Northland Power, based in Canada, has announced the successful installation of the first turbine at the Baltic Power project which is a 1.1GW offshore wind farm in the Baltic Sea. Baltic Power is a joint venture between Northland and ORLEN Group and is expected to be Poland’s first operating offshore wind farm.

In total, 76 turbines will be installed, generating enough clean electricity to power over 1.5m Polish households – equivalent to 3% of the country’s electricity demand. The project is expected to achieve commercial operations in 2026. The turbines feature blades measuring over 115m and a rotor sweep area of nearly 44,000m2.

Baltic Power is a landmark development in Poland’s clean energy transformation and a core component of Northland’s global offshore wind portfolio.
