Offshore Wind Consultants (OWC) has set up an office in Poland to support offshore wind developments in the Baltic Sea.
Lukasz Sikorski (pictured) has been appointed manager of the office.
Sikorski has worked in offshore engineering roles for DNV GL as well as site and project manager roles with Iberdrola.
OWC director Wilhelm Sander said: “Lukasz has been involved with a great variety of wind project development work, including construction and operation, feasibility studies and technical reviews of wind farms, due diligence, projects financing and risk evaluations.
“He is a great asset to any wind farm developer in the Baltic Sea.
“Offshore wind is growing fast globally and the recent sudden drop in oil prices has fuelled interest in offshore renewables further.
“Earlier this year the Polish government handed in the offshore wind act that outlines more than 10GW of capacity to be awarded by 2028 into parliament. We want to support the Polish wind industry and create jobs locally by doing so.”
In recent months, OWC has announced plans to set up offices in Tokyo and Seoul to support the rapidly emerging offshore wind markets in Japan and South Korea.
OWC has been involved in a total of 50.6GW of offshore wind projects worldwide.
