Signs first agreement with Luxcara

Ørsted A/S (Orsted) Ørsted to commercialise its state-of-the-art low-noise technology Osonic: Signs first agreement with Luxcara 14-Nov-2025 / 07:30 CET/CEST 14.11.2025 07:30:00 CET | Ørsted A/S | Investor News

Today, Ørsted announces the establishment of its new technology platform Osonic, having signed a preferred supplier agreement with leading German energy infrastructure asset manager Luxcara.

This is the first preferred supplier agreement for Osonic, Ørsted’s low-noise jetting-based monopile installation method, which also marks the first step towards commercial deployment of the technology. The installation method delivers a significant reduction in underwater noise, achieving levels just above the background noise in the German Bight, while also enabling cost savings. It is intended to be used for offshore wind turbine foundations across Luxcara’s offshore wind portfolio in Germany.

Osonic is a low-noise alternative to conventional pile-driving. The technology has been developed and matured by Ørsted over the past several years and was recently successfully deployed at Ørsted’s Gode Wind 3 Offshore Wind Farm in Germany, which entered into operation earlier this year.

With the creation of Osonic as a dedicated platform, Ørsted is moving the technology into a commercial phase, offering licensing of the technology and related services to third-party developers for European offshore wind projects. The creation of the Osonic platform aligns with Ørsted’s focused approach to capital allocation, as the technology will strengthen the value creation potential of future offshore wind projects and improve the competitiveness of offshore wind as an energy source.

Patrick Harnett, Executive Vice President and Chief Construction Officer at Ørsted, said:

“By reaching an agreement with Luxcara, we’re taking Osonic from concept to commercial offering, which demonstrates Ørsted’s strong track record of innovation as well as Osonic’s potential. We’re seeing increased interest from offshore wind developers across European key markets, and with this landmark agreement, we’re laying the groundwork for broader adoption.”
