Eia Submitted

On 2 June 2022 the Bałtyk III project company submitted a new Decyzja środowiskowa (DŚU) application to the Regional Directorate for Environmental Protection, covering the shared grid-connection infrastructure for the Bałtyk II and Bałtyk III offshore wind farms. The application was triggered by significant modifications to the connection infrastructure as the project matured, particularly on the onshore section including spatial route changes for the export cable corridor and onshore substation locations. This filing is distinct from the September 2019 EIA submission (which covered the Bałtyk III wind farm turbines following turbine-parameter changes) and from the November 2022 amended decision (which closed the wind-farm DŚU loop). The connection-infrastructure DŚU procedure ran in parallel and underpinned the export and onshore cable corridor design that subsequently fed into the procurement awards to Hellenic Cables/Jan De Nul (export), Tele-Fonika Kable (onshore cables), ENPROM (cable corridor preparation), Hanab and ZRB Janicki (HDD landfall). Sister project Baltica 3 records its own connection-infrastructure DŚU as a separate eia_approved event under the same PL routing convention.
