PGE Baltica moves its headquarters from Warsaw to Gdańsk
PGE Baltica, the PGE Group company responsible for offshore wind, has moved its main headquarters from Warsaw to Gdańsk. The transfer was signed on Monday, 19 October, in Gdańsk during the presentation of the PGE Group's updated strategy to 2035. The new office is in the Tryton building at ul. Jana z Kolna 11. The company will keep a presence in Warsaw for its work with central government, financial institutions and the PGE Group, but the centre of gravity of its business is now on the coast.
In brief
PGE Baltica moved its headquarters from Warsaw to Gdańsk, to the Tryton building at Jana z Kolna Street 11. The deed transferring PGE Baltica's headquarters was signed on Monday 19 October in Gdańsk, during the presentation of the PGE Group strategy to 2035. PGE Baltica's projects Baltica 2, Baltica 3 and Baltica 9 are to deliver 3.8 GW of capacity by 2032. PGE Baltica's Gdańsk office has operated since 2024 and employs more than 50 people, while the whole company employs more than 250.
From planning to construction and operation
The company explains the move by the transition of its offshore projects from preparation to execution, construction and asset management. Gdańsk has been one of its key locations from the start. PGE Baltica has run an office there since 2024, employing more than 50 people, mainly engineers and local content specialists working with the domestic supply chain.
- Moving the headquarters to Gdańsk is a natural consequence of the development of our offshore projects. Pomerania is today the centre of Polish offshore wind, and proximity to key partners, ports and the contractor base will allow us to deliver strategic investments in the Baltic even more efficiently - said Dariusz Lubera, President of the Management Board of PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna.
Piotr Dziubałtowski, PGE's Vice President for Support and Development, said at the ceremony that offshore wind, built within the group from scratch, has become one of its largest business lines. He stressed that wind farms are a business for decades: after construction they face 25-30 years of operation, and an organisation managing them from Gdańsk should benefit Pomeranian industry throughout that time.
3.8 GW by 2032 and more than 250 staff
Bartosz Fedurek, President of the Management Board of PGE Baltica, recalled that the first offshore wind plans in the predecessor companies of today's PGE Group date back to 2006-2007 and envisaged three farms of 300 MW each. Today Baltica 2 is under construction, and Baltica 3 and Baltica 9 are at an advanced stage of preparation. Together they add up to 3.8 GW by 2032 and around 14 TWh a year, equivalent to the demand of about 6 million households. The portfolio also includes Baltica 1 and Baltica 7. PGE Baltica employs more than 250 people in total.
- Moving our headquarters to Gdańsk is a natural stage in PGE Baltica's development. We want to be even closer to the region where the Polish offshore wind sector is concentrated. The decision underlines our long-term commitment to offshore projects and to building strong competences for the country's energy transition. We have built a strong team of experts in Gdańsk. We want to be as close as possible to the places where projects are developed, partnerships are built and the domestic supply chain for offshore wind is growing - Bartosz Fedurek stressed.
Gdańsk, Ustka and the ports: Pomerania's offshore base
The move reflects Pomerania's growing role in Polish offshore wind. Port, service and manufacturing facilities for Baltic wind farms are taking shape along the coast. Baltica 2 turbines will be installed in 2027 from the T5 installation terminal in the Port of Gdańsk, and in Ustka PGE Baltica is completing an operations and maintenance base that will eventually employ around 100 people, with recruitment under way. First power from Baltica 2, developed with Ørsted, is due in the first half of 2027.
- The development of offshore wind is one of the greatest economic opportunities for Gdańsk and the whole of Pomerania. That is why we welcome PGE Baltica's decision to move its headquarters here. It confirms that Gdańsk is today a natural home for companies developing offshore projects and a place where business, science, administration and local entrepreneurs work together effectively - said Aleksandra Dulkiewicz, Mayor of Gdańsk.
On the same day the PGE Group presented its updated strategy to 2035, which envisages around PLN 210 billion of capital expenditure and a return to dividend payments for 2026. Offshore wind is one of its pillars, and decisions on that business will now be taken in Gdańsk.
