Announcement by the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency on transboundary participation in accordaning to the Espoo Convention for four planned offshore wind farms in areas ‘14.E.1’, ‘14.E.2’, ‘14.E.3’ and ‘14.E.4’ in the Polish exclusive economic zone of the Baltic Sea.

  • General

The Regional Director for Environmental Protection in Szczecin, as the competent authority, is conducting the environmental impact assessment procedure for the construction, operation and decommissioning of four proposed offshore wind farms (OWF) in areas 14.E.1, 14.E.2, 14.E.3 and 14.E.4 of the Polish EEZ in the Baltic Sea.
The OWFs will be located in the western part of the Polish EEZ in the immediate vicinity of the Danish EEZ (area 14.E.3), approximately 14 km from the German EEZ (the nearest area 14.E.2) and 113.5 km from the Swedish EEZ (the nearest area 14.E.3). Due to the location of the planned projects and potential transboundary impacts, in particular cumulative impacts, the documentation for all four OWFs is being submitted together. The location of the planned OWFs 14.E.1, 14.E.2, 14.E.3 and 14.E.4 is shown in Figure 1.

OWF 14.E.1
The area of OFW 14.E.1, within which the turbines and accompanying infrastructure will be installed,is 82.44 km2. The maximum installed capacity will be 812 MW. The maximum number of turbines will be 54.

OFW 14.E.2
The area of OFW 14.E.2, within which the turbines and accompanying infrastructure will be installed, is 91.8 km2. The maximum installed capacity will be 896 MW. The maximum number of turbines will be 59.

OFW 14.E.3
The area of OFW 14.E.3, within which the turbines and accompanying infrastructure will be installed, is 125.89 km2. The maximum installed capacity will be 1204 MW. The maximum number of turbines is 80.

OFW 14.E.4
The area of MFW 14.E.4, within which the turbines and accompanying infrastructure will be installed, is 147.69 km2. The maximum installed capacity will be 1204 MW. The maximum number of turbines is 80.

Information on the planned project can be found from 29.08.2025 to 12.09.2025 on the Application and Participation Portal for Transport and Offshore Projects
