Orlen Neptun has started a wind measurement campaign for its Baltic West offshore wind project in Poland using floating V-LiDAR systems supplied by Partrac, a Venterra company. The certified measurement systems will collect wind resource data to support the project's development.
The campaign will provide verified wind data for project design, modelling and future financing decisions, ahead of Poland's 2027 offshore wind auction. Two V-LiDAR systems will be deployed in the Baltic West project area. The scope has also been extended to include a third system to provide direct wind measurements for the Baltic East project.
Baltic West is part of Poland's second phase of offshore wind development. Orlen Neptun is developing four sites on the Oder Bank, with a combined expected capacity of approximately 4 GW. The portfolio also includes Baltic East, a separate 900 MW offshore wind project.
