Ørsted, PGE Launch Baltica 2 Offshore Wind Project Construction
Ørsted and PGE have taken the final investment decision on the Baltica 2 offshore wind project, marking its transition into the construction phase. The 1.5 GW wind farm, located in the Baltic Sea, is expected to be fully commissioned by the end of 2027.
The project will feature 107 Siemens Gamesa 14 MW-222 turbines, with installation assistance from the Port of Gdansk. EEE will supply 77 monopile foundations for the turbines and substations, while Steelwind Nordenham will deliver the remaining 34 wind turbine foundations. The vessel Olympic Electra has begun relocating boulders at the project site, a key stage in preparing for the construction phase and underwater infrastructure.
The boulder relocation campaign is expected to last around six months. Once completed, the Baltica 2 wind farm will significantly contribute to Poland's renewable energy targets.
With the final investment decision taken, the Baltica 2 offshore wind project is now in its construction phase. The project's progress, including boulder relocation and foundation delivery, is on track to meet its scheduled completion by the end of 2027.
