Canadian utility Northland Power and Polish refiner PKN Orlen have chosen Vestas as preferred supplier for their joint 1.2GW Baltic Power offshore wind project in Poland.

Vestas is slated to provide 76 of its V236-15.0MW turbines for the project some 23km off the Baltic Sea coast near Łeba.

“We are very proud to collaborate with PKN Orlen and Northland Power on this landmark project for Poland, which has progressed thanks to all involved actors, including the Polish authorities,” said Nils de Baar, president of Vestas Northern & Central Europe.
