The Supplier Day, organised by Equinor and Polenergia in the formula of meetings of the main supplier with Polish sub-suppliers, has already become a cyclical event. The previous meeting – organised in cooperation with Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, which is the preferred supplier of turbines for Bałtyk II and III projects – attracted over 100 domestic companies to Gdańsk.

The Supplier Day take is a part of signature Five Flagship Programmes of Equinor and Polenergia. One of them – the Contractual Commitment Package – is meant to directly engage the main suppliers (Tier 1) from the supply chain in actions aimed at development of the Polish off-shore wind energy sector and its competitiveness.
The task of another programme – Information and Promotion Centre – is to ensure access to project information necessary for preparation for participation in a supply chain, conducting a dialogue with the suppliers, promoting Polish companies and initiation of actions for the sake of increased participation of Polish suppliers and sub-suppliers in the supply chain for the off-shore wind farms.
Equinor and Polenergia are working on three off-shore wind farm projects in the Polish part of the Baltic Sea – Bałtyk I, II and Bałtyk III, with a total capacity of approx. 3 GW. The most advanced projects, Bałtyk II and Bałtyk III, which will be located at the height of Łeba at a distance of 37 and 22 km from the coast line, will generate electricity already in 2027. The third wind farm, Bałtyk I, with a capacity of 1.56 GW, which is going to be built in the second stage of development of the Polish off-shore wind sector, will be located at approx. 81 km from the coast line, also at the height of Łeba.
Bałtyk II and Bałtyk III will be connected to the PSE Słupsk Wierzbięcino power station, while Bałtyk I to the station in Krzemienica nearby. The land corridor of connection infrastructure with a length of approx. 14 km will run through the Ustka and Słupsk communes.
