The cable division of Cenergy, Hellenic Cables has secured a contract to supply inter-array cables for the Bałtyk II and Bałtyk III offshore wind farms in Poland.
The cables will be integral in connecting the turbines at the two wind farms, which are being developed by a partnership between Equinor and Polenergia.
Hellenic Cables has been selected by Seaway7, a key subcontractor for the projects.
It will oversee the design, manufacture, testing and supply of 205km of 66kV submarine inter-array cables and accompanying accessories.
Spanning areas of 122km² and 117km², respectively, the Bałtyk II and III wind farms will be located 27km and 40km from the Polish coast in the south-western Baltic Sea.
They will operate in water depths from 20m to 45m.
Hellenic Cables will produce the submarine cables at its facility in Corinth, Greece, with delivery scheduled for the first half of 2026.
Cenergy Holdings CEO Alexis Alexiou stated: “We are very honoured [by] this new contract award by Seaway 7, where we will deliver the inter-array cable systems for Bałtyk II and III offshore wind projects.
“We are enthusiastic and look forward to delivering the project safely and supporting the energy transition in the Baltic region.”
Seaway7 project manager Tom Rijnders stated: “Seaway7 is pleased to confirm that we have awarded the supply of inter-array cables for the Bałtyk II and Bałtyk III offshore wind farms to Hellenic Cables. We are delighted to be working with Hellenic Cables once again, following our successful collaboration on previous offshore wind projects.
“This contract award reflects our confidence in Hellenic Cables’ expertise and capabilities, and we look forward to advancing this project together.”
The developers Equinor and Polenergia began their cooperation on the wind farms back in 2018.
They have formed two joint venture entities, MFW Bałtyk II and MFW Bałtyk III, which they co-own.
The start of construction is contingent on the necessary permits and is scheduled for 2026–27, with initial power delivery to the grid projected for 2027.
The two wind farms will generate 1.44GW, enough to supply electricity to two million households.
