The construction project in Szczecin is a further milestone in developing the offshore wind energy sector in Poland. PORR CEO Karl-Heinz Strauss sees high demand: “The need for alternative energies in Europe is huge and continues to grow. And so it’s imperative that the appropriate infrastructure is expanded. We are proud to contribute to that with the construction of this plant”.
The plant, which is being built on a 17-hectare site in the port of Szczecin, will manufacture towers, masts and foundations for the next generation of wind turbines. The most important part of the factory is the main building; with a total area of more than 47,000m2, it will house four production lines for wind turbine towers along with a warehouse for the necessary raw materials. An additional, smaller building is planned for the assembly of the internal components. A total of more than 3 hectares of land will be developed for storage areas, along with access roads and parking for 100 vehicles. PORR will complete the work within 18 months.
Installation terminal in Świnoujście
PORR is a major player in the expansion of offshore wind energy in Poland. In Świnoujście, for example, it is building the hydrotechnical section of a pioneering installation terminal that will service Polish wind farms in the Baltic Sea. Scheduled to open in 2025, it will be the first terminal of its kind in Poland and one of the most advanced in Europe.
