PGE and Orsted have contracted vessels to install the second part of the wind turbines for Baltica 2 project - one of the two phases of the Baltica Offshore Wind Farm. The company has finalised all contracts necessary. The second batch of turbines will be installed by Cadeler.

At the beginning of January, the contract to install the first batch of turbines was awarded to Norwegian Fred. Olsen Windcarrier. Cadeler is a leading global contractor for the construction, maintenance and dismantling of offshore wind farms. Originally from Denmark, the company has specialised in turbine installation for offshore projects for more than 15 years.

PGE and Orsted have already contracted all the necessary components for the Baltica 2 offshore wind farm and have signed contracts for the installation of foundations, turbines and cables. The partners have selected a general contractor for the onshore connection infrastructure, and the final step before construction begins will be for the investors to make a final investment decision. Baltica 2 is one of the two - alongside Baltica 3 - phases of the Baltica Offshore Wind Farm project.

PGE and Orsted plan to complete the Baltica 2 stage, with a capacity of approximately 1.5 GW, by the end of 2027, and the Baltica 3 stage, with a capacity of approximately 1 GW, by 2030. Baltica 2 and Baltica 3 will form the Baltica Offshore Wind Farm with a total capacity of 2.5 GW.
