Van Oord has been contracted for the construction of the Baltica 2 Offshore Wind Farm, developed by Ørsted and PGE. The wind farm is located 40 kilometres offshore in the Polish area of the Baltic Sea. The company will transport and install 111 extended monopiles, of which 107 will serve as foundations for wind turbines and the other 4 as foundations for offshore substations.
Furthermore, the company will deploy offshore installation vessel Aeolus and heavy-lift installation vessel Svanen on this project. The wind farm has a production capacity of 1.5 GW which will produce enough green energy to cover the power consumption of approximately 2.4 million Polish households.
In November 2023, Van Oord secured two offshore wind projects: Baltic Power in the Baltic Sea and Greater Changhua 2b and 4 in Taiwan. The contracts have a total worth of more than €500 million. The two offshore wind farms are expected to supply about 2.5 million households with renewable energy when they are fully operational.
