Are you internationally active in the offshore wind energy? And are you curious about your business opportunities in the Baltic Sea? Consider joining the trade mission to Lithuania and Poland from September 18 – 2!, 2023!

Poland aims to have an installed capacity of 6GW of offshore wind energy by 2030. The country is aiming for 11GW in 2040 but there are plans to even expand to 18GW. To realize these ambitions, an auction of 2GW will be held every 2 years from 2025 on. Lithuania is also increasing capacity and is currently hosting its first 1.4GW auction. The announcement of a further 2GW is expected shortly.

Opportunities for Dutch companies

These developments in the Baltic states provide opportunities for Dutch companies in the offshore wind energy. In Poland there is a need for expertise in the supply chain and port logistics, in Lithuania for specialists in the engineering and development phase.

To further explore the opportunities for the Dutch wind sector and to develop business relationships, the Embassy in Lithuania, the PIB cluster LinkedbyOffshoreWind and the Netherlands Wind Energy Association (NWEA) are organizing a 2-in-1 trade mission to Lithuania and Poland.
