Poland: Construction of the Baltic Power wind farm, being established by Polish state energy giant Orlen and Canada’s Northland Power, has begun. Two of 78 monopiles have been successfully installed. The project, with a planned total capacity of 1.2 GW, is set to begin operation in 2026, providing electricity to more than 1.5 million households.
It is a part of Orlen’s and Poland’s push towards replacing reliance on coal with cleaner forms of energy, in particular renewables and nuclear. Once completed, the wind farm is expected to generate around 4000 GWh of electricity annually, cutting CO2 emissions by approximately 2.8 million tonnes annually compared to conventional power generation.
