Updated December 1, 2025 – Ocean Winds’ first offshore wind farm in Poland, BC-Wind has secured €2 billion in project financing, officially greenlighting the construction phase. BC-Wind will feature a 390 MW bottom-fixed wind farm in the Baltic Sea that aims to deliver renewable power to nearly 500,000 Polish households. The farm is located about 23 km off the coast of Pomeranian Voivodeship near the Krokowa-Choczewo municipalities. It will use twenty six 14 MW turbines, and is set for first power delivery by 2028. BC-Wind project construction work will start with the design and development of the onshore substation and export cable route. This will be carried out by the Polish company P&Q and Tele-Fonika Kable in 2026. The €2 billion project financing is also underpinned by domestic supply chain contracts and a substantial backing from the European Investment Bank (EIB).
Cadeler Secures Contract for BC-Wind Offshore Wind Farm Installation in Poland
Reported September 18, 2025 – Cadeler has signed a contract with Ocean Winds for the transportation and installation of 26 Siemens Gamesa 14 MW offshore wind turbines at the BC-Wind offshore wind farm in the Polish Baltic Sea. This agreement follows a Vessel Reservation Agreement (VRA) signed in February 2025 between the two companies.
Project Factsheet
Location: Approximately 23 km from the Polish coastline, north of the Pomeranian Voivodeship
Developer: Ocean Winds (a 50-50 joint venture between EDP Renewables and ENGIE)
Turbine Supplier: Siemens Gamesa 14 MW turbines
Total Capacity: Up to 390 MW
Estimated Completion: 2028
Estimated Electricity Supply: Approximately 488,000 households
Cadeler’s Role in the BC-Wind Offshore Wind Farm
Cadeler will also deploy one of its O-class wind turbine installation vessels for the project. Operations are scheduled to commence from the Port of Gdańsk, Poland, in 2028. They will last for approximately four months.
Project Importance
This project marks Ocean Winds’ first offshore wind initiative in Poland. It is also a significant step in the country’s renewable energy development as it continues to grow its portfolio with wind, solar and battery storage projects. This features the likes of 133 MW Trzebinia BESS project being developed by DRI and Fluence in southern Poland, and the 1 GW Baltic East offshore wind project.
The BC-Wind offshore wind farm also contributes to Poland’s ambitious offshore wind plans. It also continues to strengthen the nation’s position in the European offshore wind market.
Cadeler’s Involvement in Bałtyk II and III Offshore Wind Projects
In addition to the BC-Wind project, Cadeler also secured contracts for the installation of wind turbines at the Bałtyk II and Bałtyk III offshore wind farms in the Polish Baltic Sea. Equinor and Polenergia are developing these projects through a joint venture.
Additionally, Cadeler will utilize both its O-Class and P-Class installation vessels for the transportation and installation of the turbines. Operations are scheduled to commence in 2027, with the projects expected to be operational by 2028. The company also brings extensive experience to the project, having previously collaborated with Equinor on offshore wind initiatives.
The Bałtyk II and III projects are also among the largest offshore wind initiatives in Poland, aligning with the country’s commitment to increasing renewable energy capacity. These projects also contribute to the European Union’s broader energy transition objectives.
