ORLEN Neptun has signed a reservation agreement with the Kołobrzeg Seaport Authority. The agreement covers the reservation of land in the Kołobrzeg Seaport, which will enable the preparation of a service port to support the ORLEN Group’s next offshore wind farm, implemented as part of the second phase of offshore wind energy development – Baltic West.

The strengthening of the existing cooperation in the form of a signed reservation agreement will enable analyses to be carried out and pre-project documentation to be prepared. This will allow for the application of solutions best suited to the implementation of the Baltic West offshore wind farm project. Gaining experience such as this has the potential to translate into the development of the port’s infrastructure potential for the implementation of future offshore wind energy projects in this part of the Baltic Sea.

The Port of Kołobrzeg is the closest to the project location of all the ports available in this part of the Baltic Sea. Due to its convenient location, Kołobrzeg is therefore the optimal location for servicing this offshore wind farm. Today, the Port of Kołobrzeg meets the expectations regarding the condition of port infrastructure set for ports on the central coast for servicing offshore wind farms with CTV vessels.

Baltic West is a project comprising four concessions in the Ławica Odrzańska area: locations 14.E.1

and 14.E.2, belonging to subsidiaries of Energa Wytwarzanie, and 14.E.3 and 14.E.4, belonging to subsidiaries of ORLEN Neptun. It is also the second offshore wind farm project implemented by the ORLEN Group in the second phase of offshore wind farm development, after Baltic East. The planned total installed capacity of Baltic West is approximately 4 GW, which will translate into clean energy for over 5 million households in Poland. All four areas are being prepared to participate in the Polish offshore wind farm support system. Full implementation of the projects will take place by 2040.

These projects have permits for the construction or use of artificial islands, structures

and equipment, as well as preliminary conditions for connection to the transmission grid. In the coming months, ORLEN Neptun plans to commence a series of location studies, including environmental studies, wind studies, and studies aimed at identifying the geotechnical conditions of the water bodies.

At the end of 2025, ORLEN Neptun, the center of offshore wind energy expertise within the ORLEN Group, announced the success of its most advanced Phase II OWF project – Baltic East. The Baltic East project was among the winners of the first Polish auction for offshore wind farms conducted by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office. The win is an important step towards the development of renewable energy sources and a declaration of the continuation of the construction of a safe and stable energy system in Poland.
