The Polish utility PGE (Polska Grupa Energetyczna) and Denmark’s Ørsted have chosen the German manufacturer Siemens Gamesa as wind turbine supplier for the 1,498 MW Baltica 2 offshore wind project located off Choczewo, in northern Poland. The agreement covers the design, manufacture, delivery, transport, installation and commissioning of 107 turbines rated 14 MW each by Siemens Gamesa. The contract is planned to be fulfilled in the period starting in the second quarter of 2023 until the fourth quarter of 2027.
The Baltica offshore wind project, with a total capacity of up to 2.5 GW, will be developed in two stages: Baltica 2 and Baltica 3. The 1 GW Baltica 3 stage is planned for 2026, while the 1.5 GW Baltica 2 stage is to be commissioned in 2027. The Baltica Offshore Wind project obtained the environmental decision for its development in January 2020.
As of end-2021, Poland did not yet have any offshore wind capacity but had over 7 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.
