About the Project.
According to Poland’s Energy Policy until 2040, offshore wind farms with a total installed capacity of up to 11 GW will be built in Poland over the next two decades. This emerging industry in the Polish market will create jobs in various sectors, including transport, accommodation, catering, insurance, training, and energy supply.
