Renewable energy sources (RES) are, and will remain, a key growth area for the ORLEN Group. Our installed RES capacity is set to increase significantly, growing from the current 1.5 GW to 9 GW by 2030 and further to 12.8 GW by 2035.
Our future development will primarily focus on offshore and onshore wind, as well as photovoltaic assets, both in Poland and abroad. We are committed to expanding our RES portfolio to meet our own energy demands and to address the growing need for zero-emission energy, which is essential for decarbonizing the power generation, industrial, and transport sectors.
Our plans for building low- and zero-emission power capacities are grounded in utilizing the most efficient technologies, enabling the modernization of this segment of our operations.

Offshore wind energy is one of the pillars of the energy transition in the ORLEN Group’s development strategy. The Group’s portfolio includes licenses for the development of six offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea. The first one – Baltic Power – will add 1.2 GW of renewable capacity to the national grid in 2026. The remaining five locations are part of ORLEN Neptun’s projects, with a total capacity of approximately 5.2 GW. The most advanced of these is the Baltic East project, with a capacity of around 1 GW. It is estimated that this project, located on the Słupsk Bank, will begin generating electricity in 2032. Meanwhile, the Baltic West cluster, located on the Odra Bank with a total capacity of around 4.1 GW, is expected to start producing renewable energy from 2034 onwards.
By 2035, we plan to develop additional licenses, contributing to emission reductions and supporting the decarbonization of Poland’s energy mix. To mitigate risks to invested capital, we consistently establish strategic partnerships. In 2025 Świnoujście Offshore Terminal – our first logistics hub and installation port for offshore wind projects – was officially launched.
