ARKANSAS, Sept 29 (Future Headlines)- Vestas, a global leader in sustainable energy solutions, has taken a monumental step in advancing Poland’s renewable energy landscape. The company has secured a firm order for a staggering 1,140 megawatts (MW) from Baltic Power Sp. z o.o. z o.o, a joint venture between ORLEN S.A. and Northland Power Inc., for the Baltic Power offshore wind farm in Poland. This project represents a historic leap in Poland’s transition toward sustainable energy sources.

Under the terms of this significant agreement, Vestas will undertake the supply, installation, and commissioning of 76 V236-15.0 MW wind turbines specifically designed for the Baltic Power project. Furthermore, Vestas will provide ongoing service and maintenance for these turbines under a 15-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement, ensuring the optimal performance and longevity of these assets.

Vestas, ORLEN, and Northland Power share a common vision for Poland’s energy transition, centered around the proliferation of renewable energy sources. The Baltic Power project, set in the Baltic Sea marks a significant milestone in this journey. The choice of Vestas’ V236-15.0 MW turbines reflects the commitment to deploying cutting-edge technology for this ambitious undertaking. These turbines are emblematic of world-class engineering and have been chosen to power the largest wind project ever realized in Poland.

Nils de Baar, President of Vestas Northern & Central Europe, expressed his enthusiasm for this historic collaboration, stating, “Vestas, ORLEN, and Northland Power share a common vision for the energy transition in Poland, and we are very pleased to offer our wind turbines and know-how for this historic project in the Baltic Sea.”

The Baltic Power project is a testament to the collaborative efforts of multiple stakeholders working together to shape Poland’s renewable energy future. Here are some essential details about this landmark endeavor:
