The energy available due to the difference in the temperature of water at the surface of the ocean and at deeper levels is called ocean thermal energy.
The water at the surface of an ocean gets heated by the heat of the sun and attains a higher temperature than the colder water at deeper levels in the ocean. So there is temperature difference between the water at the surface of the ocean and at deeper levels.
Electricity is generated from this temperature difference.
