The Baltic Power offshore wind farm project, a joint venture of Poland’s Orlen Group and Canada’s Northland Power, has awarded a contract to a consortium consisting of Bladt Industries and Semco Maritime for the two offshore substations for the 1.2 GW wind farm in Polish waters after naming the consortium a preferred supplier back in September 2022.
The duo has together with their primary sub-contractor, ISC Consulting Engineers, already completed most of the engineering scope, both for the substations as well as for the monopiles and transition pieces, which will also be supplied by Bladt Industries.
The two substations will be constructed and established in the coming years, with final commissioning planned for early 2026, as key components of the electrical infrastructure for the Baltic Power offshore wind farm consisting of 76 wind turbine generators, each with a generating capacity of 15 MW. Each substation will be a 2.5 thousand-tonne steel structure standing on foundations and rising about 20 meters above the sea level.
Following the contract signing, the consortium supported by ISC Consulting Engineers, will proceed with the detailed design, procurement, construction, and commissioning of the two offshore substations. The project is planned for offshore installation in 2025.
The Baltic Power wind farm will be erected some 23 km off the shore, near Łeba and Choczewo and when completed, be able to supply more than 1.5m Polish households with clean power.
