Overview
- Polskie Sieci Energetyczne confirmed that Baltic Power has delivered 'first power' from its offshore turbines to the onshore Choczewo substation, marking the initial feed of wind-generated electricity into Poland's grid.
- The project is a 49/51 joint venture between Canada’s Northland Power and Poland’s ORLEN and is designed for roughly 1.1–1.2 GW of capacity and about 4 TWh of annual output once fully online.
- Technical build: the farm will use 76 Vestas 15 MW turbines, two offshore substations and more than 350 km of internal and export cables that connect into the completed Choczewo onshore hub.
- Construction status: developers report installation is advanced with more than 50 turbines in place and all export and internal cables laid, but the site remains in staged commissioning while remaining turbines and connections are finished.
- Next steps and wider impact: the farm must pass multi-stage inspections, independent certification and obtain a production and sale licence from Poland’s Energy Regulatory Office before commercial operations expected in the second half of 2026, and the project has created local jobs and a service base in Łeba to support long-term operations.
