Ocean Winds: We Have a Competitive Advantage Because We’re Just Starting

The prospects for offshore wind energy development in Poland look promising, particularly in the context of recent difficulties in mature European markets. According to Kacper Kostrzewa, Managing Director of Ocean Winds in Poland, unsuccessful offshore auctions in Germany, the Netherlands, and Denmark signal a clear slowdown in investments in these countries.

The Advantage of a Late Start

Paradoxically, Poland’s later entry into the offshore wind energy market may prove to be an asset. This situation creates a unique opportunity for countries just beginning their offshore adventure to make a significant developmental leap.

“We can learn from the experiences of those who have been developing offshore for years, while utilizing more modern and efficient technology,” emphasizes Kacper Kostrzewa.

The BC-Wind Project in the Polish Baltic Sea

Ocean Winds is actively implementing the BC-Wind offshore wind farm project in the Polish part of the Baltic Sea, with a capacity of up to 390 MW. The company is currently focusing on key preparatory stages.

“In the near future, we will concentrate on making the final investment decision and closing the financing, which we plan to complete by the end of this year,” informs Director Kostrzewa.

Collaboration with Polish Industry

A significant element of Ocean Winds’ strategy is the involvement of local industry. The company places particular emphasis on so-called local content, planning intensive cooperation with Polish companies from across the country.

These declarations were presented during Offshore Wind Poland 2025 – the largest conference in this part of Europe dedicated to offshore wind energy development, organized by the Polish Wind Energy Association (PSEW).
