Energa Wytwarzanie, an Orlen Group subsidiary, and Northland Power have established a company, Baltic Offshore Service Solution, to provide a range of offshore wind services in Poland.
The new company will offer a range of services tailored to the offshore wind energy sector, encompassing technical, operational, commercial, and contractual aspects.
Additionally, Baltic Offshore Service Solution will oversee the operation of the 24-hour Wind Farm Management Centre planned to be established by the Orlen group. Its responsibilities will include the monitoring, coordination, and control of offshore assets.
The entity is responsible for the maintenance of individual wind farm components, ensuring the technical efficiency and availability of power machinery and equipment, and conducting technical inspections.
Orlen said that Baltic Offshore Service Solution will leverage Energa Wytwarzanie’s experience in maintaining onshore renewable energy assets, including a portfolio of six wind farms with 244 MW capacity.
Northland Power and Orlen Group are currently developing the Baltic Power offshore wind project in Poland which is expected to begin producing 1.2 GW of clean energy by 2026.

“We are actively progressing with the Baltic Power project and plan to invest in projects in an additional five licences that are developed by ORLEN Neptun. The potential for offshore power generation across the Baltic Sea is estimated to exceed 90 GW, indicating a substantial growth trajectory for investments in this sector,” said Jarosław Dybowsk i, Executive Director for Energy at ORLEN.
The project will be built in the Baltic Sea, approximately 22 kilometres off the Polish coast near Plaża Wydmy Lubiatowskie, where 76 Vestas V236-15.0 MW wind turbines will be installed.
Once operational, the offshore wind farm will provide clean energy to over 1.5 million Polish households.
