Føn Energy Services Poland has secured a long-term, multi-million-euro contract with Orlen Group and Northland Power to deliver operations and maintenance (O&M) services for the 1.2 GW Baltic Power offshore wind farm in the Polish Baltic Sea.
Under the agreement, Føn Energy Services will provide a Balance of Plant (BoP) O&M programme for all subsea assets at the offshore wind farm, including foundations and cables. The multi-year contract, with options for extension, also covers environmental monitoring focusing on marine growth and animal habitats.
The scope includes inspection and corrective maintenance services, project management, vessel chartering, logistics, engineering, and procurement. Føn will collaborate with local Polish suppliers for service delivery.
“This contract highlights our ability to deliver integrated services for complex energy projects and marks a significant step in establishing our presence in the Polish market,” said Sindre Rhrich, CEO at Føn Energy Services.
The Baltic Power offshore wind farm, expected to be operational by late 2026, is under construction 23 kilometers off the coast of Choczewo municipality. The project features 76 Vestas V236-15.0 MW wind turbines and two offshore substations, all set on monopile foundations. The installation of wind turbine foundations was completed this year.
Wind turbine installation, which began in July 2025, is nearing completion.
“The establishment of a supply chain for Baltic Power’s O&M phase is unprecedented in the Polish energy sector. With the construction of the O&M base in Łeba, we are creating logistics and maintenance facilities as well as new jobs,” said Maciej Stryjecki, CEO and President of the Management Board of Baltic Power.
“We have signed initial contracts for specialist maintenance services and inspections of underwater infrastructure, geophysical surveys, and maintenance of offshore and onshore substations. Early involvement of Polish companies and research centers boosts local content development in offshore wind energy.”
For Føn, the Baltic Power contract is the latest in a series of O&M agreements for offshore wind farms in the North and Baltic Seas since its establishment in 2022. The company is owned by Norwegian industrial group IKM, DISA International, and Akastor, a part of the Aker Group.
In May, Føn began its busiest offshore wind season, conducting inspection and repair campaigns across 14 offshore wind farms in the Netherlands, Scotland, Germany, and Poland.
Last year, Føn signed a five-year framework agreement with Eneco for six Dutch offshore wind farms and is also working with Vattenfall and Shell at Offshore Windpark Egmond aan Zee (OWEZ), the Netherlands’ first offshore wind farm.
In Scotland, Føn is entering the third year of its inspection programme for Ocean Winds at the Moray East and Moray West projects. The company also commenced work on several projects in the German sectors of the North and Baltic Seas.
