- Production of secondary steel structures for the Baltica 2 offshore wind farm in Żary clearly illustrates the importance of partnership-based cooperation and a consistent focus on top quality. Although these elements are less visible, they play a critical role, as they ensure the safety of turbine operations and the durability of the structures for decades to come. From design to delivery, precision, quality and attention to detail are what matter. Our cooperation with Smulders is built on shared standards of safety and responsibility. I am pleased that production is progressing on schedule, because on-time delivery of components is essential to the success of the entire project – said Ulrik Lange, Vice President and Managing Director for the Baltica 2 project at Ørsted.
- As shown by the example of the production of suspended internal platforms, the domestic component of the Baltica 2 offshore wind farm includes not only suppliers and contractors from Pomerania, but also plants in the Lubusz and Opole provinces, among others. In this way, the domestic supply chain for offshore wind energy projects reaches deeper into Poland and is an opportunity for the entire Polish industry, said Bartosz Fedurek, President of the PGE Baltica Management Board. An additional local aspect is the fact that after production, these steel components will be transported to the terminal in Świnoujście, where they will be properly equipped and prepared for installation at sea. Thus, the terminal in Świnoujście – alongside the T5 installation terminal in Gdańsk and the operational and service base being built in Ustka – will, in a sense, become another construction base for Baltica 2, another port included in our project, he added.
- We are approaching 30% completion of our production. Work continues at pace—here in Żary, as well as in Łęknica and Niemodlin. We have completed construction of the temporary facility in Świnoujście and are beginning assembly activities there. I am confident we will deliver the project on time. Production for Baltica 2, the largest wind farm in Poland, is one of our main projects underway across 2025 and 2026. We are proud to be part of this remarkable undertaking – said Rafał Futyma, Operational Director, Smulders Projects Poland.
