Acteon, through its geo-services business line UTEC, has been awarded a structural monitoring contract on the Baltica 2 offshore wind project – set to become the largest offshore wind in the Polish Baltic Sea.
Jointly developed by Ørsted and Polska Grupa Energetyczna, the project will feature 107 turbines and have capacity to produce 1.5GW of power.

Completion of the project is scheduled for the end of 2027.
Ørsted has enlisted Acteon for the design, engineering, procurement, installation and commissioning of measurement and related data acquisition technologies for Baltica 2.
The project will encompass campaigns to assess a range of data essential for maintaining the structural integrity of the Baltica wind turbines.
This includes environmental and metocean [a portmanteau of “meteorology” and “oceanography” that refers to the study of the combined effects of atmospheric and oceanographic conditions on a particular location, including wind, waves, currents, and water levels] data, as well as information on settlement, load and acceleration, corrosion and anode efficiency.

By GlobalDataAll this data will be integrated in real-time via Acteon’s NX2 digital platform, ensuring a smooth and synchronised transition from sensor to desktop for the client.
Acteon will carry out the project-based systems integration and software development at its Technology Centre in Wokingham, UK.
The installation will be carried out in construction yards in Poland and other European sites.
UTEC geo-services executive vice-president Paul Smith stated: “The Baltica 2 contract is another significant testament to our capabilities to support the global offshore energy industry. We are proud to be leading the data-driven part of such an important energy transition project.”
In January 2025, Ørsted and PGE took the final investment decision on the Baltic 2 project.
In February, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development provided a €200m ($206.9m) loan to support its construction.
