At the request of Baltica 1 Wind Power Plant, a PGE Capital Group company, Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne S.A., Poland’s transmission system operator, has issued requirements for connecting the 896 MW offshore wind farm to the national power grid. This is another stage in the offshore wind farms project being carried out by PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna. The technical power grid connection requirements specify, among other things, connection capacity, expenditures on the development of the transmission infrastructure to be incurred by both PGE and PSE in order to ensure the connection and evacuation of power from the planned offshore wind farm and the necessary scope of arrangements for these investment projects with the President of the Energy Regulatory Office. Located about 80 km from the coast, more or less opposite the town of Łeba in the Pomorskie province, the Baltica 1 offshore wind farm is the third concession area currently owned by PGE. Besides the technical power grid connection requirements, Baltica 1 is already in possession of a location permit allowing for the construction of artificial islands and determining the location area of the wind farm in the Polish part of the Baltic Sea.
