On October 4th of this year, Baltic Operator Sp. z o.o., a company belonging to GPBaltic signed a contract to produce two offshore substation platforms (OSS) for Baltic offshore wind farm projects.

Within the scope of this contract, Baltic Operator will manufacture the steel structures of two substations with a total weight of 2,600 tons. The production of the offshore transformer stations for the first Polish offshore wind farm in the Baltic Sea will commence this month and will be carried out simultaneously at the production facilities of the Baltic Industrial Group in Gdansk and Gdynia.

"We are pleased that our expertise and many years of experience in producing structures for offshore wind energy, especially substations, will be utilized for the construction of offshore wind farms in the domestic market. We have previously executed numerous contracts for European and American wind farms. Our company has been steadily developing competencies in the field of structures for offshore wind energy, and the acquisition of this contract is a testament to the trust in our capabilities and manufacturing skills as a Group. The signed agreement represents not only a significant step in the implementation of our Group's strategy but also provides a solid foundation for future joint ventures with our business partners," said Henryk Ogryczak, President of the GPBaltic.

The production of the mentioned substations will be smoothly integrated into the manufacturing process after the delivery of two substations for the American offshore project from the production sites in Gdynia later this month.
