Dear Readers,

It is my pleasure to introduce this special report summarising the Baltic Sea Offshore Wind Summit 2025, held on March 10th at the European Solidarity Centre in Gdańsk. This landmark event brought together more than 200 leading voices from across the offshore wind sector—government representatives, industry experts, innovators, and policymakers—united by a shared vision: to strengthen the role of the Baltic Sea as a driving force in Europe’s clean energy transition.

This year’s summit stood out not only for its timely focus on energy security, infrastructure development, supply chain independence, and workforce innovation, but also for its recognition of historic achievements. The inaugural Baltic Wind Award honoured the successful synchronisation of the Baltic States with the European energy grid—an essential step towards full energy sovereignty and resilience in the face of geopolitical challenges.

The discussions held in Gdańsk underscored the enormous potential of the Baltic Sea region to lead Europe in offshore wind development. With ambitious national targets, such as Poland’s plan to reach 18 GW of offshore capacity by 2040, and Lithuania’s commitment to expanding its renewable portfolio, the region is poised to become a centre of innovation, investment, and sustainable growth.

As we look ahead, I warmly invite you to join us for the next edition of the summit, which will take place in Brussels in November 2025. This next chapter will focus on the EU agenda for offshore wind energy, and is designed to bring together key industry stakeholders and EU decision- makers from across the Baltic Sea countries. It will provide a vital platform to align national efforts with European policies, foster collaboration, and accelerate investment in this strategic sector.

Warm regards,

Krzysztof Bulski
