Ocergy has secured investments from Moreld Ocean Wind (MOW) and Chevron Technology Ventures (CTV) for the commercialization of its sustainable offshore solutions.
The Series A round will fund Ocergy’s OCG-Wind Floating Offshore Wind Turbine (FOWT) technology and OCG-Data environmental monitoring buoy. Ocergy’s low-cost floating offshore wind turbine foundation has the potential to meet local supply chain and industrialization requirements with clear value, and the OCG-Data buoy technology enables integrated environmental data-gathering and support for biodiversity.
“With MOW onboard we gain a trusted partner who will be able to provide an EPCI solution for OCG-Wind, a key requirement for many of our clients. We are excited to have gained Chevron’s investment and look forward to potential opportunities for their guidance and expertise executing some of the most complex offshore projects in the world,” said Ocergy CEO Dominique Roddier.
