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.
