OWC to support 1.2 GW offshore wind project in the Baltic Sea

Baltic Power, a subsidiary of Polish energy company PKN Orlen, has retained offshore wind consultancy firm OWC as technical advisor to its 1.2 GW offshore wind development in the Baltic Sea.

PKN Orlen, through its subsidiary Baltic Power, holds a license to build wind farms in the Baltic Sea with a maximum total capacity of up to 1.2 GW. The area covers approximately 131 square kilometers located some 23 kilometers off Choczewo and Łeba. It is expected this will be one of the first offshore wind projects Poland will implement as part of the ambitious sector development plan.

PKN Orlen plans to start constructing the wind farm in 2024.
