Offshore investments in the Baltic Sea – both those planned and those that have already entered the implementation phase – show how much energy potential there is in the Baltic Sea. This is shown not only by the intentions of the Polish authorities. Almost everyone with access to Baltic waters is investing in offshore wind power plants.
GLOBENERGIA.pl recalls that on January 19 of this year, eight countries with access to the Baltic Sea entered into an informal agreement, according to which 22.5 GW of wind farms are to be built in the Baltic Sea by 2030. Poland has as much as 5.9 GW in this volume.
Of the participants in the indicated agreement, only Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia do not yet have wind power plants in the Baltic, but, as is well known, everything is on track for the launch of these installations.
Invariably, the leader of offshore wind in Europe remains the United Kingdom, which is second – after China – in the classification of offshore wind energy producers. The British have as much as 14.7 GW of offshore capacity installed.
