On 30 May 2023, Poland’s Ministry of Infrastructure published the results of six competitive adjudication proceedings for new offshore wind locations under Phase II of the Polish offshore programme. In these results, Energa MFW 2 (an ORLEN Group company) was ranked first for area 14.E.2, meaning it was selected as the winning applicant for this maritime area on the Odra Bank near the Polish coast. This ranking effectively awards Energa MFW 2 priority development rights to pursue the subsequent siting permit (PSZW) for the 14.E.2 offshore wind farm area, ahead of other bidders such as Baltica 6 Offshore Wind Farm and EDF Renewable Offshore Polska I. The decision establishes Energa MFW 2 as the designated developer for 14.E.2 within the Phase II framework, while formal PSZW execution and later permitting stages follow in separate procedures.
