RWE’s planned Polish wind farm awarded Contract for Difference
RWE has moved a major step closer to the realisation of its first offshore wind farm in Poland: the Polish Energy Regulatory Office has awarded a Contract for Difference (CfD) to the F.E.W. Baltic II offshore wind project, which will have a planned installed capacity of 350 MW. This confirms that RWE’s project has been selected for the first phase of Poland’s ambitious offshore wind build-out programme. The CfD award is subject to final approval from the European Commission.
In December 2020, RWE signed a Grid Connection Agreement for the F.E.W. Baltic II project, which is located north of the Slupsk sand bank in the central Polish Baltic Sea exclusive economic zone. Subject to the final investment decision, construction works could commence as early as 2024. Once fully operational, the wind farm would be capable of producing enough green electricity to supply the equivalent of around 350 000 households.
