The side event is being organised by Government of São Tomé and Príncipe, the Small Island Sustainable Energy and Climate Resilience Organisation (SIDS DOCK), the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and Global OTEC under the umbrella of the Global Ocean Energy Alliance (GLOE), launched on the margins of the United Nations Ocean Conference in 2022 in Lisbon, Portugal.  

The event will highlight the opportunities, which Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) offer for the green and blue economy aspirations of São Tomé and Príncipe, a small island developing state (SIDS) and least developed country (LDC) at the coast of Central Africa. The event will inform interested investors and financers on the status of the 1.5 MW floating OTEC platform “Domonique” currently under development at the shore of São Tomé and the existing market potential for other projects in SIDS in Africa, Pacific, Indian Ocean and Caribbean.
