In February 2026, Baltic Power completed installation of all 78 monopile foundations for turbines and offshore substations. The developer reported that the main installation works of all key foundation elements were finished, involving more than 20 vessels and around 500 crew and contractor personnel. The heavy monopiles, weighing 1,300–1,700 tonnes and up to 100 m long, were installed in challenging Baltic Sea conditions using a fleet of specialised lifting and piling vessels, supported by tugboats, crew transfer vessels, environmental monitoring and supply ships. A double bubble curtain was deployed around the installation area to mitigate underwater noise and vibration from piling. This milestone concludes the core offshore foundation campaign, providing the structural base for 76 × 15 MW turbines and two offshore substations across the roughly 130 km² site.
