Current Activities in Poland
Together with Polenergia, we are developing the BaĆtyk triplets, offshore wind projects with a total capacity of 3 GWâenough to power over 4 million households. These projects play a crucial role in achieving Poland's updated energy strategy, which includes reaching 18 GW of offshore wind power by 2040. This exciting project also includes the design and build of a brand-new operations and maintenance base located in the coastal town of Ćeba, creating jobs and fostering awareness of the renewable efforts of Equinor in Poland.
We are also building an onshore renewables portfolio through our subsidiaries Wento and BeGreen.
Wento is a Polish multi-tech power producer operating three solar plants and an onshore wind park with a total capacity of ~200 MW. The company has a project pipeline of over 3 GW in Poland, comprising both generation and battery storage opportunities.
BeGreen is a leading Danish solar developer with a large project pipeline in North Europe, including several solar projects in Poland.
These initiatives underscore Equinorâs commitment to integrating into the local market and driving sustainable growth in Polandâs renewable energy sector. Through these partnerships, we are not only supporting Poland's energy transition but also establishing a strong foothold in the local renewable market, enhancing our contribution to the countryâs energy security and environmental objectives.
We're also a reliable and long-term natural gas supplier to Poland, delivering approximately 2.4 billion cubic meters of gas annually from the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
A Valued Partnership for Poland's Energy Future
Equinor deeply values collaboration in advancing Polandâs energy transition. We go beyond just energy projects, engaging with local communities, industries, and stakeholders to foster trust and cooperation, driving positive change towards a low-carbon future.
We are committed to empowering our team to deliver impactful solutions tailored to the needs of the communities we serve. Our efforts are exemplified in Ćeba, where we are constructing a state-of-the-art operations and maintenance base for the BaĆtyk triplets. This facility not only spearheads technological advancements but also serves as a cornerstone for community interaction, particularly through our Heroes of Tomorrow initiative with the Ćeba Sailing Club. This partnership educates and engages local youth in the benefits and possibilities of wind energy, demonstrating our commitment to both community and environmental stewardship.
