Delegation to WindWorks 2026

Join the NORWEP delegation to WindWorks 2026 – the leading wind energy conference in the Baltics and the key annual meeting place for developers, authorities and suppliers shaping the region’s offshore wind build-out.

This delegation is designed for Norwegian offshore wind suppliers looking to position themselves early in a fast-developing Baltic market and build relationships with key stakeholders across Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania.

Why Join the NORWEP Delegation?

• Meet developers and authorities involved in upcoming Baltic offshore wind projects
• Gain early insight into auction timelines and project structuring
• Participate in pre-arranged B2B meetings with selected stakeholders
• Access a dedicated meeting room for your own business meetings
• Strengthen your visibility as part of the Norwegian offshore wind supply chain
• Engage in a high-level security dialogue at the Norwegian Embassy

The Baltic Offshore Wind Market

The Baltic region is moving steadily forward with offshore wind development, with cross-border collaboration, maturing regulatory frameworks, and upcoming auctions creating concrete opportunities for suppliers.

Latvia
Latvia is actively developing its offshore wind sector, with regulatory and permitting processes accelerating. The ELWIND cross-border project with Estonia targets up to 2 GW and is currently in pre-development, with environmental studies, site investigations, and preparatory work underway. The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process is ongoing ahead of the planned auction in 2029. Commercial operation is expected around 2033.

Estonia
Estonia has a strong offshore wind pipeline of approximately 11 GW, with ongoing environmental assessments and site preparation. Estonia is a key partner in cross-border projects such as ELWIND, and upcoming auctions present opportunities for equipment suppliers, contractors, and service providers.

Lithuania
Lithuania has awarded its first 700 MW offshore wind project, with additional tenders under review. The market offers long-term development potential for technology providers, contractors, and O&M suppliers.

Where Norwegian Suppliers Can Add Value

The Baltic markets are building offshore wind capacity with limited domestic offshore experience. This creates demand for proven competence in:

• Offshore project development and engineering
• Environmental surveys and marine operations
• Grid connection and substation solutions
• EPC and installation services
• Offshore logistics and specialised vessels
• O&M strategies and lifecycle optimisation

Early engagement allows Norwegian companies to:

• Position themselves ahead of upcoming auctions
• Form local partnerships
• Influence project specifications
• Secure roles in future supply chains
