Subsea current energy · Baseload

The ocean never stops moving.

DepthVolt places bladeless vortex turbines in steady deep-sea currents and delivers clean electricity around the clock — for national grids, ports and island nations, at utility scale.

Why ocean currents

Renewable power without the gaps.

Sun sets, wind drops, tides turn. Deep ocean currents flow in one direction, day and night — so the energy they carry needs no battery bank to back it up.

Solar

Daylight only. Needs storage for evening peak.

Daytime generation

Wind

Weather-driven. Output swings hour to hour.

Variable

Tidal

Predictable, but drops to zero at every slack tide.

Cyclic, ~4 slack periods / day

DepthVolt currents

Steady one-way flow. Continuous generation, no battery storage.

Baseload · 24/7
Technology

No blades. Just a controlled vortex.

Current enters an enclosed housing, where a proprietary geometry turns straight-line flow into rotation. There are no exposed blades — the rotating core sits inside the structure.

01 / Intake

Ocean current enters

A shaped inlet captures the steady deep-sea flow and accelerates it into the chamber — no dependency on tides or waves.

02 / Induction

Vortex generation

Proprietary bladeless vortex induction converts linear flow into efficient rotation inside the enclosed core.

03 / Conversion

Direct-drive generator

Rotation drives the generator directly, without a gearbox, and power is exported to shore by subsea cable.

Kinetic power in a current rises with the cube of its speed. Figures are illustrative, scaled from the 250 kW rating at 1.2 m/s; site output is set by a resource survey.

Scale

From one turbine to a national grid.

A standard 250 kW unit groups into 1 MW clusters. Clusters repeat across a current corridor until the array matches the demand of a port, an island or a country.

Partnership model

No CAPEX.No OPEX.

We finance, build, operate and maintain every project. You buy the electricity — costs are covered through a monthly energy charge under a long-term power purchase agreement.

  1. 01

    Resource survey

    We map current speed, depth and seabed along your coastline and size the array to your demand.

  2. 02

    Local project company

    A dedicated project company is formed in your country to hold the assets and sign the PPA with the utility or government.

  3. 03

    Finance & build

    DepthVolt funds manufacturing, installation and grid connection. No capital from the buyer.

  4. 04

    Operate for 20+ years

    We run and maintain the field for its design life. You pay only for the energy delivered.

Who we work with

Built for buyers who plan in decades.

Governments & ministries

Energy security from a domestic, weather-independent resource — and a path off imported diesel.

  • Island nations
  • National grid programmes
  • Coastal development zones

Utilities & IPPs

Firm renewable capacity that behaves like baseload, contracted under a standard PPA.

  • Grid operators
  • Independent power producers
  • Renewable portfolio targets

Ports & industry

Power produced right next to the load, around the clock.

  • Ports & terminals
  • Desalination — up to 90% less diesel
  • Coastal industrial sites
Marine life

Designed to disappear into the sea.

The rotating core sits inside the housing, so marine life never meets an open blade. Low acoustic output keeps the site quiet.

0

Exposed moving blades

Low

Acoustic impact — quiet, continuous operation

0 kg

Fuel burned on site — zero-emission generation
