The Polish power transmission system operator PSE has concluded connection agreements with PGE, the developer of the Baltica offshore wind project, allowing the connection of the 1,498 MW Elektrownia Wiatrowa Baltica-2 offshore wind park by March 2028. The two other phases of the 3.4 GW Baltica project, 896 MW Baltica-1 and 1,045 MW Baltica-3 have already secured connection agreements. The Baltica-2 and 3 projects have secured environmental permit and are expected to be commissioned before 2030. Baltica 1 is due to come online after 2030. PGE may sell a 50% stake in the two special purpose vehicles to Ørsted.
In addition, PSE has also signed a grid connection agreement with RWE for the 350 MW FEW Baltic II offshore wind project, which is located 50 kilometres offshore, on the north side of the Slupsk bank area in the central Polish Baltic Sea. In October 2019, RWE entered the Polish offshore wind market with the purchase of four offshore wind projects. Located around the Slupsk bank area, the total production capacity of the four projects reaches 1.5 GW. Construction is expected to start in 2023.
