The total potential of offshore wind farms in the Polish part of the Baltic Sea is estimated at 33 GW, with the expected average annual energy production of 130 TWh, according to a report commissioned by the Polish Wind Energy Association.
The report states that the potential in the areas currently designated in the Polish Maritime Spatial Development Plan (PZPPOM) for offshore development is estimated at 15.3 GW. The report also identified 20 new areas where OWF development is possible. The potential of these areas is 17.7 GW with the assumed energy production of about 70.7 TWh.
By 2040 offshore wind energy could meet up to 57% of the total demand for electricity in Poland, the report estimated.
