Equinor and Polenergia supported important summer events in Pomerania 

The Słupsk County Harvest Festival, picnics in Pęplino, Lędowo, and Duninowo, and the Łeba Festival – this summer, Equinor and Polenergia actively participated in five events in Pomerania, which provided an opportunity to meet with residents and tourists. The investors' stands, full of attractions and engaging activities, have encouraged discussions about the future of offshore wind energy and the Bałtyk projects. 

Equinor and Polenergia have been engaged in the life of Pomerania for years, recognizing that the success of offshore wind energy projects involves building lasting relationships with residents and supporting the development of the region. Last weekend, the annual Słupsk County Harvest Festival took place, during which investors once again invited residents and tourists  to join shared activities. The Bałtyk projects booths offered attractions such as a Wheel of Fortune competition with prizes, bag painting with marine designs, and coloring books and games for children. 

The Bałtyk projects stands attracted great interest also during earlier picnics in Pęplino, Lędowo, and Duninowo, as well as at the Łeba Festival. They drew the attention of residents and tourists alike, offering attractions that provided an opportunity to learn more about the Bałtyk projects. A variety of activities were prepared for both children and adults.

Equinor and Polenergia are jointly developing three Bałtyk offshore wind farm projects  with a total capacity of up to 3 GW. The installations, located off the coast of Łeba and Ustka, will supply over 4 million households with clean, renewable energy. A modern service base for the Bałtyk 2 and 3 projects is under construction in the port of Łeba, with its opening planned for 2026. The facility will create several dozen jobs for qualified specialists.
