Our Mission

To unleash world's
third clean energy source


In the form of Ocean Current Energy
At a cost competitive price
Within five years.

Why Ocean Current Energy?

The oceans offer stable, reliable and predictable 24/7 clean baseload energy.

This is 16% of the global fossil fuel capacity in 2021




Ocean Current Energy is

Renewable

Ocean currents are caused by rotation of the earth and weather systems.

Stable

Baseload energy, by stable and predictable ocean currents.
24/7

Invisible

No visual impact,
everything takes place
under water.
