ORLEN Neptun is responsible for the development of offshore wind energy in the ORLEN Group. In October 2023, the company obtained the final decision of the Minister of Infrastructure to allocate five new locations for the construction of offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea with a total capacity of approximately 5.2 GW. Four of them are located on the Oder Bank, near Świnoujście, where the company is building its installation port for offshore wind installations. The fifth location is located on the Middle Bank. This area borders the site where the 1,140 MW Baltic Power wind farm is to be built, which the ORLEN Group is implementing in cooperation with the Canadian partner Northland Power.
Additionally, ORLEN Neptun is interested in developing offshore wind projects in other countries around the Baltic Sea. The company's plans related to offshore wind energy also concern securing and guaranteeing the timely implementation of new projects. Therefore, in October 2022, the ORLEN Group made a strategic decision to build the first offshore wind terminal in Poland. The investment is being carried out in the port of Świnoujście and after completion of construction at the turn of 2024 and 2025, it will be one of the most modern terminals in Europe.
