Equinor as well as companion Polenergia have actually chosen Siemens Gamesa as the recommended provider of wind generator generators for the MFW Ba łtyk II as well as MFW Ba łtyk III tasks, 2 of the biggest as well as most innovative overseas wind ranches being created in Poland, with a complete set up capability of 1440 MW.
The finalizing of the recommended provider arrangement is an essential turning point for the MFW Ba łtyk II as well as MFW Ba łtyk III tasks. It is a crucial action in the direction of providing on the tasks’ objective of offering overseas wind power as a substantial component of the Polish power improvement.
“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 revealed bargain Siemens Gamesa will certainly provide its front runner version SG 14-236 DD overseas wind generator to cover the optimum integrated capability of both tasks. The wind turbine has 14 MW small power as well as can rise to 15 MW capability 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 set up on Equinor as well as Polenergia’s tasks. The specific variety of devices continues to be to be identified at a later stage of the advancement upon finishing the last wind turbine supply arrangement as well as solution as well as guarantee contracts.
“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 modern-day wind generators chosen for the Equinor as well as Polenergia tasks, one turning of the blades at complete lots will provide sufficient electrical power for one typical family in Poland for 4 days. When one wind turbine is going for complete lots, it will just take 10 mins to generate 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”– insurance claims Micha ł Michalski,Ph D., head of state of the Management Board of Polenergia.
The integrated capability of both tasks amounts to 1440 MW which is a significant component of the very first stage of Polish offshore wind market advancement system with a complete capability 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 tasks lie in the Baltic Sea, roughly 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 tasks undergoes getting the required authorizations as well as is prepared for 2024 with the very first power provided to the grid in 2027.
