A consortium of Ramboll Polska and Projmors Maritime Construction Design Office will prepare a construction project for both stages of the Baltica Offshore Wind Farm, i.e. Baltica 2 and Baltica 3, developed jointly by Ørsted and PGE Group.
Its task is to prepare design documentation for foundations, turbines, internal cables and power stations at sea, as well as to obtain a building permit, and then prepare the technical design of the Baltica Offshore Wind Farm. The deadline for the task is the third quarter of 2023.
According to the schedule, the launch of the first stage of the project, i.e. Baltica 3 with a capacity of up to 1045.5 MW, is planned for 2026. The next stage, i.e. Baltica 2 with a capacity of up to 1498 MW, is to be commissioned in 2027. Both stages of the IMF Baltica have location decisions (PSzW), environmental decisions for the maritime part, transmission network connection agreements with the operator, and have also received the right to a contract for difference (CfD). In 2022, the project partners expect to receive further administrative decisions for the onshore transmission part, and will also start work on obtaining a building permit. These are the last permits required before the final investment decision is made.
