RWE Renewables has received an environmental permit for its first offshore wind farm in Poland. The decision specifies the environmental conditions for the realization of the F.E.W. Baltic II offshore wind farm, which will be located in the Polish Baltic Sea, near the city of Ustka and has a planned capacity of 350 megawatts (MW).
It was the first Environmental Impact Assessment for a Polish offshore wind project, which has been assessed under a cross-border procedure (ESPOO convention), with the participation of Danish and Swedish stakeholders. Subject to the final investment decision, construction works may start as early as 2024.
Once fully operational, the wind farm will produce enough electricity to supply the equivalent needs of around 350,000 Polish households.
