The Baltic West project encompasses four areas located on the Oder Bank, which are being developed in parallel. The planned total installed capacity is approximately 4 GW, which could translate into clean energy for more than 5 million households in Poland. All four locations are being prepared to participate in the Polish offshore wind support scheme.
All locations have obtained permits to erect or use artificial islands, structures and equipment, as well as preliminary grid connection conditions. ORLEN Neptun continues environmental surveys and plans to launch a series of additional site investigations in the coming months, including wind measurements and geotechnical studies of the seabed.
ORLEN Neptun has entered into a reservation agreement with the Kołobrzeg Sea Port Authority, securing space in the port, which will enable the preparation of a service base for the Baltic West offshore wind farm.
The commercial operation date (COD), i.e. when the offshore wind farm will start generating electricity, is estimated for 2034+.
Location
The projects being developed as part of Baltic West will be located on the Odra Bank, approximately 26.5 kilometers from the Baltic coast.
The planned total area of the Baltic West project is about 445 km2, with water depths ranging between 28 to 40 meters below sea level.
Estimated area and capacity of each location
14.E.1: ~80 km²; ~800 MW,
14.E.2: ~90 km²; ~900 MW,
14.E.3: ~125 km²; ~1200 MW,
14.E.4: ~150 km²; ~1200 MW.
