Baltic Power, Poland’s first offshore wind farm, is on course to begin generating electricity in the second half of 2026, the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy has said, presenting the project to European Commission representatives on the coast at Łeba.
The wind farm is being built around 23 km off the Baltic coast, off Łeba and Choczewo, and will cover roughly 130 km². Its 76 turbines are expected to produce around 3% of Poland’s annual electricity demand — enough to power more than 1.5 million households. The investment has received 3.5 billion złoty (around €800 million) in financing from Poland’s National Recovery Plan (KPO).
Construction is well advanced. All foundations, transition pieces and both offshore substations are installed, with turbine assembly and cable-laying now under way. The two offshore substations sit about 20 km from shore; four export cables will carry the electricity to an onshore station in the Choczewo municipality and on into the national transmission grid.
Polish companies have been closely involved. Onshore cables, foundation components and substation structures were manufactured domestically, and some of the turbine nacelles are being built in Szczecin. An operational and service base has been running in Łeba since May 2025 and will serve as the farm’s home port and maintenance hub for the next 30 years; it also houses the Baltic Power Maritime Coordination Centre, which monitors shipping around the site around the clock.
The project is part of a wider energy transition financed through the Recovery Plan, which has allocated about 110.2 billion złoty (over €24.8 billion) in grants and loans to energy. The government frames offshore wind — alongside heat-network modernisation and the foundations of a hydrogen economy — as central to reducing Poland’s dependence on fossil fuels and strengthening energy security. As the first commercial wind farm in the Polish Baltic, Baltic Power marks a milestone for offshore wind across the region.
