The developers of the Baltic Power offshore windfarm in the Polish sector of the Baltic have agreed contracts for key components, including the wind turbines, cables and onshore substation
The project is being developed jointly by Orlen Group and Northland Power, with construction expected to start in 2024 and commercial operation in 2026.
Baltic Power, a joint venture between PKN Orlen and Northland Power, said the windfarm will use 76 V236-15.0MW wind turbines supplied by Vestas.
A reservation contract has also been agreed for the design, manufacture and installation of the inter-array, offshore and onshore export cables.
NKT will be responsible for the design and manufacture of the offshore export cables. The inter-array cables and the onshore section of the export cables will be supplied by a Polish company, Tele-Fonika Kable, together with JDR Cable Systems. Tele-Fonika Kable will also be responsible for transporting and installing the onshore cables. The transport and installation of all of the offshore cables will be handled by DEME. Energy generated by the turbines will be transmitted to an onshore substation provided by FE and Enprom.
The Baltic Power windfarm will have a capacity of 1.2 GW and will be built 23 km from the coast at Choczewa and Leba.
Earlier in September 2022, Van Oord was selected as the preferred foundation installation contractor for the project.
In July 2022, Cadeler secured a reservation agreement with Baltic Power for the installation of the wind turbines.
Riviera Maritime Media has a comprehensive conference programme for the rest of 2022 and will provide free technical and operational webinars in 2023.
