The first stage of seabed preparation in the Baltic Sea for cable installation has been completed for the Baltica 2 offshore wind farm, jointly developed by Ørsted and PGE. The BOKA Falcon vessel, operated by Boskalis, has prepared 150 km of routes for inter-array cables, which will connect the turbines to the offshore substations. The next stage will include laying out a 260-kilometre route for export cables.

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.
