The German energy group RWE has submitted bids for five offshore wind seabed permits with a total capacity of 7.8 GW in the Polish Baltic Sea, which the Government of Poland has opened for a competitive process. The bids include site 44.E1, located directly next to RWE’s 350 MW F.E.W. Baltic II offshore wind project, on which the company wants to develop a unique 1.8 GW wind park named Sharco Duo.
RWE’s design concept for Sharco Duo supports the integration of the offshore wind farm into the Polish energy system, including green hydrogen production (offshore and onshore) together with innovative electricity storage solutions. The company proposes the use of low-noise foundation installation systems and sustainable usage of recyclable components, to support biodiversity and enhance the local ecology. RWE expects extensive synergies with its nearby F.E.W. Baltic II project and its already established operational base in Ustka (northern Poland). The Sharco Duo offshore wind park is expected to produce its first power in early 2028.
RWE operates 18 offshore wind farms in five countries and has a total installed capacity of around 3 GW of offshore wind projects in operation, 1.7 GW under construction, as well as more than 10 GW of secured capacities in development worldwide.
