The 1.2 GW Baltic Power wind farm will consist of 76, V236-15.0 MW offshore wind turbines which will supply power to around 1.5 million homes in Poland. Fifty-two of the towers will utilise the low carbon-emissions steel. “Heavy plates for towers are one of the biggest contributors to Vestas’ Scope 3 emissions,” notes Dieter Dehoorne, Head of Global Procurement at Vestas. “So they are a key focus of our sustainability transformation as a company and this announcement is a massive leap towards tackling this challenge. We expect the interest in low carbon-emissions plates to grow in the coming years.”
