In August 2023, Poland's Minister of Infrastructure issued the formal PSzW location permit (pozwolenie na wznoszenie i wykorzystywanie sztucznych wysp) for area 60.E.4 to Elektrownia Wiatrowa Baltica 5 sp. z o.o., as confirmed in Enea Group's 2023 ESG report. This executed the location rights for area 60.E.4 won by Baltica 5 in the February 2023 competitive ranking, granting formal seabed rights for the planned ~555 MW offshore wind project located approximately 85 km off the Polish coast near the Baltica 1 area. The permit, alongside decisions for several other PGE-led areas including 60.E.3, advanced the project from competitive award into formally permitted early-development status.
