Smulders announced via social media that it has successfully completed loading the first transition pieces (TP) to be installed at the Baltic Power offshore wind farm, Poland’s first.
This 1.2 GW project, a collaboration between Orlen and Northland Power, will mark a turning point in renewable energy production in the Baltic region.
Loading the pieces
The first transition pieces, weighing 350 tons and measuring 27 meters in height, were loaded at Smulders’ shipyard in Newcastle, UK, in January 2025. These pieces are critical to the offshore wind farm ‘s infrastructure, which will play a key role in generating clean energy for Poland and the surrounding region.

Smulders, an international company specializing in industrial construction and offshore wind energy projects, is responsible for supplying a total of 76 transition pieces for this project under a contract signed with Baltic Power in 2023.
About the Baltic Power offshore wind farm
The development of Baltic Power represents a significant technical and logistical achievement for Smulders; it also underscores Poland’s role in the transformation of its energy sector. With a generating capacity of 1.2 GW, the wind farm will mark a significant step forward in the drive for clean energy in the Baltic region.
This development comes at a time when offshore wind energy is gaining increasing importance globally, and the Baltic Power offshore wind farm is emerging as one of Europe’s most significant projects in terms of innovation and generating capacity.
With the first transition pieces loaded, the Baltic Power project is moving steadily toward completion. The pieces are expected to be installed in the Baltic Sea in the coming months, marking a milestone in the development of Poland’s offshore energy infrastructure. The stakeholders involved, including Orlen, Northland Power, and Smulders, continue to work closely to carry out this pioneering project, which will significantly contribute to the region’s energy sustainability goals.
