The ?eba base features a wharf with two cranes, capacity for three to four crew transfer vessels (CTVs), a high-storage warehouse for equipment and spare parts, and workshops for service crews. The Marine Coordination Centre, operational since the construction phase, runs 24/7 to manage activities. Jens Poulsen, Project Director and Board Member of Baltic Power, stated: “We had to adapt an existing quay and promenade, traditionally used by residents and tourists, into a functional offshore wind support hub. Around 200 micro piles were installed, and the wharf was deepened by approximately one meter to accommodate up to four CTVs.”
In recent weeks, the base has been equipped for daily operations, with Vestas, the Danish turbine supplier, tasked with servicing the wind farm’s turbines in the coming years. Technicians and service personnel are set to begin working from the facility later in 2025. The base supports ongoing offshore construction, which started in January 2025, approximately 23 kilometers off Poland’s coast.
Current offshore activities include installing monopiles and transition pieces for the wind farm’s foundations. The installation of 76 Vestas 15 MW turbines and offshore cables is scheduled to start soon. Onshore, cable routes and a substation in the Choczewo commune are progressing as planned. Baltic Power secured a final investment decision and financing from 25 international institutions in 2023, with operations expected to commence in late 2026, supplying renewable energy to over 1.5 million Polish households.
This initiative marks a significant step in advancing Poland’s renewable energy infrastructure, leveraging the ?eba base to ensure efficient operations and maintenance for the Baltic Power wind farm, contributing to sustainable energy production.
