Equinor and Polenergia have selected Siemens Gamesa as their wind turbine supplier for the Bałtyk II and Bałtyk III offshore wind farms located in the Baltic Sea, Poland. The facilities situated 81 km (50 miles) from the port of Leba, have a cumulative capacity of 1440 MW, producing electricity for around two million Polish homes.
The contract involves the design, supply, installation, commissioning and maintenance of 100 of Siemens Gamesa’s SG 14-236 DD turbines each having a capacity of 14.4 MW. One revolution of the wind turbine’s rotor will produce clean energy covering the electricity needs of one Polish household for four days.
In the second phase of the development of the Polish offshore wind sector, Equinor and Polenergia are also implementing the Bałtyk I project. An offshore wind farm with a capacity of up to 1,560 MW will be located approximately 80 km from the coast near Łeba. All three Bałtyk wind farms will have a total capacity of up to 3 GW, providing green energy to over four million households.
