The two companies, ENGIE and EDP Renovvis have declared the development of Ocean Winds (OW), a joint venture which will be regulated equally by both the companies in the floating and fixed offshore wind energy regions.
The new developed company Ocean Winds will work as a unique enterprise to cover marine wind energy market globally and will come among one of the top five leading offshore global operators. This will be by combining industrial as well as the growth potential of both parent companies.
To integrate knowledge and experience of two different companies, ocean Winds is developed. By this, the production of renewable energy will show profitable growth under a single firm, and it will take a leading position, explained Spire Martinis, CEO of Ocean Winds.
We share an approach to the important role of renewables in general and offshore in general in new energy models. Building a company combining the experience and resources of both will allow us to lead a field in this increasingly real and necessary transition. "

Grzegorz Gorski, OW COO said: “We are constantly monitoring the development and regulation of many countries. We want to grow not only in markets where we already exist but also to explore value-adding opportunities in new countries.
OW has more than 200 employees and expects to reach 300 by the end of the year. This notable human team will represent more than 15 different nationalities, including highly qualified employees, nearly a third of them women and 99% with fixed employment contracts.
The first brand created using the sound of wind on the high seas
The origins of the OW brand are no coincidence. When ENGIE and EDPR were looking for a name for the new business, they brought in a team of scientists who could help identify the sound of wind in the Roman alphabet. They developed a specific algorithm and equipment that recorded the sound of air offshore over a period of 48 hours. The two commonly occurring letters were ing O 'and, W', thus giving it the name Ocean Winds.
