Polish Companies Ink Survey Contracts for Baltica 9 Offshore Wind Farm

Wedoany.com Report-May 24, PGE Baltica has signed an agreement with a consortium of Polish companies, Geo Ingenieurservice Polska from Gdynia and Baltic Diving Solutions from Rumia, to conduct a specialized geophysical survey of the Baltic Sea seabed for the Baltica 9 offshore wind farm. The survey aims to identify unexploded ordnance and shallow gas in preparation for future geotechnical studies.

The scope of work includes performing the geophysical survey, processing and analyzing collected data, and issuing as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP) certificates for designated seabed areas. These certificates will ensure the safety of subsequent geotechnical surveys planned for the Baltica 9 project.

Krzysztof Stopierzyński, President of Baltic Diving Solutions, stated: “After successful measurement campaigns in the North Sea and foreign Baltic projects, we are pleased that the Baltic Surveyor vessel will participate in the preparation and implementation of projects in the Polish zone of the Baltic Sea.”

The survey is scheduled for the third quarter of 2025 and will focus on locations identified during a prior 2D Ultra-High-Resolution (UHRS) geophysical campaign conducted by Geofizyka Toruń SA. The Baltica 9 offshore wind farm, spanning 121 square kilometers and located approximately 48 kilometers from the shore, is projected to have an installed capacity of about 975 megawatts.

This initiative supports the development of renewable energy infrastructure in Poland, contributing to sustainable energy production for domestic consumption. By engaging local companies, PGE Baltica fosters economic growth and leverages regional expertise in the offshore wind sector.

The Baltica 9 project underscores Poland’s commitment to expanding clean energy capacity, enhancing energy security, and reducing carbon emissions through advanced offshore wind technology.
