Steel fabrication for Baltica 2 auxiliary structures commences
The Baltica 2 offshore wind farm project, a joint venture between Ørsted and PGE, is making significant strides towards construction. Currently in the advanced pre-construction phase, the project is set to deliver up to 1.5 GW of green energy, powering approximately 2.5 million Polish households [1].
Boulder relocation and seabed clearance are underway at the future site, with UTROV contracted for the seabed boulder removal [1]. The construction work at sea, including the installation of foundations and other components, is planned for 2026 and 2027 [1].
Grupa Przemysłowa Baltic has initiated the fabrication of secondary steel elements for the Baltica 2 offshore wind farm [2]. Steelwind Nordenham will deliver 34 wind turbine foundations for the project, while Navantia-Windar will supply 77 monopile foundations for the turbines and substations [3].
The first metal sheet for the mooring structures of the Baltica 2 project was cut at the former Gdańsk Shipyard and at the Energomontaż-Północ Gdynia S.A. plant [2]. Construction of mooring structures has begun to allow service vessels to safely moor at turbine foundations in the Baltic Sea [2]. Anode cages, designed to protect foundations from corrosion and damage, will also be built in Gdańsk for the Baltica 2 project [3].
The vessel Olympic Electra is currently relocating boulders at the project site, located approximately 40 kilometres off the Polish coast near Ustka [4]. Offshore work for the Baltica 2 project has started this month [4].
The Baltica 2 offshore wind farm project took the final investment decision (FID) at the beginning of this year, moving the project into the construction phase [5]. With the boulder clearing contracts signed and construction work underway, Baltica 2 is actively moving towards offshore construction.
However, the search results do not specify the companies fabricating secondary steel elements or the monopile foundation suppliers for Baltica 2 beyond the aforementioned companies. For more specific details, specialized databases or direct project updates from Ørsted or PGE Baltica may provide more information.
