The project, with an installed capacity of 390 megawatts (MW), “is moving from the development phase to the construction phase,” said Engie in a statement.

Engie leads the project through Ocean Winds, its offshore wind energy joint venture with EDP Renováveis.

The project is supported by the European Investment Bank (EIB), contributing “almost a third of the total amount,” along with Spain’s Instituto Oficial de Crédito (ICO) and 13 commercial banks.

“The BC-Wind project is expected to produce its first megawatts in 2028 and, when fully operational, will provide renewable electricity to nearly half a million Polish homes,” the statement noted.

Located in the Baltic Sea, 23 kilometers off the coast, the wind farm will consist of 26 turbines, each with a capacity of 14 MW, capable of increasing production to 15 MW for a total capacity of up to 390 MW.

“Our first offshore wind farm on the Polish coast, BC-Wind, reinforces our presence in a rapidly developing market, where Engie already operates 360 MW of 100% renewable capacity,” stated Engie’s Executive Vice President, Paulo Almirante, responsible for Renewables and Flexibility.
