PGE Baltica has signed a contract with a consortium of PROJMORS ASE Group, ABL Group Polska (OWC) and Energoprojekt-Katowice to prepare the design of the onshore grid connection infrastructure for the Baltica 9+ offshore wind project.
Electricity from Baltica 9+ will be transmitted onshore to a connection point at the Krzemienica substation in the Pomeranian Voivodeship, in the Słupsk district, Redzikowo commune. The contract covers a full technical concept for the connection infrastructure, technology selection, key parameters, design, logistics and implementation assumptions, as well as the project schedule and budget. The consortium will also carry out detailed ground investigations, including a geological survey programme, field and laboratory geotechnical testing, and the related geological and engineering documentation. The final stage will involve preparing construction designs and obtaining building permits for the power export infrastructure.
The consortium is led by PROJMORS ASE Group. “Taking part in the tender organised by PGE Baltica was a major challenge for us. We are pleased that it ended in success and that we will be able to prepare the power export design for the Baltica 9+ project,” said Mateusz Samulak, President of the Management Board of PROJMORS ASE Group.
PGE Baltica framed the award as part of its strategy to build domestic supply-chain capacity in Polish offshore wind. “We consistently pursue our mission of building strong local content in offshore wind projects in Poland,” said Bartosz Fedurek, President of the Management Board of PGE Baltica, noting that several of the partners are Polish companies.
Baltica 9+ combines the Baltica 9 project with the area of the acquired FEW Baltic II project. Once the two locations are merged, the resulting offshore wind farm will have a total capacity of around 1.3 GW. It is located in the western part of the Słupsk Bank, covering roughly 162 km², about 48 km from shore. Completion is planned by 2032, making it one of the key projects in PGE’s offshore portfolio. Together with the group’s other offshore wind projects, Baltica 9+ is expected to contribute to around 3.8 GW of total installed offshore capacity by 2035.
