Each wind farm will have a generation capacity of 720 megawatts, with a combined project cost of approximately 6.4 billion euros ($7.20 billion). The facilities are expected to begin producing electricity in 2027, with full completion anticipated by 2028. Polenergia stated: “These wind farms will contribute significantly to Poland’s renewable energy goals.”
The projects are part of a broader effort involving investors such as PGE, Orlen, Equinor, and Orsted, who are collectively developing 6 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity along Poland’s coast, set to be operational by 2030. Additional auctions for further projects are scheduled for 2025. According to the Polish Wind Energy Association, the Baltic Sea holds an estimated offshore wind potential of up to 33 gigawatts.
The development aligns with Poland’s commitment to enhancing its renewable energy infrastructure. Polenergia noted: “This investment strengthens our position in the transition to sustainable energy sources.” The projects are expected to play a key role in meeting regional energy demands through clean power generation.
