Inauguration of production at Smulders' Polish facilities for the Bałtyk 2 and Bałtyk 3 projects

In mid-January, a meeting was held in Żary to mark the beginning of production by Smulders Projects Poland for the joint project of Equinor and Polenergia - the construction of the Bałtyk 2 and Bałtyk 3 offshore wind farms.

Production began at Smulders Projects Poland's Polish plants in Żary, Łęknica and Niemodlin on January 20th and is scheduled to be completed in 2026. The company will produce a total of 100 transition elements connecting the foundation (monopile) to the wind turbine tower.

This is an important day for local content in the project. It shows that both Polish players and Polish manufacturing plants of foreign companies play an important role in the offshore supply chain.

The offshore wind farms Bałtyk 2 and Bałtyk 3, with a total capacity of 1440 MW, will be able to supply more than 2 million households with green energy.

The projects are located in the Polish Exclusive Economic Zone of the Baltic Sea, between 22 and 37 km from the coastline.

The first energy from the Bałtyk 2 and Bałtyk 3 projects is expected to flow into the grid as early as 2027. The commercial phase of their operation is planned from 2028.
