New Energy for Martinique and Overseas NEMO
NEMO (New Energy for Martinique and Overseas) projects was conceptualized as a floating ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) plant off the west coast of Martinique, France. Located 7 kilometers off the west coast of the island, this offshore OTEC plant was expected to produce a nominal installed capacity of 16 MW with a maximum available capacity of 10.7 MW. The net generated power was planned to be exported to the Martinique electrical grid via a subsea cable and a substation at an existing conventional fossil fuel power plant and was expected to fuel no less than 35,000 households.
- Planned: Project has identified a deployment location and is preparing for deployment
- Operational: Project is deployed in the water and is active
- Completed: Project was previously deployed in the water
- Decommissioned: Installation has been fully removed in accordance with regulations
- Canceled: Project was canceled before being deployed in the water
- Thermal Gradient
- Open Ocean: Main body of ocean, not enclosed or partially enclosed by land
- Coastal: Open water near the coast, spanning between land and shelf boundary
- Enclosed Bay: water that is partially surrounded by land, with a mouth open to larger water
- Constricted Channel: A channel where water flows quickly due to narrowing by the land
- River: Water flowing from land towards a larger body of water
