Seaway7, part of the Subsea7 Group, has been awarded a contract by PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna and Ørsted for the transport and installation of the substations for the Baltica 2 wind farm, offshore Poland.
Seaway7’s scope includes the transport and installation of four substations. Offshore activity is scheduled to take place in 2026 utilising both of the company’s heavy lift and heavy transportation vessels.
Baltica 2 is a 50:50 joint venture between PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna and Ørsted. The wind farm, with a capacity of around 1.5 GW, will be located in the Polish sector of the Baltic Sea around 40 km from shore. The contract is subject to financial close of the project, expected in 2024.
Maria Eidesvik, vice president for Europe and the USA at Seaway7, said: “This is our second contract award in the emerging Polish market and we are pleased to be taking a role in developing offshore wind in this key location.”
Last year, Seaway7 secured the contract by Equinor and partner Polenergia for the inter-array cables of the MFW Bałtyk II and MFW Bałtyk III bottom-fixed offshore wind projects, in the Polish part of the Baltic Sea.
Seaway7’s scope of work for that project covers the engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) of 100 66kV inter-array cables, measuring approximately 200 km in length.
