All 76 turbines are in place at Poland’s first offshore wind farm

Poland’s first offshore wind farm has completed installation of all 76 turbines, with more than a third already generating electricity, according to co-owner Northland Power. The Baltic Power project is now moving through testing ahead of full commercial operation, which the company says remains on track for 2026.

Located more than 23 kilometres off Poland’s Baltic coast near Choczewo, the wind farm is being developed by Polish energy group Orlen and Canada’s Northland Power. It first supplied the national grid in July 2026, marking the first time offshore wind contributed to Poland’s electricity mix. Around 7,000 people and 110 vessels were involved in the project, according to Orlen.

With installation finished, turbines are being connected to the national power system one by one. Each undergoes checks, including a 240-hour reliability test, before being handed over to the operations team. Those steps remain important: having every turbine in place does not yet mean the whole wind farm is fully operational.

Once running in full, Baltic Power is expected to generate up to 4 terawatt-hours of electricity annually. That would be equivalent to around 3% of Poland’s current electricity demand, or enough to supply more than 1.5 million Polish households.
