In October 2023 the Polish Ministry of Infrastructure issued seabed licences for five new offshore wind areas in the Baltic Sea, including area 46.E.1 on which the Baltic East project is based. This decision corresponds to the PSZW siting permit, granting ORLEN Neptun long‑term rights to construct and operate artificial islands and offshore wind structures in area 46.E.1. The licence award is the fundamental seabed-rights instrument for Baltic East and enables the project to proceed with environmental surveys, design, consenting and preparation for participation in Poland’s first competitive offshore wind auction.
