The Baltic Power offshore wind farm, Poland’s first offshore wind farm, has completed the installation of all 76 of its Vestas 15 MW turbines, bringing it close to full operation. The farm lies within Poland’s Exclusive Economic Zone in the Baltic Sea, about 23 kilometres off the coast, and covers roughly 130 square kilometres. The Baltic Power offshore wind farm is owned by Canada’s Northland Power (49%) and Poland’s ORLEN (51%).
The turbines stand more than 200 metres tall, with a rotor-swept area of about 43,000 square metres each. More than a third of them are already generating electricity, and commercial operation is expected in the second half of 2026. Once fully operational, the Baltic Power offshore wind farm is expected to produce about 4 TWh a year, around 3% of Poland’s electricity demand, enough for more than 1.5 million households.
