Poland's infrastructure ministry has announced a tender for the reconstruction of the breakwater at the Baltic port of Leba, aimed at developing a service terminal for offshore wind farms.
Deputy Minister Arkadiusz Marchewka highlighted that funding from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (KPO), recently unblocked by the government, will facilitate the accelerated development of wind energy in the Baltic Sea.
The port of Leba is set to service the Baltic Power offshore wind farm, a collaborative venture between Poland's PKN Orlen and Canada's Northland Power. Additionally, it has been designated as a base for several offshore projects, including Baltyk 1, Baltyk 2, and Baltyk 3, developed by Polenergia of Poland and Equinor from Norway. Equinor had previously acquired a site at the port in 2021 for its operations.
Consultancy Collect Consulting is preparing application documentation for the offshore service terminal project in Leba at the request of the Maritime Office in Gdynia.
The estimated project cost is PLN 232 million (approximately USD 58 million or EUR 53 million), focusing on port reconstruction to facilitate its use as an installation terminal for offshore wind projects.
