ORLEN has announced that five turbines, each with a capacity of 15 MW, have already been installed for the 1.2 GW Baltic Power Offshore wind farm in an area of approximately 131 km2, located about 23 km north of the Baltic coastline, near Łeba and Choczewo in Poland.
The first Polish offshore wind farm, jointly developed by ORLEN and Northland Power, can provide enough power to charge nearly 18,000 electric vehicles when operational.
The installation of each turbine at sea is preceded by the deployment of monopile foundations and transition pieces – a stage of the project that is now nearing its halfway point. Next, work will begin on laying subsea inter-array and export cables, followed by the installation of offshore substations in the autumn. Offshore installation works are expected to be completed next year. The subsequent stages will include testing and obtaining the necessary certifications and permits.
Ocean Winds has signed contracts for the supply of wind turbines and a service maintenance agreement for its 400 MW BC-Wind project.
