Information on Baltica 2 project

The Baltica 2 offshore wind farm is the biggest offshore wind energy 1st phase project by capacity in the Polish part of the Baltic Sea under development by PGE Group and Ørsted. Its 1498 MW of capacity will allow for producing green energy from wind for about 2.4 million recipients, including households, schools, hospitals, institutions and companies. Together with the Baltica 3 stage it will create the Baltica Offshore Wind Farm complex which will contribute significantly to Poland’s green energy transition.

The offshore part of the Baltica 2 project will be operating in the Polish part of the Baltic Sea north of the coastline between Choczewo and Ustka. It will consist of 107 turbine wind generators of 14 MW capacity each laid out on the sea surface of about 190 sq. km. The distance to the closest turbine from the shore will be about 40 km. The turbines will be mounted on monopile foundations. Four offshore substations will be built for the farm to allow the electricity to be exported onshore via subsea cable lines.

The onshore part of the Baltica 2 project, the connection infrastructure necessary for Baltica 2 will be developed in the village of Osieki Lęborskie, Choczewo municipality, poviat of Wejherowo. It will consist of the onshore transformer substation and underground cable lines which will allow for delivering electricity produced by the offshore wind farm to the onshore substation. From here on the electricity will be distributed to the Polish Power System.

Commissioning of Baltica 2 is planned for 2027.

Offshore wind energy is an important source of electricity that will strengthen Poland's energy independence. Offshore wind energy, like all own energy sources, has become crucial for building and maintaining the country's energy security. Like all renewable energy sources, it will also change Poland's energy mix. The operation of the Baltica 2 offshore wind farm will allow for a significant reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.
