Polish market
The energy transition in Poland is gaining momentum. Development of green energy is a necessity from the point of view of energy independence and national interests of the country, especially in the present geopolitical situation in Europe. During the last two years, the share of coal in Poland’s energy mix dropped from 66 to 55%, thanks to large development of RES, especially PV and onshore wind. Development of offshore wind on the Baltic Sea will soon speed up the process of decarbonisation of the Polish energy sector even more.
The Polish offshore wind programme worth approx. 10 billion EUR, is the largest investment in postwar Poland. Reaching the firstly set target of 10,9 GW in OW was planned in two phases: Phase I, for which CfDs for 5,9 GW were awarded in 2021 to 5 project owners: Equinor/Polenergia, PGE/Ørsted, Baltic Power (ORLEN/Northland Power), RWE and Ocean Winds; and Phase II, with auctions for totally 5 GW planned for 2025 and 2027.
In 2023, an amendment to the Act on RES changed this scheme to 4 auctions offering a total support for 12 GW, for the auctions in 2025 and 2027 - 4 GW each, and for additional two auctions in 2029 and 2031 - 2 GW each. This year’s auction will take place on 17 Dec. 10 permits for new seabed areas for OW farms were granted to two Polish energy groups, PGE (additional 3,9 GW of capacity) and ORLEN (5.2 GW).
As for Phase 1, three project owners (Baltic Power, the PGE/Ørsted j.v. and the Equinor/Polenergai j.v.) have already taken their FIDs, and also Ocean Winds is intending to take the FID for their BCWind project by the end of this year. In July 2025, Baltic Power confirmed the successful installation of the first 15-MW offshore wind turbine. Commissioning of their OWF is expected in 2026.
