CRIST Offshore will develop a complete design, construct and launch an offshore power station. CRIST Offshore is a Tier 1 supplier on the offshore market, which means it occupies the highest level in the supply chain of high-quality products. The offshore power station will transmit energy from the BC-Wind wind farm. This is an investment by Ocean Winds.

The offshore power station will have a power transformer, converting energy from 66kV to 275kV and an emergency power source, fire protection and ventilation systems, security systems. The station will be unmanned. The service will come to it to perform maintenance work and necessary repairs. The entire structure has dimensions of 30 x 20 x 20 meters. The station will weigh about 2 thousand tons. The power station has five decks: technical, cable, main, first and roof. The roof deck can service from a helicopter without the need for landing.

Andrzej Czech, member of the board of CRIST Offshore said: “construction will start with the so-called Notice to Proceed. This will be the fourth quarter of 2025 or early 2026. CRIST Offshore is focused on preparing all necessary design works.” CRIST Offshore is a subsidiary of CRIST, a member of the Baltic Sea and Space Cluster.

The entire potential supply chain for CRIST Offshore is practically ready. 70% of supplies and production will be provided by companies from Poland – informs CRSIT. “We conducted the entire project evaluation process at an early stage. We checked the competences and analyzed previous implementations and the ability to safely and on time production. On this basis, we selected the contractor,” said Dan Finch, Ocean Winds Country Manager for Poland. He assured that Ocean Winds cares about Polish local content, but it must also be economically viable.

BC-Wind is an offshore wind farm project located approximately 23 km north of the Polish coast (approx. 120 km from Gdańsk), in the Pomeranian Voivodeship. The project involves the construction of an offshore wind farm with a capacity of 390 MW. The total area of ​​the wind farm will be 90.94 km².
