PREPA has announced that it is reviewing an OTEC proposal and perhaps will be making an announcement soon. However, the first large unit will take around 5 years to become operational. I know about the maintainance issues in Puerto Rico but I overcame them in a small chemical plant that I build during the 1970's. Also, all the pharmaceutical plants are well maintained as are may other facilities and buildings.

The units are more expensive than conventional but have no fuel cost. Each 100 MW unit would save 1.3 million barrels of oil each year and has a useful life of over 30 years. The 800 million kWh is over the course of a year.

question: there are any other areas in Puerto Rico were this plant can be built? did you recommended the construction in 100 mw plant or bigger? how much percentage will this plant replace of the actual kw on the hole island?

I used to live in Patillas right next to the deep water drop off. We built a small factory which can still be seen on Google Earth just West of Punta Mala Pascua.

sounds like Puerto Rico would be taken care of, no problem. What about the rest of the world? Also, what's the cost of building and maintaining the platform?

This has vast potential throughout the tropics between about 20 degrees north and 20 degrees south latitud. The Pacific and Indian Oceans are also great locations.
