Scheduled to begin in the first half of May 2025 and conclude by mid-June, the survey aims to provide a detailed assessment of the area’s geological structure. Analytical work and results are expected to be delivered by November 2025. PGE Baltica stated: “The seismic method will allow for accurate mapping of the geological structure up to 100 meters below the surface and will help identify risk factors, such as shallow gas pockets, paleochannels, and layers of boulder clay.”
The survey will offer critical insights into the potential of the Baltica 9 site, which spans 121 square kilometers and was one of five areas granted to PGE in 2023. The wind farm is projected to have an installed capacity of approximately 975 MW, contributing significantly to Poland’s renewable energy goals. The site’s proximity to other PGE offshore wind projects and a service port under construction in Ustka enhances its strategic importance. The port is expected to be operational by the fourth quarter of 2026.
This geophysical study is a key step in ensuring the safe and efficient development of the Baltica 9 wind farm. By identifying geological risks and mapping subsurface conditions, the survey will support informed decision-making for the project’s design and construction phases. A PGE Baltica representative noted: “This research is essential for assessing the site’s viability and advancing our commitment to sustainable energy production.”
The Baltica 9 project aligns with efforts to expand clean energy infrastructure in Poland, supporting the transition to renewable energy sources. The collaboration with Geofizyka Toruń SA underscores PGE Baltica’s focus on leveraging advanced technology and expertise to develop offshore wind energy, contributing to both environmental sustainability and regional economic growth.
