Orlen Group and Northland Power have set up an offshore wind farm service company in Poland.
Energa Wytwarzanie, an Orlen Group company, and Northland Power, have established Baltic Offshore Service Solution, to specialise in a range of services tailored to the offshore wind energy sector.
These encompass technical, operational, commercial and contractual aspects.
Additionally, the company will oversee the operation of the 24-hour Wind Farm Management Centre planned to be established by the Orlen Group.
“Offshore wind presents an opportunity for profound transformations in our power system and the development of new sectors in the economy,” said Orlen Group’s executive director for energy Jarosław Dybowski.
“We are actively progressing with the Baltic Power project and plan to invest in projects in an additional five licences that are developed by Orlen Neptun.
“To this end, we will leverage our existing expertise from onshore projects, also drawing on the experience of our partner, a global leader in the offshore wind industry.”
The newly established company will build on the experience of Energa Wytwarzanie, which boasts a 15-year track record of maintaining onshore renewable energy assets and a portfolio of six wind farms with a combined capacity of approximately 244MW.
The entity is responsible for the maintenance of individual wind farm components, ensuring the technical efficiency and availability of power machinery and equipment, and conducting technical inspections.
Orlen Group and Northland are jointly implementing the Baltic Power offshore wind farm project, with a capacity of up to 1.2GW, which is set to commence clean energy production in 2026.
