Orlen Neptune, responsible for the offshore assets of Polish energy major Orlen SA, has reserved land at the Kolobrzeg Seaport on the Baltic Sea for a service port for its future offshore farm Baltic West.
The company has signed a reservation agreement with the seaport authority, which will strengthen their cooperation. Of all the ports available in this part of the Baltic Sea, Kołobrzeg Seaport is the closest to the project site and an optimal location for servicing the offshore wind farm.
Baltic West is a project encompassing four licences in the Odra Bank region — locations 14.E.1 and 14.E.2, owned by units of Orlen’s subsidiary Energa Wytwarzania, and 14.E.3 and 14.E.4, owned by units of Orlen Neptun, the company said.
This is also the second offshore wind farm project after the 900-MW Baltic East, implemented by the Orlen group in Poland’s Phase II of the offshore wind development.
Baltic West’s planned total installed capacity is about 4 GW, which will translate into clean energy for over five million households in Poland. All four areas are being prepared to participate in the Polish offshore wind farm support system. Full implementation of the projects is scheduled for 2040.
The Baltic East project was among the winners of the first Polish auction for support of offshore wind farms conducted by Poland’s energy regulator URE in December.
