Capabilities in Remote Locations
OTE Corp. is committed to improving warfighting capability by providing continuous, fuel-independent power and critical infrastructure to remote U.S. military bases in tropical regions. With OTEC’s 24/7 power generation and SWAC/LWAC’s highly efficient cooling, our technology:

• Eliminates dependence on imported fuel, reducing logistical risks.
• Ensures uninterrupted base operations, enhancing operational readiness.
• Delivers fresh water for drinking and base needs, improving self-sufficiency.
• Reduces strain on existing energy infrastructure, allowing for expansion without additional fuel costs.

Under a contract with the U.S. Army, OTE Corp. is leading the design and engineering of a floating OTEC system for a remote military base in the Pacific—a crucial step toward the widespread deployment of military-grade OTEC systems.

Delivering OTEC & SWAC/LWAC to Equatorial Nation

Beyond military applications, OTE Corp. is accelerating the delivery of OTEC and SWAC/LWAC systems to nations in tropical regions, ensuring reliable energy and cooling solutions for commercial, industrial, and governmental use. Our proven SWAC/LWAC technology has been deployed at large-scale developments, including a Caribbean mega-resort cooling system serving five hotels and a 100,000-square-foot facility.

Our expertise extends across U.S. government and private-sector projects, including:

• Feasibility studies, designs, and proposals submitted to the Office of Naval Research, U.S. Department of Defense, and U.S. Department of Agriculture.
• Private sector projects in the UK, Africa, the Caribbean, the Philippines, and beyond.
• Engineering leadership from experts with decades of hands-on experience in OTEC system design and implementation.
• Positioned for Deployment & Expansion

OTE Corp. is headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Our focus remains on securing military and commercial contracts to bring OTEC and SWAC/LWAC technology to where needed most—advancing U.S. military resilience and strengthening infrastructure in equatorial nations.
