Orsted and PGE have selected Siemens Gamesa as supplier of turbines for one of two stages of the Baltica Offshore Wind Farm.
The pair have signed an agreement with Siemens Gamesa for supplying offshore wind units for the Baltica 2 project with a total capacity of about 1.5GW.
Orsted and PGE expect to be able to commission Baltica 2 by the end of 2027.
In addition to supplying 107 turbines with capacity of 14MW each, Siemens Gamesa will be also responsible for service and supply of spare parts for a period of five years.
“In light of the macroeconomic challenges, we are particularly proud that we’re able to announce this important milestone for Baltica 2 – a project that will be pioneering the offshore wind industry in Poland and will lead the way for its transition to green energy,” said chief executive of Region Europe at Orsted Rasmus Errboe.
“I wish to thank our partner PGE and the Polish government for their support in making this possible.”
Chief executive of the offshore business at Siemens Gamesa Marc Becker added: “This latest deal for Baltica 2 will cement the foundations for a successful rollout of offshore wind power in Poland.
“The Baltic Sea can provide huge opportunities for the growth of the industry in coming years, and we stand committed with Poland and our partners to develop it further.”
