In 2021, Ocean Winds obtained a permit authorising the laying and maintenance of submarine cables for BC-Wind’s interconnection infrastructure. Granted alongside the submission of the main environmental dossier, this decision covered the subsea cable system linking the offshore wind farm to the onshore grid. The permit allowed the developer to plan and later execute cable installation works within Polish maritime areas, ensuring legal rights to install and operate the export cables required to evacuate power from the BC-Wind project to the National Electricity System. It formed a key regulatory milestone for the project’s transmission route, separate from the environmental decision for the wind farm itself.
