PKN Orlen has entered a deal to lease a site on which a base will be built for the service operation vessels to maintain around 70 wind turbines for the 1.2 GW offshore wind project in Poland.
On signing the lease, the company has secured an area of approximately 1.1 ha, where the service base for the wind farm will be constructed. It is expected to permanently operate at least two crew transfer vessels (CTVs), each capable of taking on board up to 24 technicians with the necessary equipment. The project in Łeba is scheduled to be carried out in 2023–2025, at an estimated cost of PLN20-30 million (~US$6.7 million). The front-end loading documentation is being developed by Antea Polska, which has prepared, among other things, a functional space allocation program for the base. In addition, Antea is supporting the Baltic Power project in the process of drafting tender documentation for the design and construction of the base.
The 1.2 GW Baltic Power offshore wind farm is a joint project of the ORLEN Group and Northland Power. The site of the project is located about 23 km north of the Baltic coastline, near Łeba and Choczewo.
