Monopile Foundations Installed for 1.2 GW Offshore Wind Farm in the UK

Van Oord has reached a significant milestone in the development of Baltic Power offshore wind energy in Poland. 

The company has successfully transported and installed all monopile foundations and transition pieces for Poland’s first-ever offshore wind farm: Baltic Power. Co-developed by ORLEN and Northland Power, the 1.2 GW Baltic Power project that will deliver renewable energy to more than 1.5 million Polish households.

The wind farm will feature the new generation of 15 MW wind turbines. Van Oord was responsible for the transport and installation of all 78 monopile foundations and 76 transition pieces, managing all activities in close coordination with the client to ensure safe and efficient execution. It features 76 V236-15.0 MW turbines, which produce up to 80 GWh/year and displace more than 38,000 tonnes of CO2, which is the equivalent of removing 25,000 passenger cars from the road every year.
