DEME secures foundation and cable installation contracts for 390 MW offshore wind farm in Poland

DEME has won the three contracts for the installation of monopile foundations, inter-array cables, and the export cable at the 390 MW BC-Wind offshore wind farm in Poland.

BC-Wind, developed by international offshore wind company Ocean Winds, a 50-50 joint venture between EDP Renewables and ENGIE, is located approximately 23 km off the Polish Baltic Sea coast. With a planned capacity of up to 390 MW, the wind farm will generate clean electricity for around 500,000 households per year. DEME will deploy its offshore installation vessel Orion to install 27 monopile foundations: 26 monopiles for the wind turbines and 1 foundation for the offshore substation (OSS). Equipped with a motion-compensated pile gripper, a 5,000-ton crane and advanced ballasting systems, Orion is designed to handle the largest foundations with precision and efficiency, even in challenging conditions. The inter-array and export cable contracts cover the full scope from engineering through to installation. The export cable contract will be carried out in a consortium with Hellenic Cables. DEME will deploy its cable installation vessels Living Stone and Viking Neptun for the works. With financial close completed, installation works are scheduled for 2027 and 2028. 

DEME’s expertise in foundation and cable installation will be key to delivering this 390 MW offshore wind farm safely, efficiently, and on schedule, supporting Poland’s energy transition.
