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.
