Poland’s PGE Group has received five seabed permits from the Polish Ministry of Infrastructure to develop offshore wind projects in Poland’s Baltic Sea totalling a capacity of 3.9 GW. The awarded permits pertain to the areas 43.E.1 (potential capacity of 990 MW, area of 118 km2); 44.E.1 (975 MW, 121km2); 60.E.3 (1,185 MW, 143 km2); 60.E.4 (555 MW, 77 km2) and 45.E.1 (210 MW, 17 km2).
PGE Group is currently preparing to build offshore wind parks in the Baltic Sea with a total capacity of 3.4 GW, notably the Baltica 2 project (1.5 GW) and the Baltica 3 project (1 GW). The company plans to build 6.5 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2040.
As of end-2022, Poland did not yet have any offshore wind capacity but had over 8 GW of onshore wind capacity, which represented over 13% of the country’s total installed capacity. Poland currently has nearly 1 GW of wind capacity under construction and over 18 GW under development.
