The event was attended by Minister of Climate and Environment Paulina Hennig-Kloska, Pomeranian Voivode Beata Rutkiewicz, Marshal of the Pomeranian Voivodeship Mieczysław Struk, Mayor of the City of Gdańsk Aleksandra Dulkiewicz, and representatives of the Government of Spain, as well as Members of the Management Board of the Industrial Development Agency and GRI Renewable Industries.
In 2023, Spain’s GRI Renewable Industries and the Polish Industrial Development Agency created a joint venture for the construction of a new offshore wind tower facility in Poland.
The factory is set to produce up to 150 wind tower sections annually, each measuring 50 metres in length, 11 metres in diameter, and weighing up to 500 tonnes.
Baltic Towers began production of the components at its facility located in the southern part of Ostrów Island in May of this year.
In terms of other recent news from Poland, Van Oord completed the installation of 5 out of 76 Vestas 15 MW turbines at Baltic Power, the country’s first offshore wind farm, in August.
The 1.2 GW project, jointly developed by Orlen and Canada’s Northland Power, is scheduled for commissioning in 2026.
Another offshore wind farm that reached a significant milestone last month is Baltica 2, owned by PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna and Ørsted. In August, Boskalis started boulder clearance work at the site, located approximately 40 kilometres off the Polish coast near Ustka.
