Under the contracts, Ramboll will provide engineering services for 100 monopiles for the Ba?tyk II and Ba?tyk III projects.
“Thanks to the signed agreement, we are approaching the moment of making the final investment decision and implementing the Ba?tyk II and Ba?tyk III projects. Our wind farms, as one of the first in the Baltic Sea, will significantly contribute to increasing Poland’s energy security,” said Micha? Jerzy Ko?odziejczyk, President of the Management Board of Equinor in Poland.
In February, the developers signed the final contracts with Netherlands-headquartered Sif for the supply of 100 monopiles. The manufacturing is planned to commence in the second quarter of 2025 with completion in 2026.
That same month, Equinor and Polenergia also finalised contracts for the delivery of 100 Siemens Gamesa SG 14-236 DD wind turbines.
“The construction and launch of our wind farms in the Baltic Sea are fast approaching,” said Jerzy Zań, President of the Management Board of Polenergia SA.
“Our offshore projects are some of the largest wind farms being built in this part of Europe. Only the Ba?tyk II and Ba?tyk III projects will supply over 2 million households with green energy. This means a huge acceleration of the energy transformation, and thus – huge support for the Polish economy.”
Located approximately 22 to 37 kilometres from the coastline near Ustka and ?eba, the Ba?tyk II and Ba?tyk III offshore wind farms will have a total capacity of 1,440 MW.
The projects are expected to produce first power as early as 2027 while the commercial stage is planned a year later.
In addition to Ba?tyk II and Ba?tyk III, Equinor and Polenergia are developing the Ba?tyk I project, an offshore wind farm that will have a capacity of up to 1,560 MW.
