OEG Renewables’ Hughes Subsea Wins Baltic Power Contract

OEG Energy Group, a leading energy solutions business, has announced that OEG Renewables’ business Hughes Subsea was awarded a contract with Baltic Power for boulder clearance during the construction phase of the Baltic Power offshore wind farm.

Commencing in October 2024, this is expected to be a 70-day project utilizing the Northern Victoria, a 75-meter offshore support vessel currently on charter to Hughes Subsea. The Northern Victoria was mobilized from the Port of Aberdeen in early October and will operate out of Gdynia for the duration of the project.

The offshore operations will involve the identification, investigation, and relocation of boulders across an area of approximately 130 km2, preparing the site for installation of wind turbines. Hughes Subsea will deploy its Subsea Multi-Tool (SMT) ROV with specialist engineers and WROV team to enable precise target identification and removal. The cutting-edge SMT-ROV has been mobilized to operate through the vessel moonpool to increase workability, especially throughout the winter months. During the first week the Hughes Subsea team has identified and relocated 800 targets. 

OEG Renewables business GEOSIGHT is supporting the work scope with their experienced team of survey personnel, providing vessel and subsea positioning during the project alongside conducting reporting and final project deliverables.

The Baltic Power offshore wind farm, located 23 km off the northern coast of Poland, will comprise of 76 wind turbines, each with a generating capacity of 15 MW. Baltic Power is the most advanced offshore wind farm construction project in the Polish Exclusive Economic Zone in the Baltic Sea, with a maximum generating capacity of 1.2 GW once complete.

Mike Bailey, Managing Director of Hughes Subsea said: “We are delighted that our client Baltic Power has trusted Hughes Subsea to perform the site preparation works, which is our first project in the Baltic region. We have immediately started to repay that trust with an expedient and safe mobilization, the project team and vessel crew have come together well and are delivering industry leading results in the first week. At Hughes Subsea and OEG Renewables we are committed to delivering safety, quality and value to all our stakeholders.”
