By late June 2025, installation works for the onshore export cable system serving Bałtyk 2 and Bałtyk 3 had commenced. Equinor and Polenergia reported that construction of the onshore power cable routes was underway along a corridor of approximately 14 km between the landfall near Ustka and the new substations at Pęplin. Near the shoreline, contractors are using horizontal directional drilling (HDD) to create underground passages so the cables can be brought ashore without open trenches, minimising environmental and visual impact on the beach. This marks the formal start of the onshore cable installation campaign needed to transmit electricity from Bałtyk 2 into the Polish transmission grid.
