POLAND - This should be the largest operation of its kind in the Polish offshore wind industry.

Siemens Gamesa has announced that they will be joining forces with RWE to accelerate offshore wind growth in Poland after having been selected as RWE's preferred supplier for their F.E.W. Baltic II offshore wind project. The 350 MW wind farm is intended to utilize 25 of Siemens Gamesa's offshore wind turbines. Subject to the final investment decision, construction works could commence as early as 2024. Once fully operational, F.E.W. Baltic II should contribute to Poland's energy transition by producing enough green electricity to supply the equivalent needs of around 350,000 Polish households.

"With selecting Siemens Gamesa as a preferred supplier, we have passed the next milestone on the way to realising our first Polish offshore wind farm. With our F.E.W. Baltic II project, we will accelerate the development of the local supply chain and contribute significantly to the education of future workforces," explains Sven Utermöhlen, CEO of Offshore Wind at RWE Renewables.

According to Siemens Gamesa, to support the realization of RWE's F.E.W. Baltic II and various future offshore projects the new Siemens Gamesa Baltic Sea Offshore Execution center would consist of more than 150 experts. This should be the largest operation of its kind in the Polish offshore wind industry.
