Semco and Bladt to supply two offshore substations for the Baltic Power project
The consortium will be responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction, and installation of the offshore substations.
A consortium of strategic partners Bladt Industries and Semco Maritime has been appointed selected supplier of two offshore substations for the Baltic Power project, a joint venture of ORLEN Group and Northland Power Inc. aiming to supply more than 1.5 million households with clean power by 2026.
The two substations will be constructed and established in 2022-2025 as key components of the electrical infrastructure for the wind park consisting of more than 70 turbines, each with a minimum capacity of 14 MW. Each substation will be a 2.5 thousand-tonne steel structure standing on foundations and rising about 20 meters above the sea level.
Anders Søe-Jensen, CEO, Bladt Industries, says:
“Together with our partner Semco Maritime we look forward to delivering yet another joint project for the offshore wind industry. At Bladt Industries we are pleased to be perceived as a safe pair of hands and to join forces to safely and successfully deliver in support of offshore wind in Poland.”
Steen Brødbæk, CEO, Semco Maritime, says:
“The Baltic Power project is another milestone in the development of the Polish renewable energy sector, and we are proud that ORLEN Group and Northland Power have signed the preferred supplier contract with our long-standing strategic partner Bladt Industries and Semco Maritime.”
Jarosław Broda, Member of the Management Board of Baltic Power, says:
”Baltic Power consistently follows its schedule and selects suppliers who can boast not only a great deal of experience, but also a readiness to carry out significant part of the work in Poland. This is a very important aspect for us as an investor, which translates into building a local value chain for the offshore wind sector, because each of these companies are already intensively looking for sub-suppliers in Poland.”
The Baltic Power wind farm will be erected approx. 23 kilometres off the shore, near Łeba and Choczewo. When completed in 2026, the Baltic Power offshore wind farm will be able to supply more than 1.5 million households with clean energy.
