Hitachi Energy to offer solutions to 1.44 GW offshore wind farms

Hitachi Energy bagged two orders from Equinor and Polenergia to provide an AC grid connection and power quality solutions for their jointly-owned MFW Baltyk II and MFW Baltyk III offshore wind farms. The farms with a combined capacity of 1,440 MW are located in the Polish sector of the Baltic Sea. Hitachi will provide both farms with an offshore grid connection that will receive the power from the wind turbines and transfer it to the shore. The two wind farms are awaiting a final investment decision which is scheduled for 2024 and are expected to start producing power in 2027. The farms will be one of the first offshore wind projects in Poland and part of the country’s program to develop its offshore wind potential which will help increase the use of renewables in its power mix, which is currently dominated by coal.
