ORLEN sets new standards for ESG transparency, joining global TNFD initiative

At the 30th UN Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Belém, Brazil, ORLEN joined a select group of companies and financial institutions committed to implementing the recommendations of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) in their non-financial reporting. As one of the first organisations in Poland to do so, ORLEN will include information on its nature-related impacts into the ESG disclosures.

ORLEN’s second offshore wind farm moves a step closer: Baltic East secures environmental decision

ORLEN has taken another step towards building a strong offshore wind sector in Poland. The Baltic East project has received an environmental decision setting out the conditions for the development of an offshore wind farm, issued by the Regional Directorate for Environmental Protection in Gdańsk (RDOŚ). The project will deliver approximately 1 GW of installed capacity, enough to supply more than 1.25 million households with clean energy.

First turbines with Polish-made nacelles installed at the ORLEN Group's offshore wind farm

Next 15 MW turbines have been installed at the Baltic Power offshore wind farm, including the first three equipped with Polish nacelles manufactured at the Vestas plant in Szczecin. The investment developed by ORLEN Group and Northland Power is currently the most advanced offshore wind farm project in the Polish part of the Baltic Sea. The first megawatt-hours of electricity from the wind farm are expected to be delivered as early as next year. It is estimated that Polish entities will account for over 20% of the total value of the project throughout its 30-year operational lifespan.

Seabed surveys completed for the ORLEN Group’s next offshore wind farm

For nearly four months, preliminary seismic and geotechnical seabed surveys were carried out across the Baltic East offshore wind project area by three specialist units from a consortium of Polish companies: ORLEN Petrobaltic, Geofizyka Toruń and MEWO. During the campaign, a team of qualified researchers, technicians, and operators completed over one thousand kilometres of seismic lines, along with numerous soundings and boreholes. The data collected will enable ORLEN Neptun to develop the next key stages of the project.

Partnership for improved safety and security – agreement with the National Police Headquarters and PLN 15 million for equipment from the ORLEN Foundation

ORLEN and the National Police Headquarters are joining forces to protect critical infrastructure more effectively and counter emerging threats. To this end, the parties have signed a collaboration agreement covering coordination, education, and training. The partnership will, among other things, help develop capabilities for effective responses to physical and cyber threats and strengthen operational readiness to safeguard ORLEN Group assets. Complementing these efforts is a PLN 15 million donation from the ORLEN Foundation to purchase vehicles for the Police. The funds will help the services responsible for public safety perform this mission even more effectively.

Power from the Baltic draws nearer: key component installed at the Baltic Power offshore wind farm

Baltic Power, a joint venture between ORLEN and Canada’s Northland Power, has completed the installation of two offshore substations, each weighing 2,500 tonnes. These are a key element of Poland’s first offshore wind farm and will collect the electricity generated by the turbines and transmit it to shore. Parts of both substations were manufactured at facilities in Gdynia and Gdańsk.

ORLEN secures PLN 3.5 billion from the National Recovery Plan for offshore wind development

In line with its strategy, ORLEN is consistently expanding low- and zero-emission generation capacities, materially strengthening the energy security of Poland and the wider region. A key pillar of these efforts is investment in offshore wind. To advance these projects, the Group has secured PLN 3.5 billion from the National Recovery Plan (KPO) under agreements signed with Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego (BGK).

ORLEN strengthens hydrogen capabilities in Pomerania with expert advisory support for Amber Hydrogen Valley
