The Official Kickoff of the RECORD15 Project
June 23rd, 2025 – Ocergy, Inc. is pleased to announce the official start of the Reduced Commercial Risks with Demo of 15+ MW (RECORD15) Joint Industry project, which aims to install a latest generation turbine with rated power over 15 MW on an OCG-Wind™ floater in 2028.
The FEED contract for this pilot project was recently signed between Ocergy and three offshore wind developers of international reach: EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG, Kyuden Mirai Energy Company and TEPCO Renewable Power.
Ocergy’s platform, the turbine agnostic OCG-Wind, is an innovative modular design supporting an optimized assembly process from pre-fabricated steel sub-assemblies, allowing serial production using today’s existing supply chain and infrastructure. The tower will be designed using a stiff-stiff approach, effectively addressing one of the foremost technical challenges in deploying next-generation large turbines on floating foundations.
By proving industrialized fabrication, rapid assembly and WTG integration and safe operation of the next generation of large WTG, RECORD15 removes the final technical and financial barriers ahead of Europe’s multiple pre-commercial projects to be installed around the turn of the decade and the subsequent multi-GW pipelines in Europe and Asia. The project thus acts as an essential springboard for commercial deployment, solidifying a robust supply chain and accelerated decarbonisation of the power sector.
Over the years currently planned for the operational phase, the unit will be generating operational data used to optimize maintenance plans for future commercial farms, while informing bankability models for commercial arrays. Third-party certification will be sought to de-risk this pilot and future commercial endeavors.

About Ocergy:
At the crossroads between green energy generation and marine environmental restoration, Ocergy develops sustainable offshore solutions that contribute to solving climate change by reducing our carbon footprint while enabling the harvesting of renewable energies and protecting biodiversity. The first OCG-Data™ was deployed in the Mediterranean Sea in 2023 through the ADEME-funded BLUE ORACLE project, and a 3MW version of the OCG-Wind™ is planned to be deployed and connected to the TotalEnergies’s Culzean platform offshore Aberdeen later this fall.
Ocergy, INC is headquartered in California and is running the RECORD15 project using resources from both the US office and from Ocergie, SAS; its French subsidiary. For more information, please visit http://www.ocergy.com
