Polenergia and Equinor once again took part in the Łeba Festival

During the three days of celebration of the 667th anniversary of granting city rights to Łeba, there was plenty of sunshine, holiday atmosphere, and numerous guests visiting the company stand of Polenergia and Equinor, investors who jointly implement offshore wind farm projects at the height of Łeba. In the port, on the site of the former shipyard, Equinor will build a service base to service them.

Here, in Łeba, a wind farm control and servicing center, a spare parts warehouse, office rooms and a quay for mooring vessels will be built. About 100 specialists will find long-term employment in the service base, responsible for the technical maintenance  of equipment and infrastructure at sea, as well as for supporting their operation from land.  In addition to new jobs, the investment will create an opportunity for the development of the region and local companies.

This year, Polenergia and Equinor prepared demonstrations and training in first aid for residents and tourists. Paramedics demonstrated how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation for adults, children, and infants, and how to act in the event of choking, hemorrhage, or other emergencies.  The second attraction, which was very popular, was a bicycle, with the help of which visitors could prepare a healthy and tasty fruit drink with the strength of their muscles. There were also competitions with prizes, a wheel of fortune, and for the youngest – coloring books, wind puzzles, and workshops on building models of wind turbines.

As always, representatives of Polenergia and Equinor have prepared a package of information on the dynamically developing offshore wind energy industry and the Baltic projects implemented by the companies. Many visitors were interested in the benefits of the investment for the region, the technical details, the construction schedule, and career prospects in the offshore wind industry.

On the main street in Łeba, there is the Baltic Offshore Wind Farm Information Centre, which is the first year-round information and education point on offshore wind energy. Polenergia and Equinor are jointly developing three offshore wind farm projects Bałtyk 1, Bałtyk 2, and Bałtyk 3, with a total capacity of up to 3 GW, which will supply over 4 million households with renewable energy. The farms will be located at the height of Łeba, at a distance of 22 km to approx. 80 km from the coastline.
