The Polish oil and gas company PKN Orlen has submitted an environmental report for a 1.2 GW offshore wind project to be developed in the Baltic Sea to the Regional Directorate for Environmental Protection in Gdańsk (Poland). PKN Orlen’s subsidiary Baltic Power holds a licence to construct wind power plants with an aggregate capacity of up to 1.2 GW in an area of approximately 131 km2 off Choczewo and Łeba. The company, which has already secured grid connection conditions, is now seeking an industry partner and technical adviser to carry out the project.
In April 2020, PKN Orlen (27.5% owned by the Polish Treasury) acquired the Polish power company Energa, taking over 80.5% of Energa (51.5% owned by the State of Poland), which is active in power generation (around 1.3 GW of installed capacity), distribution and sales activities. With the planned acquisitions of the oil and gas company PGNiG (71.9% state-owned) and of the the Polish refiner Grupa Lotos, PKN Orlen would create a regional energy player.
