Northland Power Inc. (TSX:NPI) today announced the safe and successful installation of both offshore substations for the 1.1 GW Baltic Power project, developed in partnership with ORLEN in the Baltic Sea. This milestone marks a step forward in construction and underscores the continued momentum of Poland's offshore wind industry.
Located more than 20 kilometres offshore, each four-storey substation weighs 2,500 tonnes and will collect power from 76 turbines, each with a capacity of 15 MW, before transmitting it to shore. Built at Polish shipyards in Gdańsk and Gdynia, the substations highlight Baltic Power's contribution to Poland's expanding offshore wind supply chain.
"The successful installation of Baltic Power's offshore substations reflects our commitment to excellence in execution and brings us closer to project completion," said Christine Healy, President and CEO of Northland Power. "Milestones like this are achieved through precision, planning and partnership. I'm incredibly proud of our teams for delivering this achievement safely and well."
The installation was completed using the heavy-lift vessel Gulliver, supported by more than 20 additional vessels conducting parallel installation, maintenance and pre-commissioning activities. Once operational, Baltic Power will become Poland's first offshore wind farm, capable of generating approximately 4 TWh of clean electricity annually - enough to power more than 1.5 million households.
