PGE Baltica: Powering Poland’s offshore wind future in the Baltic Sea
As Poland accelerates its energy transition, PGE Baltica has emerged as a central force in shaping the country’s offshore wind industry. With great ambitions for offshore wind development in the Baltic Sea and growing cooperation with Nordic suppliers, the company is not only taking part in transforming Poland’s energy mix – it is creating new opportunities for the wider Baltic offshore wind ecosystem. Join us in this deep-dive into the offshore wind strategy and portfolio of PGE Baltica.
Building a New Foundation for Poland’s Energy Security
Poland is rapidly expanding its offshore wind sector, creating a key pillar of the country’s energy transition and modern economy. This is one of the largest infrastructure undertakings in Poland’s history, with planned investments that may reach up to PLN 500 billion by 2040. Offshore wind is becoming a major driver of economic growth, stimulating domestic industry, generating thousands of jobs, and fostering innovation.
PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna, the largest energy company in Poland, identifies offshore wind as a strategic development area in its 2035 Strategy.

The Group plans total investments of PLN 235 billion, allocating PLN 85 billion to the development of renewable energy sources, both onshore and offshore. By 2035, our generation portfolio is to include, among other sources, 4 GW of capacity from offshore wind farms.
The strategy focuses on building a flexible and modern energy system based on renewables, energy storage, gas‑fired balancing units, and an expanded distribution network.
PGE Baltica – Poland’s Largest Offshore Wind Portfolio
PGE Baltica is responsible for implementing the PGE Group’s ambitions in the offshore wind sector. As a dedicated competence center for the preparation, construction, and operation of offshore wind farms. PGE Baltica is developing the largest portfolio of offshore projects in Poland, comprising 8 projects in the Baltic Sea with a total capacity of over 6 GW — one of the largest offshore portfolios in Europe.
Key Offshore Wind Projects:
Baltica 2 – 1.5 GW
The most advanced project in the portfolio, developed jointly with Ørsted. Once commissioned in 2027, Baltica 2 will be the largest offshore wind farm in Poland, supplying green electricity to approximately 2.5 million households.
Baltica 3 – 1 GW
Currently in the phase of optimization and preparation for contracting. In 2025, work was carried out on the concept of the project's technical reconfiguration.
Baltica 9 – Supported in Poland’s First Offshore Wind Auction
In December 2025, Baltica 9 secured a contract for difference in Poland’s first offshore wind auction. PGE plans to develop the project together with the neighboring FEW Baltic II project (approx. 350 MW), expected to be acquired from RWE. The transaction is planned for completion in the first quarter of 2026. And the planned commissioning date of the combined projects is 2032.
Close collaboration
“We are very happy with our close collaboration with PGE Baltica,” says Svenn-Børge Vatland, Working Group Leader for Poland and the Baltics.
PGE Baltica has an impressive offshore wind portfolio and is truly a driving force in Poland’s energy transition. Their projects represent many interesting opportunities for the Norwegian offshore wind supply chain.
