“The Polish wind energy market is a highly prioritised market for us, and we are extremely proud to be chosen by Orsted and PGE as a reliable partner for this Polish project. This contract will continue to strengthen our relationship, and we look forward to supporting Orsted and PGE in the Baltica 2 project in Poland in 2027,” stated Koefoed.
Baltica 2 was selected for the first phase of Poland's offshore wind buildout program by the Polish Energy Regulatory Office (ERO) in 2021, securing the Contract for Difference (CFD). The wind farm, located in the Polish part of the Baltic Sea, is a key component of the country's ambitious offshore wind expansion plans.
