Norwegian firm scores O&M deal for Poland’s first offshore wind farm

Føn Energy Services Aker-backed Føn Energy Services has signed a multi-year contract for the delivery of integrated O&M services at the Baltic Power offshore wind farm in Poland. The contract is a long-term agreement with extension options, covering the delivery of an integrated balance-of-plant operations and maintenance programme for all subsea assets, including foundations and cables, at the Baltic Power offshore wind farm. The contract also includes an environmental survey scope aimed at monitoring marine growth and animal habits in the area. The programme includes all services for inspection and corrective maintenance of Baltic Power’s subsea assets, covering project management and planning, vessel chartering and management, logistics, engineering, and procurement. Føn Energy Services will be supported by local Polish suppliers in delivering these services. Polish companies are already engaged across the Baltic Power supply chain – the topsides of the offshore substations were built in the shipyards in Gdańsk and Gdynia, onshore cables were delivered from the factory in Bydgoszcz, and parts of the foundations arrived from Żary and Niemodlin. The local content level for Baltic Power is expected to exceed 21% over the project’s lifetime, in line with the Polish Sector Deal guidelines of 20-30% for phase I projects, with phase II projects expected to reach 40-50%. The Baltic Power project is a joint venture between ORLEN and Northland Power. It is the most advanced offshore wind project in Poland and the first to reach the construction phase. The 1.2GW offshore wind farm is expected to ultimately supply clean electricity to more than 1.5m households in Poland. In recent years, Føn Energy Services has significantly expanded its portfolio by delivering integrated O&M services to Ocean Winds at the Moray West and Moray East offshore wind farms in Scotland – among the largest offshore wind projects in Europe.
