The BC-Wind offshore windfarm is to be constructed over an area of approximately 90 square kilometres, located within Poland’s Baltic Sea Exclusive Economic Zone, approximately 23 kilometres offshore from the Polish coastline, north of the Pomeranian Province. It will include 26 Siemens Gamesa SG 14-236 wind turbine generators (WTGs), which are capable of being boosted to 15 MW. Once completed, BC-Wind will have a total capacity of up to 390 MW, enough renewable electricity to power approximately 488,000 households.

ABL’s scope of work is to provide MWS services to support transportation and tnstallation (T&I) activities for all assets including the WTGs, inter array cables, monopile foundations, transition pieces, export cable and offshore substation. The scope also includes the delivery of vessel suitability surveys and assurance for the proposed fleet, technical review of project documentation throughout the development phase and construction phases, and on-site surveillance of onshore and offshore marine operations throughout project execution, which is planned from 2026 to 2028.
“The BC-Wind project represents a significant step in Poland’s renewable energy development. Following ABL’s appointment to support the country’s Baltica-2 offshore windfarm, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to contribute to the delivery of another critical energy infrastructure project, and expand ABL’s presence in Poland”, says Will Philbedge, operations manager for ABL Germany.
ABL Germany has been awarded the contract and will manage the delivery of the project with the support of ABL’s local, regional and global renewables MWS expertise. This includes support from ABL Group’s in-country presence in Gdansk and Warsaw.
ABL is part of Oslo-listed consultancy ABL Group ASA, which delivers energy, marine, engineering and digital solutions to the renewables, maritime and oil and gas industries in more than 44 countries worldwide.
