Tele-Fonika Kable and the Industrial Development Agency (ARP) have signed a letter of intent to collaborate on projects aimed at advancing the development of Offshore Wind Energy (OWE). Both parties recognise the significant investment potential and opportunities for joint initiatives to accelerate the growth of Poland’s OWE sector.
The agreement sets out plans for the construction of specialised Cable Laying Vessels (CLVs) designed for the installation and maintenance of subsea cables, which are critical to the operation of offshore wind farms (OWFs). The plans also include the development of support vessels to facilitate servicing and operational activities in the Baltic Sea, as well as in other regions such as the North Sea. The investment will prioritise the use of local resources and expertise (Local Content), enhancing the role of Polish shipyards and domestic businesses in the global supply chain.
The project will be carried out through a special purpose vehicle (SPV) that will oversee the construction of installation and service vessels, ensuring they meet the highest technological standards and align with principles of sustainable development. The collaboration will also involve the exchange of knowledge, data, and analyses to support effective planning and implementation.
The signing of the letter of intent represents a significant step towards building a robust foundation for Poland’s Offshore Wind Energy sector, while strengthening the position of Polish businesses in the global market for specialised maritime services. This partnership is expected to deliver substantial economic and technological benefits, supporting the energy transition and solidifying Poland’s leadership in the renewable offshore energy.
TELE-FONIKA Kable SA (TFKable) is in the world’s list of top European producers of cables and wires with 100% Polish capital, with a significant development potential.
