The Baltica Offshore Wind Farm is the largest offshore wind project in the Polish part of Baltic Sea.


It is developed in two phases – Baltica 2 and Baltica 3 – as a 50/50 joint venture of Ørsted, the global leader in offshore wind energy, and PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna, the largest producer of electricity and heat generation in Poland.


PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna is the leader of the green transition in the Polish energy sector and the largest domestic producer of electricity from renewable sources, aiming to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 to deliver 100% green energy to its customers. Its offshore wind program is developed by a subsidiary company – PGE Baltica.

Ørsted built the world’s first offshore wind farm in 1991 and is currently the world leader in offshore wind development. Ørsted has been ranked the world’s most sustainable energy developer.

The development of the Offshore Wind Farm Baltica is in line with Ørsted's plans to have a total of 30 GW of installed capacity in offshore wind energy worldwide by 2030 and with PGE Group's strategy to have 2.5 GW of power installed in the Polish area of Baltic Sea by that date.
