Orlen Neptun Selects Partrac for Wind Measurements at Three Polish Project Sites

Orlen Neptun has contracted Partrac to deploy two floating V-LiDAR systems for a wind measurement campaign at its Baltic West offshore wind project sites in the Polish Baltic Sea, and a third floating V-LiDAR at the Baltic East site.

The measurements will provide site-specific wind resource data for project design, turbine layout optimisation and energy yield assessments. For Baltic West, the campaign is part of preparations for Poland’s next offshore wind auction, planned for 2027, which will award two-sided contracts for difference (CfDs) for up to 25 years.

Baltic West is a 4 GW project comprising four sites in the Oder Bank region: 14.E.1 (800 MW), 14.E.2 (900 MW), 14.E.3 (1,200 MW) and 14.E.4 (1,200 MW). The planned total installed capacity of Baltic West translates into clean energy for more than 5 million households in Poland, according to Orlen, which anticipates the Baltic West sites to enter commercial operation from 2034 onwards.

At the beginning of this year, the developer signed a land reservation agreement with the Kołobrzeg Sea Port Authority for a site that would house an operations and maintenance (O&M) base for its Baltic West development.
