Ocean Winds has contracted Poland’s SeaRenergy to prepare a conceptual design, construction permit design documentation for the offshore substation at its 500MW BC-Wind offshore wind farm in the Polish Baltic Sea.
The scope of the contract covers OSS topside concept design, including electrical design, which creates a basis for the construction permit.
Moreover, the preparation of the documentation necessary for applying and obtaining the construction permit is an integral part of this integrated service contract resulting in the final approval by the respective authorities.
SeaRenergy will execute the project by including experienced partners also involving as much local content as possible to contribute to the Polish offshore wind development.
The project execution started in August 2023. Ocean Winds plans to start commercial operations of the offshore wind farm in 2027.
“We are delighted to become Ocean Winds’ partner on the BC-Wind project and to deliver support to bring the project closer to obtain a building permit for the entire wind farm. To engage Seartec, the inhouse design company of Searenergy Group and Elbe-1 gives us the confidence to apply our one stop shop approach without compromising the market known SeaRenergy driven by quality, innovation and experience,” said Natalia Kress, Managing Director of SeaRenergy.
