Apex Tidal Power
A concentrated flow of water is naturally drawn through the narrow side of our Venturi housing, with extra water flowing to the sides. A low pressure zone is thus created behind the Venturi that accelerates the water flow across the turbine.
Problem
The Cost of Clean
• Carbon emissions are choking our planet.
• Clean power is expensive and unreliable.
Solution
Focus the Flow
• By focusing the flow of water, our turbines harness over 3 times the power of freestanding turbines.
• Capturing power from tidal currents, we generate reliable electricity competitive with carbon sources.
Competition
Banking on Basics
• Virtually all of our competitors deploy turbines in free flowing water with no focusing mechanism. As a result, over 3/4 of the kinetic energy in the water flows around these turbines uncaptured.
• We generate power for less than 1/3 the cost of our competitors.
Underlying Magic
Wings in Water
• Wing shaped structures slice through the water, channeling and accelerating the flow of power across our turbines.
Business Model
Premium Projects
• We seek to develop projects that deliver premium power at a premium price.
• Faster currents hold exponentially more power.
• Key utilities are paying high rates for tidal energy.
Marketing and Sales
Permits and PPAs
Once funded, we have access to• Permits on crown seabed rights• Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)
that pay generous, long term rates on the power we generate
Status and Timeline
Patents and Pathways
• Our design has received broad and deep patent protection.
• Capturing substantially more power than our competitors from the same tidal current delivers heftier profit margins.
• For the cost of deploying a demo of another design, we can deploy a profit-generating array of our turbines.
Projections
Fortune in Five
• Scotland boasts fast flows and high rates for tidal power.
• With equity, debt, and grants, we plan to ramp up turbine deployment to 30 MW over 3 years.
• We expect to be cash flow positive in Year 1 and show a net profit by Year 3.
Opportunity
Surging Scotland
• With access to prime seabed rights in Scotland, we plan to deploy the world’s largest tidal array, capitalizing on a fivefold premium paid for tidal.
• For investors, we promise a share of profits yielding robust annualized returns over 10 years.
