A joint-venture of PGE and Ørsted developing the Baltica 2 offshore wind farm has selected the company responsible for commissioning of the onshore transformer station located in the Choczewo municipality in Pomerania. The task will be performed by the Polish company Enprom.

As a result of the first-ever auction for offshore wind farms in Poland, PGE’s Baltica 9  received a two-sided Contract for Difference (CfD). At the same time PGE signed  a conditional agreement with RWE for the sale of RWE Offshore Wind Poland sp. z o.o., which holds the FEW Baltic II project with a capacity of approximately 350 MW, located next to Baltica 9. This will create an offshore wind farm with a total capacity of approximately 1.3 GW, under the working title Baltica 9+, which will facilitate the PGE Group in achieving its strategic goal for the offshore wind energy segment.

The delivery of four transformers and other high-voltage power equipment necessary for power transfer to the Polish national grid has been completed at the construction site of the onshore transformer station for the Baltica 2 offshore wind farm. For the investors – PGE and Ørsted – this represents a significant milestone in the advancement of work on the construction of the onshore connection infrastructure necessary for the operation of the offshore wind farm.
