The PSEW 2026 conference, the largest wind-energy event in Poland and Central-Eastern Europe, ran from 8 to 10 June in Świnoujście, with West Pomerania (Zachodniopomorskie) as one of its main patrons. The programme covered onshore and offshore wind, grid infrastructure, permitting, financing and supply-chain skills.
West Pomerania is Poland’s leading region for installed wind capacity at 2.6 GW, ahead of Greater Poland (1.7 GW), Pomerania (1.5 GW) and Kuyavia-Pomerania (1.0 GW). The region’s renewables self-sufficiency was estimated at around 130 percent in 2025, meaning it produces more renewable power than it consumes annually.
Regional marshal Olgierd Geblewicz said onshore potential in the province ranges from 16-27 GW at a 700-metre setback to 20-34 GW at 500 metres, while offshore industrial activity is building through the Szczecin and regional offshore programmes — including nacelle and hub production, tower and cable factories, and construction of cable-lay and service vessels. He framed a new “European Wind Energy Factory” programme as a 15-year industrial roadmap for the offshore sector.
Speakers included State Assets Minister Wojciech Balczun, Climate and Environment Minister Paulina Hennig-Kloska and Energy Minister Miłosz Motyka. For the Baltic, the gathering underlined how closely Poland is now tying wind build-out to energy security and regional industrial strategy.
