The surveys are being carried out by the British company Gardline Limited and they are planned to be completed in the third quarter of this year.

OW Ocean Winds Polska, part of the joint venture of EDP Renewables and Engie, said that the goal is to develop a detailed plan for the wind turbine foundations and an offshore substation as well as the design of the interconnection and export cables infrastructure.

At the end of last year, the project’s developer appointed UK-based engineering consultancy, Wood Thilsted, as the wind turbine foundation and offshore substation foundation concept designer.
