History of partnership
We were the first in the Polish market to join forces to open a new chapter in the Polish energy industry. The Polish-Norwegian consortium formed to build offshore wind farms in the Baltic has become a benchmark for other such projects. We are implementing the three wind farm projects in the Baltic Sea through three joint ventures in which both partners have a 50 percent stake each.
Equinor acts as the operator during the development, construction and operation phase, while Polenergia is responsible for obtaining all permits and the management of national matters related to the development of the projects. Equinor is a leading developer and operator of offshore wind energy in the world. Polenergia is the largest private energy group in Poland.
