PGE and Ørsted select suppliers of offshore substations for Baltica 2

“The signing the contract for offshore power stations is an important milestone for the project which brings us closer to delivering Poland’s largest ever renewable energy project – an offshore wind farm that will produce enough green energy to cover the power consumption of approximately 2.4 million Polish households. We are pleased to entrust the consortium SEMCO Maritime and PTSC Mechanical & Construction with the design, manufacturing and commissioning of power stations for the first stage of the Baltica offshore wind farm,” added Agata Staniewska-Bolesta, Managing Director of Ørsted Offshore Poland.

PGE and Ørsted expect to commission Baltica 2 (1.5 GW) by the end of 2027 and Baltica 3 (1 GW) by the end of 2029. Location decisions (PSzW) and environmental decisions have already been issued for both stages. Applicable contracts with the transmission system operator, pertaining to the connection to the network, as well as laying and maintaining the cables (PUUK) have been signed as well. The projects have received contracts for difference (CfD), and the decisions on the individual level of support have already been issued by the European Commission and the President of the Polish Energy Regulatory Office.
