Baltic Power, Poland's First Offshore Wind Farm, Nears Full Operation
- Baltic Power reached first power on 10 July 2026, delivering the first electricity ever generated from offshore wind to Poland's grid; the grid operator PSE confirmed receipt at the onshore substation in nearby Choczewo[1][2]
- 54 of the 76 Vestas 15 MW turbines were installed by 10 July and the installation campaign is due to finish later in 2026; Northland says the project is on track for commercial operations in the second half of 2026 with costs aligned with original expectations[1][2]
- The farm lies about 23 km off the Polish coast near Choczewo and Łeba, is owned 51% by Orlen and 49% by Northland Power, will generate about 4 TWh a year for more than 1.5 million households and is backed by a 25-year contract for difference won in 2021[1]
- Orlen and Northland expect to fully commission the roughly 1.2 GW array in the autumn of 2026, Recharge reported[3]
- The first foundations were installed in early 2025 and Orlen's chief executive said then that energy from the Baltic Sea would flow to consumers "by 2026"[4]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
