Equinor has completed the acquisition of a site at the port of Leba to serve as the operations and maintenance (O&M) base for the Polish Baltic Sea offshore wind projects.
Equinor will construct, own and operate the base, which will support the Bałtyk offshore wind projects of Equinor and partner Polenergia and could also support additional activities in the future. Equinor and Polenergia are currently jointly developing the Bałtyk I, Bałtyk II and Bałtyk III offshore wind projects. Bałtyk II and Bałtyk III, with a combined potential capacity of 1440 MW, were awarded contracts for difference (CfD) by Poland’s Energy Regulatory Office on May 4, 2021.
The planned O&M base would serve as the logistics hub for the Bałtyk projects, with an office, storage, and transportation facilities. The proximity of Leba to the Bałtyk offshore wind farm areas will contribute to optimizing safety and operation costs.
