Area surface: about 77 sq. km
Distance to shore: about 85 km
Area 45.E.1:
Area located close to Baltica 2 and Baltica 3 projects under development, directly adjacent to Baltica 2. Area was applied for jointly by PGE and Ørsted.

The total potential of offshore wind farms that can be developed in all these areas exceed 3.9 GW. Currently, the PGE Group is preparing to build offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea with a total capacity of 3.4 GW. Baltica 2 with a capacity of 1.5 GW and Baltica 3 with a capacity of 1 GW will make up the Baltica Offshore Wind Farm, which is to start producing electricity later this decade. PGE is developing this project in cooperation with Ørsted. Independently from the Baltica OWF, the PGE Group is preparing for development of the Baltica 1 project with a capacity of approx. 0.9 GW. This wind farm is scheduled for commissioning after 2030.
