Poland: Equinor and Polenergia have selected Hitachi Energy to deliver electrical systems infrastructure for the MFW Bałtyk II and MFW Bałtyk III offshore wind projects in Poland.
MFW Bałtyk II and MFW Bałtyk III, located in the Baltic Sea approximately 27 km and 40 km from the port of Łeba, are two of the largest and most advanced offshore wind farms being developed in Poland.
Once operational, the wind farms will have a total installed capacity of 1,440 MW, enough to power more than 2 million Polish homes.
“This is another key milestone for these offshore wind projects, which will supply domestically produced renewable energy to the Polish power grid. We look forward to working with Hitachi Energy in Poland and their local subcontractors on bringing this competitive source of renewable energy to Poland,” says Michał Kołodziejczyk, country manager of Equinor in Poland.
The combined capacity of both projects (1,440 MW) represents a substantial part of the first phase of the Polish offshore wind industry development scheme with a total capacity of 5,900 MW.
