The first wind farm to be operated from the Ustka base will be 1.5-GW Baltica 2, which PGE is building in the Baltic Sea together with Denmark's Ørsted. Its construction started on January 30, 2025.

The O&M base will include an office building, a warehouse, a maneuvering area and a quay where service units will moor to transport crews to the offshore wind farm area. The commissioning of the base is planned for the fourth quarter of 2026.

PGE Baltica, responsible for the offshore assets of PGE, coordinates the construction of three wind farms. Jointly with Denmark's Ørsted, PGE is the investor in Baltica 2 and Baltica 3 -- the two stages of the 2.5-GW Baltica Offshore Wind Farm, to be completed by 2030. Then, after 2030, the 900-MW Baltica 1 wind power plant will join the group's portfolio.
