Gdynia, 3 December 2024: The West Pomeranian Voivode has issued two key decisions on the implementation of the F.E.W. Baltic II offshore wind farm. In doing so, he granted a permit for the construction of offshore wind turbines together with an internal power and telecommunications network and an offshore substation for the RWE F.E.W. Baltic II offshore wind farm.

  • Two construction permits relate to the erection of the offshore wind turbines together with the internal power and telecommunications grid and the offshore substation for the F.E.W. Baltic II offshore wind farm
  • Implementation of the offshore wind farm project is progressing according to schedule, with commissioning scheduled for the end of this decade

Tomasz Kreft, Team Lead Offshore Consenting at RWE: ‘We have obtained two key construction permits for our offshore wind farm. This is a very important milestone for the entire F.E.W. Baltic II project. We plan to receive all necessary construction permits in the first quarter of 2025. These documents will allow us to proceed with our first offshore wind project in the Polish Baltic Sea on schedule.’

The scope of the project covered by the decisions:

– offshore wind turbines,

– internal power and telecommunications networks connecting the offshore wind turbines to each other and the groups of wind turbines to the offshore substation,

– an electrical substation that will be used to transform and transmit the energy generated by the offshore wind turbines to land.

The 350 MW F.E.W. Baltic II offshore wind farm project is being developed in the Polish part of the Baltic Sea in an area of approximately 41 km2, about 50 km from the shore, north of Ustka. In 2021. The Energy Regulatory Office granted the right to cover the negative balance subject to approval by the European Commission. Seabed surveys have been successfully completed and both geophysical surveys and preliminary geotechnical investigations have been carried out by Polish contractors. The F.E.W. Baltic II project is at an advanced stage, awaiting further necessary administrative decisions and permits.
