Tele-Fonika Kable (TFK) and JDR Cable Systems (JDR) have been awarded a contract with Orlen Group and Northland Power for the Baltic Power offshore wind farm in Poland. Together with partners NKT and Deme Offshore, they will design, manufacture, and install 340km of land and subsea cables.
TFK will manufacture and install 230kV land power cables and cores for inter-array cables at its manufacturing facility in Bydgoszcz, Poland. As a consortium partner, NKT will develop the offshore export cables for the project. TFK will manage the transportation and installation of the onshore cable section within the Baltic wind farm. JDR will design and manufacture 66kV inter-array cables that will be used to connect the 76 offshore turbines to the offshore substation. Deme Offshore will be responsible for the transportation and installation of all subsea cables. The manufacture and delivery of all cables will be completed by the end of 2025.
Located 23km to the north of the Polish coastline, on the level of Choczewo and Łeba, Baltic Power has a wind farm area of approximately 130 square kilometers which will feature 76 wind turbines each with a generating capacity of 15 MW. The 1.2GW project is scheduled to be fully operational by 2026.
