Wind Farm Developer Cadeler to Install Wind Turbines at Ocean Winds' Initial Wind Project in Poland as Per Our Site's Reporting
In a significant move for the renewable energy sector, Cadeler has signed a firm contract with Ocean Winds for the transportation and installation of turbines at the 390 MW BC-Wind offshore wind farm in Poland. The project, located approximately 23 kilometers from the Polish coastline, north of the Pomeranian Voivodeship, is set to begin in 2028 and is expected to last for about four months.
Prior to the installation, an Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) survey is being conducted at the site by Ocean Winds, the project owner of BC-Wind. This necessary precaution ensures the safety of the installation process and the surrounding environment.
The BC-Wind offshore wind farm will consist of 26 SG 14-236 turbines, each capable of being boosted to 15 MW. Siemens Gamesa will carry out the turbine transport and assembly project at the wind farm in 2028.
Cadeler, the company responsible for the transportation and installation of turbines, will utilize one of its O-class wind turbine installation vessels for the project. The operation will take place from the Port of Gdańsk in Poland.
Once fully completed, BC-Wind will have a total capacity of up to 390 MW, capable of supplying clean electricity to nearly half a million Polish households. This development is a significant step towards Poland's goal of becoming a leading player in the European offshore wind energy market.
The signing of the firm contract follows a vessel reservation agreement signed between Cadeler and Ocean Winds in February 2025, marking a milestone in the partnership between the two companies. The BC-Wind offshore wind farm is a project by Ocean Winds, a joint venture between EDPR and ENGIE.
