en.Wedoany.com Reported - Ørsted and Poland's PGE are transporting over 400 additional steel structure components to the installation port of the 1.5 GW Baltic Sea Baltica 2 offshore wind farm—Rønne Port on the island of Bornholm—as the project's foundation work enters an intensive construction phase. Over 75% of the secondary steel structures come from Polish factories.
These components include external platforms, suspended internal platforms, service vessel mooring platforms, and anode cages, supplied by three manufacturers. Smulders from Świnoujście produced 107 suspended internal platforms at its factory in Żary; Grupa Przemysłowa Baltic from Gdańsk manufactured 111 mooring platforms and 111 anode cages; the longest transport route comes from 107 external work platforms built by Etermar in Setúbal, Portugal.
Ulrik Lange, Vice President and General Manager of the Baltica 2 project at Ørsted, stated that Baltica 2 is in an intensive construction phase, with more monopile foundations being installed offshore while coordinating the delivery of required components to equip the foundations. Over 75% of the additional steel comes from Polish factories. Bartosz Fedurek, Chairman of the Management Board of PGE Baltica, noted that the involvement of Polish companies reflects the maturity of the domestic industry and its readiness to participate in demanding offshore wind projects.
The secondary steel structures equip the foundations: internal and external platforms allow technicians to access the structures, mooring platforms enable safe docking of service vessels, and anode cages form part of the corrosion protection system. Transport to the installation port will continue until the end of August, with the first structural components to be installed on monopile foundations in early June.
Baltica 2 is located approximately 40 km off the coast near Ustka and is a joint venture project developed by Ørsted and PGE. The first electricity is expected to be generated in the first half of 2027, with full commercial operation planned by the end of that year. Once completed, the wind farm will be able to supply approximately 2.5 million Polish households.
