Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a renewable energy technology that harnesses the temperature difference between warmer surface ocean water and colder deep ocean water to generate electricity. The principle behind OTEC is based on the fact that the ocean's surface water is typically warmer than the water at greater depths. \#\#\# How OTEC Works 1.
