Ørsted and PGE sign key contracts for the Baltica Offshore Wind Farm

PGE and Ørsted joint venture has signed contracts with Navantia-Windar and Orient Cable (NBO) for delivery of foundations and array cables for Baltica 2, which is the first stage of the Baltic Offshore Wind Farm.
In April, PGE and Ørsted reached an important milestone for their 1.5 GW Baltica 2 offshore wind farm by signing the project’s first major component contract with wind turbine manufacturer Siemens Gamesa. The next step in June was contracting the offshore substations. Today, the joint venture announces the signing of the next two strategic supply chain contracts for Baltica 2: Navantia-Windar will be supplying monopile foundations, the largest exceeding 100 meters and weighing over 2,000 tons, while Orient Cable (NBO) will be delivering 170 kilometers of 66 kV subsea array cables that will be connecting the wind turbines to the offshore substations.
Subject to final investment decisions, Ørsted and PGE Baltica expect to complete the construction of Baltica 2 (1.5 GW) by the end of 2027, while Baltica 3 (1 GW) is expected to be fully operational no later than by the end of 2029. With a joint capacity of 2.5 GW the Baltica 2 and Baltica 3 will create the Baltica Offshore Wind Farm. It will contribute significantly to Poland’s green energy transition, delivering clean energy for nearly four million households in Poland.
