[A Milestone in Baltic Wind Power! Poland's First Offshore Wind Farm Completes Key Installations] ⑴ Baltic Power, a joint venture between ORLEN and Canada's Northland Power, has completed the installation of two offshore substations, each weighing 2,500 tons. ⑵ These two substations are key components of Poland's first offshore wind farm, responsible for collecting electricity generated by the wind turbines and transmitting it to shore. ⑶ Some components of the two substations were manufactured in facilities in Gdynia and Gdansk, reflecting the participation of Polish domestic industry. ⑷ The offshore substations have been installed approximately 20 kilometers from the coast and will receive electricity from 76 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 15 MW. ⑸ Each substation is equipped with two transformers, 230 kV and 66 kV switchgear, diesel generators, and a control and monitoring system. ⑹ The localization rate of the project is expected to reach at least 21% throughout its entire lifecycle, with Polish companies involved in multiple stages from basic components to installation and construction. (7) The wind farm, scheduled for completion next year, will have an installed capacity of approximately 1.2 gigawatts and an annual power generation of 4 terawatt-hours, enough to meet the electricity needs of over 1.5 million households. (8) The wind farm is located in the sea near Leba and Hochevo, 23 kilometers from the coast, covering an area of over 130 square kilometers, roughly the size of the city of Gdynia.
