Apart from 100 turbines, the project will also feature the largest offshore substations in Poland, each with a capacity of 720 MW, as well as two onshore substations with an underground cable line totalling 14 kilometres in length, according to the joint venture partners.
The landfall will involve horizontal drilling beneath the beach near Ustka. The project will be connected to Poland’s national grid via the existing PSE Słupsk Wierzbięcino substation. The export cables will be delivered by Greece’s Hellenic Cables.
An operations and maintenance base will be developed by Equinor in Łeba, which will support the construction phase of both wind farms and serve as the hub for marine operations.
Scheduled for completion and full operation in 2028, Bałtyk 2 and Bałtyk 3 are expected to provide renewable energy to over two million Polish households.
“ The coming months and years will be a period of intensified and close collaboration with our partners, at the core of which are numerous Polish companies and institutions. Together, we will strive for the safe and effective construction and operation of the Bałtyk 2 and 3 wind farms ,” said Michał Jerzy Kołodziejczyk .
