MFW Bałtyk I, the joint venture of Equinor and Polenergia, has concluded a connection agreement with the Polish power transmission system operator PSE for their 1,560MW Bałtyk I offshore wind project located near Łeba off the coast of the Baltic Sea (Poland). The two companies plan to develop two other offshore wind projects rated 720 MW each: Bałtyk II that is due to produce first power in 2027, and Bałtyk III that will enter production in 2025. Bałtyk I is due to be commissioned after Bałtyk II.
In January 2021, PSE also signed grid connection agreements with RWE for its 350 MW FEW Baltic II offshore wind project, with PGE for its 1,498 MW Elektrownia Wiatrowa Baltica-2 offshore wind project and with PKN Orlen for its 1.2 GW Baltic Power offshore wind project located off the coast of Łeba and Choczewo. According to Poland's Energy Policy until 2040, 5.9 GW of new offshore wind capacity should be commissioned in the Baltic Sea by 2030 and 8 to 11 GW by 2040.
