First Polish Offshore Wind Farm Secures Construction Permit

Poland has taken a significant step in its renewable energy journey with the granting of a construction permit for its first offshore wind farm. The project, led by Polenergia and Equinor, is set to be located in the Baltic Sea, approximately 22 kilometers from the shore.

The MFW Bałtyk II project will have a capacity of 240 megawatts (MW) and is expected to generate enough electricity to power around 200,000 households. This milestone marks a pivotal moment for Poland as it seeks to diversify its energy sources and reduce its reliance on coal.

Polenergia, a leading Polish energy company, and Equinor, a Norwegian energy giant, have been working together on this project since 2018. The construction permit granted by the President of the Office of Technical Inspection (UDT) enables the consortium to proceed with the installation of wind turbines, foundations, and the necessary infrastructure to connect the wind farm to the national grid.

The project is part of a larger strategy to increase Poland's renewable energy capacity, aiming to have 11 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind capacity by 2040. The MFW Bałtyk II wind farm is expected to be operational by 2026, contributing significantly to Poland's climate goals and energy security.

This development comes at a time when Poland is under pressure to meet European Union climate targets and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The successful implementation of the MFW Bałtyk II project will serve as a benchmark for future offshore wind projects in the region.
