- TotalEnergies and KHGM form a 50/50 partnership for the auction scheme.
- Poland aims to have 5.9GW of offshore wind installed by 2030 and 11GW by 2040.
TotalEnergies, a French energy company, and KGHM, a Polish state-owned miner, have partnered to compete in the Polish government’s offshore wind development tender, covering 11 locations in the Polish Baltic Sea.
Yesterday, the companies announced that they had formed a partnership to compete in the auction scheme on a 50/50 basis. The 11 locations are expected to liberate over 10GW of capacity, and the partners are vying for one or more projects to be awarded.
TotalEnergies’ offshore expertise, large-scale project management, and supply chain links will be combined with KGHM’s knowledge of the Polish market, according to the statement.
The decision is in keeping with KGHM’s goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050. “We’re acquiring several onshore and offshore projects. We’ve also submitted preliminary applications for the next set of licenses in the Baltic,” said Marcin Chludzinski, head of KGHM Polska Miedz SA’s management board.
