Offshore Construction Start

DELAYED +6yr (May 2026): Original 2026 date came from speculative power-technology.com / GlobalData project profile not anchored to PGE statements. Demonstrably impossible per May 2026 gov.pl OWF register: Baltica 1+ row shows PSZW=Nie, DŚU=Nie, WTP=Nie, UP=Nie — earliest regulatory state of any active Polish OWF. Project did not bid in Poland's first OWF CfD auction (17 Dec 2025; only sister Baltica 1, plus Błtyk I / Baltica 9 / Baltic East entered — per balticwind.eu). Polish CfD calendar: 2027 / 2029 / 2031; Baltica 1+ cannot enter 2027 without DŚU + grid arrangements, so 2029 is the realistic earliest. Sister Baltica 5 (more advanced permits) has already been slipped to 2030 construction; Baltica 1+ trails by ~2 years. Slipping to year-end 2032 (low) — LATER end of realistic 2030-2034 window per feedback_go_later_on_projection_ranges. --- The EW Baltica 1 offshore wind project, a 1,185 MW development in the Polish sector of the Baltic Sea tentatively known as Baltica 1+, is currently at the announced stage and is planned to be built in a single phase. According to GlobalData, construction of the project is likely to commence in 2026, marking the transition from development and permitting into the offshore build-out phase for this extension area. The same source indicates that, following this construction start, the project is expected to proceed towards commercial operation around 2030.
