What Ocergy does
Ocergy is a private floating offshore wind technology company founded in late 2019 and headquartered in Oakland, California, with European operations managed through its subsidiary Ocergie, SAS in Marseille and Aix-en-Provence, France. The company was founded by Dominique Roddier (CEO), Christian Cermelli (COO), and Alexia Aubault (CTO), who together previously invented and developed the WindFloat floating offshore wind technology that received the 2020 ASME Sperry Award. Ocergy sells two core products: OCG-Wind, a steel semi-submersible floating turbine foundation using a four-column central-column design with a proprietary tensigrity (pre-stressed tubular tendon) structure optimized for the 15-22 MW turbine class and designed for industrial-scale serial production; and OCG-Data, an autonomous zero-emission environmental monitoring buoy equipped with LiDAR, radar, sonar, acoustic, video, and meteorological sensors feeding an integrated SCADA system, deployed in the Mediterranean since early 2023 under the ADEME-funded BLUE ORACLE project.
The company operates a primarily B2B, enterprise sales motion targeting offshore wind developers and energy majors globally, monetizing through a mix of technology licensing and FEED contracts on OCG-Wind (e.g., TotalEnergies, EnBW, Kyuden Mirai Energy, TEPCO Renewable Power), direct hardware sales of OCG-Data monitoring buoys, and EPCI project execution delivered via its strategic partnership with Moreld Ocean Wind. Pricing is custom and project-based with no public disclosure, and the company has engaged with over a dozen major offshore wind developers worldwide. It has secured quality certifications aligned with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 (held directly by its EPCI partner Moreld Ocean Wind), obtained Bureau Veritas Approval in Principle for OCG-Wind in January 2022, and won a US Department of Energy FLOWIN Prize in April 2023. The company has completed a Series A (April 2021, with Moreld Ocean Wind and Chevron Technology Ventures) and a Series B (April 2024, with Octopus Energy Generation joining as new shareholder) and operates with a distributed team of 30+ employees across the US and Europe.

Revenue model
- Floating Wind Foundation Technology (OCG-Wind): Ocergy licenses its floating wind turbine foundation technology and provides engineering services for commercial floating offshore wind projects. Revenue is generated through technology licensing, FEED contracts, and potentially direct product sales of foundations.
- Environmental Monitoring Systems (OCG-Data): Sale and deployment of OCG-Data environmental monitoring buoys for offshore wind site assessment, biodiversity monitoring, and metocean data collection. The BLUE ORACLE project demonstrates this capability.
- EPCI Services via Moreld Partnership: Through the partnership with Moreld Ocean Wind, Ocergy provides EPCI (Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation) solutions for its floating wind technology, generating revenue through project execution.

Ocergy product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Ocergy develops and commercializes two sustainable offshore solutions: OCG-Wind, a lightweight steel semi-submersible floating foundation for offshore wind turbines optimized for 15–22 MW machines and modular industrial manufacturing; and OCG-Data, an autonomous environmental monitoring buoy that provides metocean, biodiversity, and wind measurement data for offshore wind site assessment and permitting. Both products target offshore wind developers, energy companies, and oil & gas operators.
Product overview
Ocergy develops two distinct sustainable offshore solutions: OCG-Wind (floating offshore wind turbine platforms) and OCG-Data (environmental monitoring buoys). OCG-Wind is a steel semi-submersible floating foundation designed for serial production with modular construction, targeting the 15-22 MW turbine range to minimize LCOE. OCG-Data is an autonomous environmental monitoring buoy that provides comprehensive offshore site characterization including metocean data collection and biodiversity monitoring. The two products serve different but complementary needs in the offshore wind development lifecycle: OCG-Data supports site assessment and environmental compliance, while OCG-Wind provides the foundation for turbine installation.

Products and services
- OCG-Wind A floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) platform designed for serial production and optimized performance. The steel semi-submersible structure features a central column design with modular construction enabling components to be manufactured globally and assembled near project sites. Optimized for the 15–22 MW turbine range to reduce Levelized Cost of Energy, with a tensigrity tendon structure, lightweight steel construction, and capability for at least one turbine installation per week.
- OCG-Data A zero-emission environmental monitoring buoy providing autonomous offshore site assessment. The platform collects metocean conditions, biodiversity data (marine life, birds, bats), and transmits real-time data via an integrated SCADA system. Integrates LiDAR, video, radar, sonar, acoustic monitoring, and meteorological sensors with neural-network-based computer vision for species recognition. Designed to achieve ultra-low motion performance enabling floating LiDAR observations with land-equivalent accuracy. Partly funded by ADEME through the BLUE ORACLE project.

Ocergy competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Principle Power: Principle Power developed the WindFloat semi-submersible floating wind foundation—the very technology Ocergy's founders originally invented. Direct competitor targeting the same floating wind developer customers and similar deep-water geographies.
- BW Ideol: BW Ideol developed a barge-based floating wind foundation competing in the same floater technology space as OCG-Wind. Targets the same offshore wind developer segment with multiple demonstrators deployed in France and Japan.
- SBM Offshore: SBM Offshore developed a concrete semi-submersible floating wind foundation concept leveraging its offshore production floater expertise. Direct competitor in the floater design category, particularly for utility-scale floating wind projects.
Broad incumbents
- Aker Solutions: Aker Solutions is a broad offshore engineering incumbent developing floating wind substructure concepts (including the Concrete Wind Semi-submersible) and providing EPCI services. Competes in the floater design space as part of a much wider offshore portfolio.
- Equinor: Equinor developed the Hywind spar floating wind concept and operates Hywind Scotland and Hywind Tampen. While primarily an oil & gas major and offshore wind developer, Equinor is a technology incumbent in floating wind with multiple operational demonstrators.
- Saipem: Saipem is a large EPCI incumbent that has developed the Hexafloat semi-submersible floating wind concept and offers offshore wind project execution services. Competes with Ocergy's floater design and through its EPCI parent offering competes with Moreld Ocean Wind partnership.
Emerging players
- Hexicon: Hexicon is developing TwinWind, a multi-turbine semi-submersible floating foundation concept. Earlier-stage competitor with overlapping developer customers and similar deep-water geographies (Scotland, Norway).
- Copenhagen Energy: Copenhagen Energy is developing the Freja floating offshore wind project in the Danish North Sea using BW Ideol's floater technology. Emerges as an offshore wind developer rather than a technology supplier, but is part of the same value chain Ocergy serves.
- Nervión Naval-Architects (Nervion): Nervión is a Spanish naval architecture firm that developed the NAUTILUS floating wind semi-submersible design. Smaller emerging player in the floating wind substructure space targeting European developers.
Others
- Vestas: Vestas supplies the V112 turbine for Ocergy's Culzean pilot and is the OEM partner for OCG-Wind integration. Not a direct competitor but a critical ecosystem partner for floating wind commercialization.
