Our mission

Three challenges. One offshore platform.

The climate transition depends on solving electricity, storage and water — at a cost the world can afford. HWE is engineering the marine infrastructure to do all three from a single floating asset.

Mission target
1Gt

Reducing global carbon emissions by 1 billion tonnes of CO₂ equivalent per year.

Why it matters

A single gigatonne is meaningful at planetary scale.

0%Global GHG emissions · ~50 Gt CO₂e / yr100%
2% of total global greenhouse gas emissions annually from all sectors.

Dispatchable clean power

AI-enabled deep-offshore wind that converts wind up to 40 m/s into mechanical lift and delivers stable, dispatchable 24/7 electricity — the missing piece between renewables and a fully-decarbonised grid.

OceanHydro Omni · 1 MW pilot

Mechanical energy storage

Each platform lifts and releases a submerged mass to store and dispatch energy on demand — pumped-hydro economics, no land, no rare-earth chemistry, hours to days of duration built into the structure itself.

Embedded in every Omni unit

Affordable freshwater

SubSea RO Wind is an AI-enabled offshore desalination system that couples wind energy directly to subsea reverse-osmosis, targeting water below $0.10 per cubic metre — a new world record for cost per cubic metre.

Product 01 · OceanHydro Omni

AI-enabled deep-sea offshore wind, with mechanical energy storage built in.

Stable, dispatchable 24/7 renewable power in the deep sea — at lower cost than any other generation technology.

OceanHydro Omni is an AI-enabled deep-sea offshore wind energy system that uses wind power for mechanical lift rather than direct electricity generation. By lifting and releasing a submerged mass, it provides built-in mechanical energy storage — capturing the strongest offshore winds of up to 40 m/s and delivering stable, dispatchable 24/7 renewable power in deep-sea environments where conventional turbines cannot operate.

The AI energy crunch

The AI revolution runs on electricity — far more than the grid can spare.

Training and running frontier AI is driving the steepest surge in electricity demand in a generation. Data centres are already straining grids, delaying retirements of fossil plants, and competing with homes and industry for power. The constraint on AI is no longer chips — it is clean, firm, dispatchable energy at scale. That is exactly what OceanHydro Omni is built to deliver.

~945TWh
Projected global data-centre electricity demand by 2030 — more than double 2024 levels (IEA)
Product 02 · SubSea RO Wind

AI-enabled desalination, at a new world-record cost.

Below $0.10 per cubic metre — at scale, offshore, off-grid.

SubSea RO Wind is an AI-enabled offshore desalination system that couples wind energy directly to subsea reverse-osmosis modules, eliminating the cost layers that make conventional desalination prohibitive for water-stressed regions. Adaptive control matches RO throughput to live wind conditions in real time — supplying desalinated water at a lower cost than any other technology operating today.

Integrated system · The convergence

The offshore AI power plant.

The same platform that solves clean power and water also answers AI's energy crunch. HWE combines OceanHydro Omni, floating data centres, and SubSea RO Wind into a single off-grid, off-land facility — powering, cooling, and hydrating AI compute at the source.

Power

Dispatchable clean electricity.

OceanHydro Omni delivers firm, AI-enabled 24/7 renewable power with built-in mechanical storage — enough to run compute that land grids can no longer spare.

OceanHydro Omni
Cooling

Free cooling from the deep sea.

Floating data centres are cooled by seawater heat exchangers that draw on the deep ocean's ambient temperature — eliminating the single largest energy and water cost of land-based data centres.

Floating data centres
Water

Desalinated water on tap.

SubSea RO Wind turns the surrounding seawater into low-cost freshwater — for the facility, for industrial use, and for the water-stressed regions nearby.

SubSea RO Wind
3 → 1

One offshore platform that powers, cools, and hydrates AI compute. Off-grid. Off-land. Carbon-free. Built where the wind is strongest and the water is coldest.

Subscribe in minutes, complete the standard KYC, and follow the build through investor updates and Reg A+ ongoing reporting.

Common questions

Quick answers about Reg A+ and the HWE community round.

Who can invest in a Reg A+ offering?

Any U.S. investor can participate — accredited or not — subject to per-investor limits set by the SEC. Non-accredited investors are limited to the greater of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per offering. International investors can participate where local regulations allow.

What is the minimum investment?

Reg A+ offerings typically set a minimum ticket between $100 and $500. The final minimum for the HWE round will be specified in the offering circular qualified by the SEC. The intent is to keep entry accessible while remaining administratively viable.

When does the round open?

The round opens after the SEC qualifies HWE's Form 1-A filing. We are currently in the “testing the waters” stage, gauging demand from the community. We will notify everyone on the list before the offering goes live.

Where will the offering be hosted?

The offering will be hosted on a regulated funding portal authorised to facilitate Reg A+ transactions. The platform handles KYC, payments, and investor records. Details will be confirmed in the offering circular and confirmed on our website.

Will this dilute existing investors?

The community round is structured to be additive to HWE's existing capital structure, with terms aligned to those agreed with our existing backers. Pro-forma capitalisation, share class, and rights will be detailed in the offering circular.

What do investors actually receive?

Investors purchase securities in Hydro Wind Energy, Inc. as specified in the offering circular — typically common or preferred equity. Ownership is recorded on HWE's cap table via the regulated funding portal. Reg A+ issuers are subject to ongoing reporting obligations to the SEC and to investors.

What is Reg A+?

Reg A+ is the U.S. framework for capital raises open to the public.

Tier 2 of Regulation A under the Securities Act of 1933 lets U.S. and international companies raise up to $75 million per twelve-month period from any investor — not just accredited ones. Offerings are qualified by the SEC, made via an offering circular, and subject to ongoing reporting obligations to both the SEC and investors.

Companies that have used Reg A+ include consumer-tech and climate-tech businesses previously closed to retail capital. For HWE it is the right instrument: it gives the people most affected by climate change the chance to own a piece of the infrastructure we are building to address it.

Reserve your place

Sign up for the Reg A+ community round.

No money or other consideration is being solicited; if sent, it will not be accepted. No offer to buy securities may be accepted, and no part of the purchase price may be received, until the offering statement is qualified by the SEC. Any indication of interest involves no obligation or commitment of any kind.
