Gdańsk Opens Installation Port for Polish-Danish Wind Farm

Terminal T5 in Gdańsk, on Poland’s Baltic coast, will begin serving Baltica 2 in November 2026. The wind farm is being developed jointly by Polish energy company PGE and Denmark’s Ørsted.

The terminal will support installation of 107 turbines with a combined generating capacity of approximately 1.5 gigawatts. Offshore turbine installation is scheduled for 2027, according to Poland’s Ministry of State Assets. The terminal lease was signed in 2024.

Built on more than 21 hectares of reclaimed land beside the Baltic Hub container port, T5 provides space to unload, prepare and load turbine components before shipment offshore. Poland’s Ministry of Development and Technology says its facilities can accommodate large installation and supply vessels.

Reinforced sections can support loads of up to 40 metric tons per square meter, allowing the terminal to handle heavy offshore wind equipment.

Dariusz Lubera, chief executive of PGE, said Baltica 2 would be the first Polish offshore wind farm whose turbines are installed from a terminal in Poland. PGE is a project developer and therefore has a commercial interest in the investment.

Polish ministers presented the opening as a contribution to energy security and domestic industrial capacity. The completed port infrastructure is a new logistical capability; electricity production remains a subsequent project milestone.

The terminal’s project company, Istrana, is owned 85% by a Polish Development Fund investment fund and 15% by Baltic Hub. Polish contractor NDI carried out construction.
