Ørsted chief construction officer Patrick Harnett (pictured) said production is progressing on schedule, adding that Baltica 2 is a key part of the company’s 8.1GW global offshore wind construction programme for 2025 to 2027.
Baltica 2, which is set to become Poland’s largest offshore wind farm, is expected to enter operation in the second half of 2027, providing power for about 2.5 million homes.
