Eia Approved

On 8 November 2022 the Regional Directorate for Environmental Protection in Gdańsk (RDOŚ Gdańsk) issued an amended Decyzja środowiskowa (DŚU) for the MFW Bałtyk III offshore wind farm. The amendment was required because Bałtyk III's turbine parameters had changed materially compared with the original 2017 environmental decision — moving to the Siemens Gamesa SG 14-236 DD platform — and the developer (Polenergia, with Equinor as JV partner) had filed an application to amend the 2017 decision on 13 June 2022. The amended DŚU became final on 29 November 2022, completing the renewed environmental-conditions framework needed to build Bałtyk III at the updated technical specification. Per the Polish convention, DŚU amendments re-emit eia_approved rather than routing through consent_variation_awarded (which is reserved for Pozwolenie na budowę amendments). This decision unlocked subsequent procurement decisions and the 2025 final investment decision and financial close.
