Smulders' Polish factories are in the final stages of manufacturing the key foundation elements for the Baltic Power offshore wind farm. These are the transition pieces that will connect the foundations to the wind turbines. Once assembled, they will set off for the transhipment port. Already in the first quarter of 2025, they will be installed at the first offshore wind farm in the Polish part of the Baltic Sea.

Baltic Power launches call for applications within transitional compensation scheme for fisheries
Baltic Power, the project responsible for the construction of Poland's first offshore wind farm, has launched a call for applications for the Transitional Compensation Scheme aimed at fisheries who have carried out fishing activities in the area of the planned wind farm. This solution is transitional and will remain in force until the introduction of appropriate regulations governing the principles and scope of compensation payments between the offshore wind energy sector and the fishing industry. The annual compensation's amount will depend on the size of the vessel and vary from PLN 15,200 and PLN 48,700 each year.

ABOUT THE PROJECT
The Baltic Power offshore wind farm is an essential element of transformation of the ORLEN Group and a milestone in the development of the Polish power sector. As soon as in 2024, we will start the construction of an up to 1.2 GW offshore wind farm, expected to ultimately supply clean electricity to more than 1 ,5 million households in Poland.
POWER CALCULATOR
The Baltic Power offshore wind farm will have a capacity of up to 1.2 GW. What does this mean in real life? How many minutes does the farm have to run to power an electric train? How many phones can it charge in 1 hour of operation? Check in our power calculator!
FOR THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES
Offshore wind power generation is an opportunity for a civilization change and transformation of the Polish economy. It can also provide a growth stimulus for the regions where clean, green technologies will be implemented. Experts estimate that in 2030 over 30% of energy generated in Poland will come from renewable sources, mainly offshore wind farms. Their potential based on the permits issued for the construction of future offshore wind farms is about 16 GW. According to estimates by industry organizations, the total potential of the Polish part of the Baltic Sea may be as high as 33 GW.
FOR BUSINESSES
Offshore wind power generation in the Baltic Sea presents an opportunity to build a new branch of the economy. Its development requires a strong and efficient supply chain. Large investment projects in the sector will drive the growth of hundreds of businesses and create thousands of well-paid jobs.
