ORLEN Neptun's current developer timeline (May 2026 announcement) anchors Energa MFW 1 — as part of the Baltic West cluster — to first power "from 2034 onwards". The 2034 date is the cluster-wide indicative target communicated in conjunction with the start of the May 2026 marine-environment survey campaign. The Phase III PSzW was awarded May 2023; the cross-border EIA scoping ruling was issued July 2025; the DŚU is pending. The project did not participate in Poland's first CfD auction (December 2025; that auction was won by sister project Baltic East / 46.E.1, plus Baltica 9 and Bałtyk I). The 2034 first-energy projection therefore aligns with a later CfD round and ~10-year development runway from PSzW. Recorded as projected (year-precision); will need to be split into first_power and commercial_operations_full_power once finer-precision developer guidance arrives.
