Poland's PGE sees no risk of delay in Siemens Gamesa turbine supply deal

WARSAW, June 27 (Reuters) - Poland's largest utility PGE SA said on Tuesday it saw no risk to timely deliveries of Siemens Gamesa wind turbines for the offshore farm in the Baltic set for commissioning in 2027.

Troubles at Siemens Gamesa do not concern turbines already installed at wind farms owned by PGE, the company said.

Last week, Siemens Energy unveiled issues at Siemens Gamesa more recent onshore wind turbine models, including faulty components and possible design flaws, that caused its shares to plummet by more than 37%.

In April, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy agreed to tie up with PGE and Denmark's Orsted to supply 107 wind turbines for the Baltica 2 offshore wind project in the Baltic Sea.

"Currently, there are no indications that there will be delays in the delivery schedule of 107 wind turbines for Baltica 2," PGE spokesman Konrad Mroz said in a response to Reuters questions.

"The problems indicated in the media coverage do not apply to wind turbines installed on farms owned by PGE."
