Media Partnership - Powering Europe: Baltic Sea Offshore Wind Momentum

Media Partnership - Powering Europe: Baltic Sea Offshore Wind Momentum

REGISTER HERE



The development of offshore wind in the Baltic Sea is a regional endeavour, extending beyond individual projects and national markets. With estimated offshore wind potential of around 93 GW, the Baltic Sea offers a major opportunity to advance Europe’s energy transition and strengthen energy security. Turning this potential into operational capacity will require cross-border cooperation, strategic partnerships and a resilient energy system.

Poland’s plans for up to 18 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2040 are central to this regional ambition. PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna holds the country’s largest offshore wind development portfolio, with contracts for difference secured for approximately 3.9 GW. Its most advanced project, the 1.5 GW Baltica 2 wind farm, is being developed with Ørsted and is scheduled to enter operation in 2027. PGE also intends to secure strategic partnerships for its large-scale Baltic Sea projects by the end of 2026.

This is a timely opportunity to explore why, while a number of offshore wind projects across Europe are being postponed or reconsidered, some countries continue to move forward with their offshore ambitions. We invite you to explore offshore wind ambitions and developments in the Baltic region. Bringing together industry leaders, policymakers and key stakeholders, the event will examine opportunities and challenges in scaling up offshore wind, and how partnerships, innovation and regional cooperation can accelerate delivery while strengthening Europe’s energy security and competitiveness.
