Northland, Orlen say first power generated at Poland wind farm By Amanda Stephenson
CALGARY, July 10 (Reuters) - Canada's Northland Power NPI.TO and its partner, Polish multinational Orlen PKN.WA, said on Friday the first electricity has been generated at their Baltic Power project, which is Poland's first offshore wind farm.
Here are more details from company statements:
The 1.1 gigawatt project is located about 23 km (14 miles) off the Polish coast near Choczewo and Leba, and spans 130 square km of the Baltic Sea.
It is expected to produce enough electricity annually to power 1.5 million Polish households.
The project is 49% owned by Northland and 51% by Orlen, and in 2023 was estimated to cost about €4.73 billion ($5.41 billion)
Offshore installation and commissioning activities continue, with 54 of the project’s 76 turbines installed.
The project is expected to be fully operational in the second half of 2026.
