SAP sued by o9 Solutions over alleged trade secret theft
COPENHAGEN - Danish renewable energy company Ørsted announced Friday it has established a new technology platform called Osonic and signed its first preferred supplier agreement with German energy infrastructure asset manager Luxcara.
The agreement marks the first commercial deployment of Ørsted's jetting-based monopile installation method for offshore wind turbine foundations, which will be used across Luxcara's offshore wind portfolio in Germany.
Osonic technology provides an alternative to conventional pile-driving, reducing underwater noise levels by 99% compared to commonly used installation methods, according to the company. The noise levels achieved are just marginally above the ambient noise found in the German Bight in the North Sea.
The technology was recently deployed at Ørsted's Gode Wind 3 Offshore Wind Farm in Germany, which began operations earlier this year.
Under the agreement, Ørsted will license the technology and serve as an engineering, procurement, and construction consultant to Luxcara for its deployment.
"By reaching an agreement with Luxcara, we're taking Osonic from concept to commercial offering," said Patrick Harnett, Executive Vice President and Chief Construction Officer at Ørsted. "We're seeing increased interest from offshore wind developers across European key markets."
Holger Matthiesen, Director of Offshore Wind & Green Hydrogen at Luxcara, cited the technology's proven performance as a decisive factor in their decision.
The Osonic technology received the German Sustainability Award in the product category in October 2025.
Ørsted stated that the commercialization of this technology aligns with its capital allocation approach and will strengthen the value creation potential of future offshore wind projects.
