Poalnd: Ørsted and PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna (PGE) have taken the final investment decision (FID) on the 1.5 GW Baltica 2 project. This is the first stage of the Baltica Offshore Wind Farm located in the Polish Baltic Sea, about 40 kilometres off the coast near Ustka.

Baltic 2 has a 25-year inflation-protected contract for difference (CfD) in place with the Polish state and has obtained all permits and has signed a grid connection contract with the Polish transmission system operator PSE. It will use the Gdansk Port for the storage, pre-assembly, and offshore installation of wind turbine components.

The wind farm will consist of 107 Siemens Gamesa 14 MW-222 turbines. Van Oord will install the foundations, while the monopiles will be supplied by Steelwind Nordenham and the Navantia-Windar consortium. Semco Maritime and PTSC Mechanical & Construction (PTSC M&C) are in charge of the design, manufacturing, and commissioning of the offshore substations and Orient Cable (NBO) will be delivering 170 kilometres of 66 kV subsea array cables that will be connecting the wind turbines to the offshore substations.
