Poland, Gdynia: Ocean Winds and SeaRenergy Poland have signed a contract to prepare a conceptual design, construction permit design documentation and obtain a permit an offshore substation.

Ocean Winds and SeaRenergy have signed a contract to prepare a conceptual design, construction permit design documentation and obtain a permit for the BC-Wind offshore wind farm in the Polish Baltic Sea. The scope of the contract covers OSS topside concept design including electrical design which creates a basis for the construction permit.

The preparation of the documentation necessary for applying and obtaining the Construction Permit is an integral part of this integrated service contract resulting in the final approval by the respective authorities. SeaRenergy will execute the project by including experienced partners also involving as much local content as possible to contribute to the Polish offshore wind development. The project execution started in August 2023.

“We are delighted to become Ocean Winds’ partner on the BC-Wind project and to deliver support to bring the project closer to obtain a building permit for the entire wind farm. To engage Seartec, the inhouse design company of Searenergy Group and Elbe-1 gives us the confidence to apply our one stop shop approach without compromising the market known SeaRenergy driven by quality, innovation and experience.” says Natalia Kress, Managing Director of SeaRenergy Sp. z. o. o.

The wind farm is being developed by Ocean Winds, the international company dedicated to offshore wind energy and created by ENGIE and EDPR. The 500 MW project is to be built about 23 kilometres north of the municipalities of Choczewo and Krokowa in the Pomeranian Voivodeship. It will comprise a maximum of 34 wind turbines located approximately 37 kilometres from the port of Władysławowo.

BC-Wind is being implemented according to schedule with geophysical and geotechnical surveys. The developer plans to start commercial operations of the wind farm in 2027.
