The Bałtyk III offshore wind project obtained its key seabed-rights instrument, the PSZW (permit for the construction and use of artificial islands, structures and devices in Polish maritime areas), in 2012. This permit, issued under the Maritime Areas Act by the competent minister, designates the offshore area for the project and authorises construction and use of turbines and associated infrastructure in the Polish Exclusive Economic Zone. It is cited in the project’s development-stage documentation as the first major permit obtained, underpinning subsequent grid connection agreements, environmental decision, and detailed design and survey campaigns.
