Installation of the offshore substations for Baltica 2 is scheduled to begin in 2026. Following FID, Ørsted and PGE outlined a construction sequence in which 2026 will see the start of monopile foundation installation, export cable installation, and installation of the offshore substations. Semco Maritime and PTSC Mechanical & Construction are responsible for the design, manufacturing and commissioning of these substations, which will collect power from the 107 Siemens Gamesa turbines and transmit it to shore. Offshore installation will be supported by Van Oord and Seaway7. The 2026 milestone marks the planned start of lifting and installing the substation structures offshore, a critical step in completing the project’s electrical backbone.
