Offshore construction activities for the Bałtyk 2 wind farm commenced in January 2026 with the launch of the subsea rock installation campaign — the first phase of the offshore installation programme. Specialised vessels began placing rock material on the seabed to protect future export and inter-array cables and turbine foundations against waves and sea currents, with the full programme totalling more than one million tonnes of material across the joint Bałtyk 2 + 3 construction site. The Equinor/Polenergia 30 April 2026 status update confirmed: 'In January 2026 we began the first phase of the offshore installation campaign'. Subsequent foundation, cable and substation installation campaigns will follow through 2026 and 2027, building on this rock-protection foundation. This event marks the formal start of offshore construction activities; the main foundation installation milestone is tracked separately under foundation_installation_start.
