Stage: Under Construction

Expected COD: 2026

Capacity: 1,140 MW

%Owned: 49%

Overview

The Baltic Power offshore wind farm, a joint venture between ORLEN and Northland Power, is the most advanced offshore wind project in Poland and the only one to have reached the construction phase. In 2023, the project received a final investment decision (FID) and financing from 25 international institutions under the project finance model. As of 2023, construction of the farm's onshore infrastructure is underway, with offshore installation work starting in January 2025. Baltic Power will be one of the world's first farm to install 15 MW wind turbines. With scheduled completion in 2026, Baltic Power will be the first Polish offshore wind farm operating in the Baltic Sea. Baltic Power will generate about 4,000 GWh of zero-emission electricity per year, reducing CO² emissions by about 2.8 million tons per year compared to production from conventional sources.
