Protea will deliver two cranes for the Baltic Power offshore
wind farm transformer station.
The
machines, with a lifting capacity of 6 tons at a reach of 28 meters,
will play a key role in transporting cargo from vessels to and around
the platform, working with CTVs (Crew Transfer Vessels) and SOVs
(Supply Offshore Vessels). The equipment will be delivered to CS
Wind, the contractor responsible for the delivery of the transformer
station for the Baltic Power power plant.
The cranes will be
equipped with remote service access, which will ensure efficient
maintenance management and troubleshooting from a distance,
increasing operational safety, which is crucial for the logistical
and operational needs of the wind farm.
- We are honored to be part
of the Baltic Power project, which will play a key role in Poland's
energy transformation. This contract underlines our ability to
deliver advanced, reliable and safe service solutions for the
offshore wind farm sector - emphasizes Protea in the release.
The
construction of the Baltic Power offshore wind farm is a joint
venture carried out by the Orlen Group and Northland Power. The
investment area, with a total capacity of up to 1.2 GW, is located
approx. 23 km north of the Baltic Sea coastline. The Baltic Power
offshore wind farm is the most advanced offshore wind energy project
in Poland. The preparatory phase was completed in September 2023, and
full financing was provided by 25 international financial
institutions. According to the schedule, the project obtained the
necessary building permits and contracts for all key components.
Baltic Power will be one of the first farms in the world to install
15 MW wind turbines and the first in the world with a significant
part of the turbine towers made of low-carbon steel. After completion
of construction in 2026, Baltic Power will be the first Polish
offshore wind farm operating in the Baltic Sea, covering 3% of the
national energy demand while reducing CO2 emissions by approximately
2.8 million tons per year.
