ArcelorMittal has announced that its partnership with Danish wind turbine manufacturer Vestas to produce low-carbon steel will see the first delivery of recycled, renewably produced XCarb heavy plate for the Baltic Power offshore wind farm project in Poland.

Vestas will begin construction of the Baltic Power offshore wind farm in 2025. The wind farm is expected to generate some 1.2 GW of power, eventually providing clean electricity to more than 1.5 million homes in Poland.

Vestas will supply, install and commission 76 V236-15.0 MW wind turbines for the Baltic Power project. Of these 76 wind turbines, 52 will be made from low-carbon steel.

'The partnership with Vestas sends a strong message that it is possible today to start building the necessary renewable energy infrastructure in Europe, with low-carbon steel manufactured with a European supply chain', commented Laurent Plasman, Marketing Director at ArcelorMittal Europe - Flat Products.
