Ocean Winds has achieved a crucial breakthrough in its BC-Wind project, an offshore wind offshore wind farm located in the Baltic Sea. The company, formed by EDP Renováveis and ENGIE, received environmental authorization for the transmission infrastructure that will connect the wind farm to Poland’s National Electric System.
The environmental impact report, prepared by MEWO together with Geomor and Marea Sp. z o.o., was critical to this approval. The document comprehensively detailed both the onshore and offshore components of the project. In addition, archaeological studies of the seabed were conducted to ensure the feasibility of the subsea cabling.
BC-Wind drives Poland’s energy transition
This project represents a step forward in Poland’s energy transition and marks the beginning of a series of developments the company has planned for the Baltic Sea. With a planned capacity of up to 500 MW, BC-Wind will make a significant contribution to the reduction of emissions and the supply of clean energy. to the supply of clean energy in the region. in the region.
Onshore works are scheduled to begin in the second half of 2025, using advanced techniques such as horizontal directional drilling (HDD) to minimize the environmental impact and ensure the connection between the submarine and land cables.
With this approval, Ocean is approaching the final investment decision phase, which is expected by the end of 2024. The BC-Wind project project is emerging as an essential pillar in Poland’s renewable energy strategy, aligning with global targets for emissions reduction and clean energy generation.
