ORLEN Neptun has entered into a reservation agreement with the Kołobrzeg Sea Port Authority.
The agreement includes the reservation of land in the Kołobrzeg Sea Port, which will enable the preparation of a service port for the operation of another ORLEN Group offshore wind farm developed within the phase II of offshore wind energy development – Baltic West.
Strengthening existing cooperation through the signed reservation agreement will enable analysis and development of the preliminary project documentation. This will allow to use the solutions best suited to the implementation of the offshore wind project – Baltic West. Gaining experiences such as this one can help unlock the port’s infrastructure potential for the implementation of future offshore wind projects in this part of the Baltic Sea.
The Kołobrzeg Sea Port is closest to the project location among all ports available in this part of the Baltic Sea. Due to its convenient location, Kołobrzeg is therefore the optimal location for a service port for this offshore wind farm. Today, the Kołobrzeg Sea Port meets the infrastructure standards expected of the central Baltic ports serving offshore wind farms with CTV vessels.
Baltic West is a project comprising four licenses in the Oder Bank region: locations 14.E.1 and 14.E.2, owned by Energa Wytwarzanie subsidiaries, and locations 14.E.3 and 14.E.4, owned by ORLEN Neptun subsidiaries. At the same time, this is the second – after Baltic East – offshore wind farm project implemented by the ORLEN Group in the phase II of the offshore wind development. The planned total installed capacity of Baltic West is about 4 GW, which will translate into clean energy for more than 5 million households in Poland. All four areas are being prepared to participate in the Polish support system for offshore wind farms. Full implementation of the projects will take place by 2040.
These projects have permits to erect 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 begin a series of location studies, including, among others, environmental studies, wind studies and studies to identify the geotechnical conditions of the water regions.
At the end of 2025, ORLEN Neptun, as the offshore wind energy competence center in the ORLEN Group, announced the success of its most advanced offshore wind phase II 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. This success is an important step towards the development of renewable energy sources and a declaration to continue building a secure, stable energy system in Poland.
