DEME Offshore has secured a substantial cable contract for Polish offshore wind farm Baltic Power, together with its consortium partners.
The wide-ranging scope includes the engineering, procurement, construction and installation of both the inter-array and export cables for the 1.2GW wind farm, which is being jointly developed by ORLEN Group and Northland Power.
Construction is expected to start in 2024 and COD is slated for 2026.
Baltic Power will be located 23 km off the coast of the Polish Baltic Sea coast, near Łeba.
Representing approximately 130 km of export cables and 127 km of inter-array cables, DEME Offshore will execute the contract with consortium partners NKT, a power cable supplier in the energy sector, and TFKable Group (TELE-FONIKA Kable and JDR Cable Systems), a supplier of cables for offshore and onshore wind energy.
DEME’s share in the contract represents a value of €150–300m.
Philip Scheers, Business Unit Director at DEME Offshore, said: “We are delighted to partner with Baltic Power and secure our first offshore wind farm project in Poland.
“Combining the extensive expertise and innovative solutions of the consortium, we are excited to make a meaningful contribution to this pioneering project and support Poland’s transition to clean energy.”
