Baltic Power on the Baltic. Another phase of construction of the first offshore wind farm completed successfully

All transitional elements (TP) that combine the foundations with turbines at Baltic Power offshore wind farm in the Baltic Sea have been installed. In parallel, the assembly of turbines and export and interturbin cables on the sea construction site takes place. The current from the first offshore farm in Poland is expected to sail this year.

The installation of the transition elements was completed one month after the last of the 78 monopals were sunk into the bottom of the sea as the foundations of the Baltic Power turbines and marine power stations.

Baltic Power components produced in Poland

Transitional elements combine the foundations (monopale) with wind turbines and marine power stations. Each construction is about 20 metres long and weighs up to 350 tons, and is also made under a specific location.

In addition to the main cylinder construction, they are equipped with bridges allowing secure access of technicians from service units to turbines, sailing cranes for the transport of tools and parts and internal electrical installations.

The production of components for transitional elements was carried out, among others, in factories in Żara, Niemodlin and Łęknica, where steel was used mainly from Polish steelworks.

Construction of Baltic Power on the Baltic continues

The closure of all the main works of the so-called foundation package does not mean that the maritime construction site has become a peaceful place. Every day, about 20 ships work on it, which install wind turbines and export and interturbin cables.

The preparatory work is also underway for the collection and testing of more than 30 turbines and both sea stations already installed electricity. More than 80 ships and 4,500 crew members, technicians and contractors have participated in the installation campaign planned to be completed for the second half of 2026.

Baltic Power is the most advanced offshore wind farm project in Poland and the first one to start offshore installations. After completion of the construction, a farm with a capacity of about 1.2 GW will produce up to 4 TWh of electricity per year, corresponding to about 3% of national demand.

The farm is located about 23 km from the shore, in the area of Choczev and Łeba, and covers an area of 130 km2. Start Baltic Power is planned for the end of 2026.
