With the beginning of April, two years have passed since the start of construction. Contractor teams have just finished installing the primary apparatus in the 400 kV switchgear bays. This part of the substation is to be commissioned first and will enable power to be derived from the Baltic Power offshore wind farm (approximately 1.2 GW).
In February, the last batches of 400 kV disconnectors, transformers and surge arresters arrived as planned. Installation of the primary apparatus in further switching bays is underway.
The construction of cable ducts has been completed, in which cables are now being laid to connect the installed primary apparatus to the control cabinets in the process building.
In March, a set of protection cabinets arrived on site, which will be tasked with ensuring reliable operation of the transmission network by monitoring and responding to any disturbances.
Work is also continuing on other fronts. Construction of the guard house has been completed and work is underway on the internal roads and external fencing. The station will also soon gain an asphalt access to the district road and lighting.
The 400 kV Choczewo substation is one of the elements of the power infrastructure through which PSE will be able to supply electricity produced by offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea to the National Power System, and thus transfer it to consumers throughout the country. Completion of construction and commissioning of the Choczewo substation is planned for 2027.
