Vestas supplies the first offshore wind farms in Poland with large wind turbines

Denmark's Vestas has said it has been selected as the turbine supplier of choice for the 1.
2 GW Baltic Power project, one of the first offshore wind farms in Poland and expected to come online
in 2026.

Baltic Power is a joint venture
between Polish refiner PKN Orlen and Canada's Northland Power In (TSE:NPI).
It will be equipped with 76 V236-15.
0 MW turbines
from Vestas.

"We want to use the knowledge and experience gained in the Baltic Power power project to implement further investments
in the Baltic Sea.
When selecting partners, Vestas' involvement translates not only into our projects, but also into the local value chain of the entire offshore wind industry," commented
Daniel Obajtek, Chairman of the Management Board of PKN Orlen.

To date, Vestas has installed more than 3.
9 GW of onshore wind turbines
in Poland.

Northland President and CEO Mike Crawley said the turbine selection is an important milestone as construction of the project begins in 2024
.

In a separate announcement, Baltic Power said it had also signed reservation agreements
with suppliers for export cables and onshore substations for wind farms.

Danish cable manufacturer NKT will design and produce offshore export cables, while the onshore portion of the inter-array cable and export cable will be supplied
by Poland's TELE-FONIKA Kable and JDR Cable Systems.
TELE-FONIKA Kable will also be responsible for the onshore part of the transportation and installation of cables
.
All offshore cables will be transported and installed
by DEME.

A consortium of GE and Polish power construction company ENPROM will be responsible for delivering the onshore substation
.

The Baltic Power wind farm will be located about 23 kilometers off the Choczewa and Leva
coasts.
Once operational, it is expected to provide enough power
to more than 1.
5 million homes.
