On 30 May 2023, Poland’s Ministry of Infrastructure published the results of six competitive adjudication proceedings for new Phase II offshore wind areas in the Baltic Sea. In the outcome, Orlen Neptun III placed first for maritime area 14.E.3 on the Odra Bank, meaning the project’s special purpose vehicle secured the right to develop this site ahead of other bidders. This ranking decision constitutes the Phase II award of the seabed location to Orlen Neptun III, preceding the formal execution of the PSzW siting permit and enabling detailed development of the Orlen Neptun III (Area 14.E.3) offshore wind farm as part of the Baltic West cluster.
