Owner's Engineer for the construction of the Baltic Power offshore wind farm

The project involves the construction of 76 wind turbines with a unit capacity of 15 MW and a height of more than 200 meters, operating in the area of about 130 square kilometers, as well as foundations, offshore and onshore substations, and export and internal power cables. 

The onshore substation will serve as a hub for the cable lines transmitting electricity from offshore substations nearly 30 kilometers away. The onshore cable section will measure about 7 km in length and will be almost entirely routed underground.

The offshore wind farm will be located 23 km north of the Polish coast, at the height of Choczewo and Leba, in the Exclusive Economic Zone of Poland.

Upon completion, the farm will be able to supply more than 1.5 million households with renewable energy.
