Wind Energy – BC-Wind OWF
DEME has been awarded three contracts for the installation of monopile foundations, inter-array cables, and the export cable at the BC-Wind offshore wind farm in Poland.
The combined contracts are valued between 150 and 300 million euros.
BC-Wind, developed by international offshore wind company Ocean Winds, is located approximately 23 km off the Polish Baltic Sea coast.
With a planned capacity of up to 390 MW, the wind farm will generate enough clean electricity to power around 500,000 households each year.
DEME will use its offshore installation vessel, the Orion, to install 27 monopile foundations: 26 for the wind turbines and one for the offshore substation (OSS).
The inter-array and export cable contracts cover the full scope from engineering through to installation. The export cable contract will be carried out in a consortium with Hellenic Cables.
DEME will deploy its cable installation vessels Living Stone and Viking Neptun for the works.
With financial close now complete, the installation works are scheduled for 2027 and 2028. These contracts build on DEME’s long-standing partnership with Ocean Winds, which has delivered results across multiple European offshore wind projects, including Moray East and Moray West in Scotland and the Dieppe-Le Tréport and Noirmoutier offshore wind farms in France.
“We are proud to contribute to Poland’s offshore wind ambitions and to continue our collaboration with Ocean Winds,” said Hugo Bouvy, Managing Director DEME Offshore Energy.
“This project builds on a proven partnership where our teams have consistently delivered complex offshore wind scopes together. With BC-Wind, we aim to bring the same level of precision, reliability, and shared commitment to Poland’s energy transition.”
“With financial close now completed, we are pleased to see the BC-Wind project progressing to the installation phase,” commented Pete Geddes, BC-Wind Project Director, Ocean Winds. “DEME’s expertise in foundation and cable installation will be key to delivering this 390 MW offshore wind farm safely, efficiently, and on schedule, supporting Poland’s energy transition.”
The BC-Wind contract awards marks DEME’s second offshore wind project in Poland, following its earlier involvement in the Baltic Power wind farm where the company is delivering both export and inter-array cable scopes, further expanding its role in the country’s offshore wind development.
