PGE Baltica podpisała umowę na przeprowadzenie badań geofizycznych dla projektu MFW Baltica 9
PGE Baltica has signed a contract with Geofizyka Toruń S.A. to conduct geophysical surveys, including high-resolution reflection seismic with simultaneous bathymetric measurements for the Baltica 9 Offshore Wind Farm project. These surveys will enable a preliminary analysis of the potential of the surveyed area. These are the necessary steps for preparing this project for auction and the subsequent construction of the offshore power plant.
The surveyed area is located in the northern part of the Słupsk Shoal, less than 50 km from the coastline. Surveys at sea will begin in the first half of May and continue until mid-June 2025. Completion of the analytical works with the delivery of results is scheduled for November of this year.
The seismic method used will make it possible to accurately identify the subducted geological structure to a depth of 100 meters, as well as to identify geologically related risk factors, such as areas of shallow gas concentration, paleochannels, or packs of glacial till.
Geofizyka Toruń S.A. was selected in a procedure conducted in the form of open tender.
The Baltica 9 Offshore Wind Farm is a project located in one of the five areas allocated to PGE in 2023. It is to be built about 48 km from the shore in an area of about 121 km2, close to PGE's other offshore wind projects and the service port in Ustka under construction. The installed capacity of the plant is expected to be about 975 MW.
