Introduction:

Imagine a future where renewable energy powers millions of homes and contributes to a greener world. PGE Group and Ørsted are making this vision a reality through their groundbreaking agreement with GE Vernova and Polimex Mostostal. Together, they will construct the vital onshore infrastructure needed for the Baltica 2 project, a pivotal phase of the Baltica Offshore Wind Farm. This blog takes you on a journey into the heart of this transformative project.

A Milestone for Renewable Energy:

The collaboration between PGE Group, Ørsted, GE Vernova, and Polimex Mostostal marks a significant milestone in Poland's energy landscape. Their joint efforts will create the onshore transformer station and export lines essential to harnessing 1.5 GW of power from the Baltica 2 offshore wind farm. It's not just about delivering electricity; it's about enhancing energy security for the entire country. The Baltica 2 project is set to feed its first electricity into the National Electricity System in 2027, revolutionizing Poland's energy grid.

A Greener Tomorrow for Poland:

  • Baltica 2 is a pivotal part of the Baltica Offshore Wind Farm.
  • Located in Pomerania near Osieki Lęborskie village, it promotes decentralized power generation.
  • It boasts a capacity of approximately 1.5 GW, supplying green energy to 4 million Polish households.
  • Aiming to complete Baltica 2 by the end of 2027 and Baltica 3 by 2030.
  • Beyond numbers, it's about reducing carbon emissions, enhancing sustainability, and creating a brighter future for Poland.
  • GE Vernova and Polimex Mostostal are the general contractors for land connection infrastructure.
  • Their turnkey approach ensures a fully operational facility.
  • It includes a 275/400 kV extra-high voltage substation and onshore export lines.
  • Demonstrates a commitment to advancing Poland's energy transition with state-of-the-art technologies.

Conclusion:

In summary, the partnership between PGE, Ørsted, GE Vernova, and Polimex Mostostal is a monumental step towards Poland's renewable energy goals. It's about more than just building infrastructure; it's about building a sustainable future. The Baltica 2 project will be a beacon of green energy, bringing positive change to Poland's energy sector and beyond.
