Ocean Winds has appointed Siemens Gamesa as the turbine supplier for the BC-Wind project in the Polish Baltic Sea. This project, aimed at positioning itself as a leader in renewable energy initiatives within the region, is expected to support Poland’s decarbonization goals by generating emission-free energy for over 480,000 households.
The contract entails the supply of 26 SG 14-236 DD turbines, each with a nominal capacity of 14 MW, which can be boosted to 15 MW using the Power Boost system. These turbines meet IECRE certification standards, ensuring compliance with international quality and safety requirements.
The installation of the turbines is scheduled for 2028, with Cadeler set to handle the installation using specialized vessels from Terminal T5 at the Port of Gdansk. The BC-Wind project will be located approximately 23 kilometers off the coastline near Krokowa and Choczewo. It represents the first phase in Poland’s offshore wind development, with a total planned capacity of up to 390 MW.
This initiative is a strategic move to diversify Poland’s energy matrix and enhance energy supply security. Ocean Winds, a collaboration between EDP Renewables and ENGIE, chose Siemens Gamesa based on positive experiences from the Moray West project. The contract also includes long-term service and maintenance to ensure the wind farm operates reliably throughout its lifespan.
Final investment decisions are anticipated later this year, with contracts for difference already secured and environmental approvals in process. The Port of Gdansk will also serve as the central hub for pre-assembly and loading logistics, contributing to an efficient project timeline.
