Baltic Power, a joint venture between PKN ORLEN and Northland Power, has selected Vestas as the preferred turbine supplier for the 1.2 GW Baltic Power offshore wind project in Poland.
Vestas will provide 76 V236-15.0 MW turbines for the Baltic Power project — located 23 kilometres off the coast of the Polish Baltic Sea shoreline, near Łeba. This will be the largest wind project in Poland.
“We aim to leverage our extensive experience and market leadership in the Polish wind energy sector, where Vestas has installed more than 3.9 GW of onshore wind turbines,” said Nils de Baar, President of Vestas Northern & Central Europe.
“When selecting partners, we pay attention to how their involvement will translate not only into our project but also into building a local value chain for the entire offshore wind energy sector,” said Daniel Obajtek, President of the PKN ORLEN Management Board.
