Commercial Operations Full Power

Full commercial operations of the 390 MW BC-Wind project (26 × Siemens Gamesa SG 14-236, Power Boost to 15 MW) projected for 2029. Year-precision projection is an editorial assumption — Ocean Winds' developer materials, the EIB press release, and the Engie financial-close announcement all give "first power 2028" but no separate COD date. The anchor for 2029 is the Cadeler firm contract scope verbatim: turbine transport-and-installation campaign starts 2028 and runs approximately 4 months, which puts the last of the 26 turbines commissioned in mid-to-late 2028; full COD (entry into commercial service at the 390 MW intended capacity, distinct from first power) typically follows by 3-6 months of commissioning runway, landing in 2029. For a single-campaign 26-turbine project, COD can be tight to first power, so 2028 is also defensible; 2029 year is conservative and matches the project's published "first power 2028" anchor at the following calendar year. Reference deadline: Polish Offshore Wind Promotion Act 2020 Art. 28 sets a 7-year first-power deadline from CfD award (CfD awarded 1 Jul 2021 → mid-2028 deadline) — the legal ceiling on first power, not COD.
