In the Lubiatowo area, the first of four directional drills under the coastline, beach, and seabed has been successfully completed, with no direct impact on areas of high ecological value. This phase of the project paves the way for connecting the Baltic Power offshore wind farm to its onshore substation. The 1.4 km tunnel will house power transmission cables. The drilling was conducted using HDD (horizontal directional drilling) technology. The completed section is the first of four underground corridors, designed to hold 30-cm diameter cables. This marks the first large-scale use of HDD technology in Poland. Part of the drilling operation took place offshore, utilising divers and a jack-up rig to complete the underwater section. In total, the drilling will result in the extraction of over 8,000 m³ of spoil from all four drills. According to studies commissioned by Baltic Power, the excavated sand is clean and suitable for beach restoration efforts, helping to repair storm damage sustained over the winter. “In Europe, shoreline crossing drills are typically shorter, and when they are longer, the drill diameter is usually smaller. For Baltic Power, we are undertaking a significant engineering challenge, drilling nearly 1.5 kilometres under dunes, the beach, and the seabed. It’s not possible to drill from just one side, but we are working to ensure minimal environmental disruption,” said Jens Poulsen, Member of the Baltic Power Management Board. #⃣ #offshorewindPOLAND #offshorewindPL | #Poland #BalticSea #windenergy #energy #RES #offshorewind #technology ORLEN S.A.

GEOxyz has successfully completed a geophysical survey for the planned offshore wind farm site #Baltica2 and the export cable route, utilizing its offshore support vessel, GEO Ocean IV. This survey marks a significant milestone in the project’s progression and was conducted as part of the marine site investigations initiated in 2023. Katarzyna Grodzicka, Representative for Poland and the Baltics at GEOxyz, expressed satisfaction with the project’s progress and the continued collaboration with PGE and Ørsted. “We are proud to continue our partnership with PGE and Ørsted and contribute to the advancement of renewable energy in Poland. After extensive data acquisition efforts in 2023 for Baltica 2 and Baltica 3, we were glad to return to this area for a continued collaboration in 2024. Our focus remains on delivering precise data to our customers, like PGE and Ørsted, to support various crucial aspects for the further development of offshore wind in the Baltic Sea,” Grodzicka stated. #⃣ #offshorewindPOLAND #offshorewindPL | #Poland #BalticSea #windenergy #energy #RES #offshorewind #technology

On September 19, 2024, the second session of Knowledge-to-Knowledge Program (K2K Program), as a part of the LinkedbyOffshoreWind partnership, was held at the Maritime University of Gdynia. This meeting titled ‘Creating a Knowledge Ecosystem” was aimed at exchanging knowledge and experience in the field of offshore wind energy between industry experts and representatives of Polish universities. Five universities have been invited to participate in the K2K Program, and the host of both the first and second sessions was the Maritime University of Gdynia. #⃣ #offshorewindPOLAND #offshorewindPL | #Poland #BalticSea #windenergy #energy #RES #offshorewind #technology #permitting Joanna Rybicka-Gornowicz Elro van den Burg Uniwersytet Morski w Gdyni Embassy of the Netherlands in Poland Piet Warnaar Frank van de Pieterman LinkedbyOffshoreWind

EXCLUSIVE | Success in meeting offshore wind targets depends not only on well-designed regulations and a robust supply chain. It also depends on well-designed auctions, bidding and procurement processes that encourage investors and service and product providers to participate. A consultancy company Flux Partners is a partner in this area and is keen to share its experience with the Polish industry to improve its chances in the European and global markets. “Many of our clients play a part in the rollout of offshore wind, be it in the development of windfarms, cable laying, civil works for substations or onshore grid infrastructure”, says flux.partners team. Nathan Meijer, Partner in Flux Partners, Ásbjørn Dalgaard, Managing Director & Nordic Lead, and Dominika Lysien, Renewables Advisor at Flux Nordics, shares their experiences and plans for Poland. #⃣ #offshorewindPOLAND #offshorewindPL | #Poland #BalticSea #windenergy #energy #RES #offshorewind #technology #permitting

Grupa Przemysłowa Baltic and CRIST S.A. Shipyard, based in Gdynia, have initiated the formation of a consortium aimed at delivering state-of-the-art transformer stations for the offshore wind power industry. This partnership will extend beyond transformer stations, encompassing various facets of the offshore and shipbuilding sectors. The collaboration is expected to enhance the supply chain for offshore projects and significantly boost the involvement of Polish companies in both domestic and international offshore wind energy initiatives. #⃣ #offshorewindPOLAND #offshorewindPL | #Polska #MorzeBałtyckie #energetykawiatrowa #energetyka #OZE #MEW #morskaenergetykawiatrowa #industry #BalticSea

Poland has ambitions to develop about 18 GW in offshore wind energy and is currently advancing the phase I projects with the phase II projects approaching fast. International engineering and contracting company Semco Maritime has strengthened its presence and wants to support Poland's ambitions in the field of energy transition by offering its global experience in the energy industry. "In cooperation with our partners, we have successfully completed the design and construction of more than 20 offshore substations, making us a leader in EPCI solutions and services for the offshore wind energy industry," says Maciej Grzybowski, Head of Semco Maritime in Poland. The Semco Maritime team has been active in the energy industry for more than 40 years and gained expertise as a multi-disciplinary engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor for the offshore oil and gas industry. "We believe that a fossil-free future requires a sustainable energy transition with conventional and emission-free energy sources coexisting effectively until the day when renewable energy sources are able to meet global demand on their own," points out Szymon Czekoński, Senior Electrical Engineer, High Voltage. #⃣ #offshorewindPOLAND #offshorewindPL | #Polska #MorzeBałtyckie #energetykawiatrowa #energetyka #OZE #MEW #morskaenergetykawiatrowa #windenergy #BalticSea #Poland

PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna and Ørsted, which are preparing to build the Baltica 2 offshore wind farm, have started bird monitoring and are preparing for porpoise monitoring. The research conducted will allow data to be collected on the occurrence of birds and porpoises in the area of the offshore wind farm and in its vicinity. The task is being carried out by Polish companies hired by the investors - 3BIRD SYSTEMS and MEWO S.A. “One of the key stages in the design of any offshore wind farm is environmental research. They allow for a thorough examination of the natural resources in terms of the organisms occurring in the studied area in order to minimise the environmental impact both during construction and the subsequent long-term operation of the wind farm. Thanks to such research, we are able to reconcile the operation of an offshore wind farm with the preservation of natural resources,” says Bartosz Fedurek, CEO of #PGEBaltica. “Green energy development must go hand in hand with the protection of natural habitats and wildlife. At Ørsted, we have set ourselves the goal that all new renewable energy projects commissioned from 2030 at the latest will have a net positive impact on biodiversity. This means that we will not only avoid, minimise and compensate for any impact on nature during the life of our projects – but we will also actively help to restore and improve ecosystems. I am convinced that by putting sustainability at the heart of our business, we will unleash innovations that catalyze green solutions in the energy industry on the Polish market as well and drive progress towards a low-carbon economy in balance with nature and society,” says Agata Staniewska-Bolesta Bolesta, managing director of Ørsted Offshore Poland.
