Equinor as well as companion Polenergia have actually chosen Siemens Gamesa as the favored vendor of wind generator generators for the MFW Ba łtyk II as well as MFW Ba łtyk III jobs, 2 of the biggest as well as most sophisticated overseas wind ranches being established in Poland, with a complete mounted ability of 1440 MW.
The finalizing of the favored vendor contract is a crucial turning point for the MFW Ba łtyk II as well as MFW Ba łtyk III jobs. It is an essential action in the direction of providing on the jobs’ objective of offering overseas wind power as a substantial component of the Polish power makeover.
“Selecting the preferred turbine supplier, we reach another milestone, moving our projects forward and bringing the best technologies into the Polish market and its offshore wind industry development. Our goal is to execute these projects in a way that brings this competitive source of clean and renewable energy to Poland, based on leading solutions. We believe this cooperation with Siemens Gamesa will accelerate further the progress of our projects that can bring several opportunities for the Polish market and Polish companies to be included in the local supply chain,” claims Micha ł Ko łodziejczyk, nation supervisor of Equinor in Poland.
Under the introduced bargain Siemens Gamesa will certainly provide its front runner design SG 14-236 DD overseas wind generator to cover the optimum incorporated ability of both jobs. The generator has 14 MW small power as well as can rise to 15 MW ability with Power Boost.
This is Siemens Gamesa’s biggest straight drive offshore wind generator as well as it will certainly have been running readily for a number of years when mounted on Equinor as well as Polenergia’s jobs. The specific variety of equipments stays to be figured out at a later stage of the advancement upon finishing the last generator supply contract as well as solution as well as service warranty arrangements.
“We are very pleased to select the turbine supplier for two of Poland’s first offshore wind power projects. The delivery of wind turbine generators is the largest contract for the projects, and we have secured an experienced supplier with a proven track record of deliveries to Equinor. We have selected a wind turbine that is the best solution for the overall business case and we look forward to further maturing the projects in collaboration with Siemens Gamesa,” claims Mette H. Ott øy, Equinor’s principal purchase police officer.
With the big contemporary wind generators chosen for the Equinor as well as Polenergia jobs, one turning of the blades at complete tons will provide adequate electrical power for one ordinary family in Poland for 4 days. When one generator is going for complete tons, it will just take 10 mins to create the electrical power required to power one standard Polish family for one year.
“We effectively secure the supply of key products and services required to implement Baltic investments. We develop our projects on the basis of the best practices known from other European countries and draw on the experience of other offshore energy investments. This allows for a smooth process of obtaining the necessary permits and significantly increases the degree of advancement of these projects. We believe that our offshore wind farms will provide clean, green energy for millions of Polish households by 2027”– cases Micha ł Michalski,Ph D., head of state of the Management Board of Polenergia.
The incorporated ability of both jobs amounts to 1440 MW which is a considerable component of the very first stage of Polish offshore wind sector advancement system with a complete ability of 5900 MW. MFW Ba łtyk II as well as III were granted Contracts for Difference (CfDs) in May 2021 by Poland’s Energy Regulatory Office (ERO). The jobs lie in the Baltic Sea, around 27 as well as 40 kilometers from the port of Łeba where Equinor has actually obtained a story for its future procedures as well as upkeep (O&M) base port.
The last financial investment choice for both jobs goes through acquiring the needed authorizations as well as is prepared for 2024 with the very first power supplied to the grid in 2027.
