Orlen aims for five major Baltic projects
Orlen Neptun is preparing its Baltic East offshore wind project (approx. 1 GW) for Poland’s first offshore auction in 2025. The company estimates that developing all five of its offshore projects (5.2 GW total) will require around PLN 116 billion in investment, with an additional PLN 80 billion needed for the operational phase.
Baltic East has grid connection conditions and a location permit; an environmental decision is pending. Orlen Neptun emphasizes the importance of auction schedule stability, opposing a proposed change that would shorten the auction notice period from six months to 30 days. The firm supports annual indexation of guaranteed electricity prices. Continuity in offshore projects is key for energy transition, business certainty, and supply chain development.
