In January 2021, Polish energy company ORLEN and Canada’s Northland Power formalised a joint venture to co-develop the Baltic Power offshore wind farm. As part of this agreement, the partners created the project company Baltic Power, which will develop, construct and operate an offshore wind farm of around 1.2 GW in the Polish Exclusive Economic Zone of the Baltic Sea, approximately 23 km off the coast between Łeba and Choczewo. The joint venture structure underpins the project’s development strategy, combining ORLEN’s local market presence and Northland Power’s offshore wind experience in Europe. This partnership marks the start of coordinated project development, permitting and supply-chain contracting for what is described as the most advanced first-phase offshore wind project in Poland.
