Eia Approved

The Regional Directorate for Environmental Protection in Gdańsk (RDOŚ Gdańsk) issued the environmental decision (DŚU) for the Baltic Power offshore wind farm on 17 September 2021. This decision approved the project’s environmental conditions for a planned capacity of 1,200 MW, enabling it to move forward toward later permitting stages such as the building permit. The DŚU set out binding environmental requirements that Baltic Power must meet during construction and operation. The decision later became the subject of an appeal by the environmental foundation Grand Agro, which argued shortcomings in the impact assessment and the time allowed to review the documentation. The appeal triggered a higher-level review by the General Directorate for Environmental Protection (GDOŚ), but the original milestone remains the first formal environmental approval for Baltic Power.
