Chance of delivery

estimated chance this project reaches commercial operation
Advanced Development projects complete ≈75% of the time on Hafrok's record. A secured offtake contract puts this one well above that; a market with a thinner delivery record and technical complexity weigh only slightly against it.

How Hafrok got this date
1
Starting point: the last dated milestone
Consent granted in
2024. From there Hafrok adds how long similar projects (in developing offshore-wind markets) took to reach commercial operation, measured on projects that have delivered.2
Typical timing
Starting point plus the typical remaining time gives a middle estimate of
2029; the faster quarter of similar projects would be done by 2027, the slower quarter not until 2029.3
Result
Expected commercial operation
2029, likely range 2027–2029 (the middle half of outcomes for similar projects). The typical time from consent is used.4
Year-by-year chart
The bars spread that estimate across years using how similar projects actually slipped against their dates — more often late than early, which is why the bars lean right.
5
Chance of delivery — separate from timing
Start from the share of Advanced Development projects that went on to complete — ≈75%, measured on Hafrok's record of delivered and abandoned projects, with an allowance held back where that record cannot yet speak (projects still unresolved, changed market conditions). Consented projects have historically completed at very high rates, but the 2023–25 downturn showed consented-but-unfinanced projects can still fail — the estimate holds back for the offtake and financing gates still ahead. Then adjust for this project's own evidence — offtake, market, size, technical complexity — to ≈82%, which rates it

RWE announced the sale of 100% of RWE Offshore Wind Poland sp. z o.o. (holding F.E.W. Baltic II, 350 MW) to PGE's subsidiary Baltica 9 sp. z o.o. A conditional agreement was signed 25 November 2025; the announcement was made public on 18 December 2025 following the Phase II offshore auction results. Transaction expected to close Q1 2026, subject to regulatory conditions. Financial terms not disclosed. F.E.W. Baltic II holds a Phase I CfD (PLN 319.60/MWh, awarded April 2021), full location permits, a seabed cable location licence (SCLL), and building permits (granted December 2024 by Voivode of West Pomerania). Combined with adjacent Baltica 9 (975 MW, Phase II CfD winner), it will form Baltica 9+ (~1.3 GW). RWE retains 660+ MW of onshore wind and solar in Poland. CEO Utermöhlen: "PGE is better positioned to realise this project than RWE on a standalone basis." Project was in consented stage at announcement (all permits in place, pre-FID).

From Hafrok’s transactions record
Dashed tick marks today (9 Sep 2026). The teal diamond on the spine is origination — the seabed award or round that created the project. Every other ownership event lives in the band below: one station per recorded deal, dated at its label, in deal order rather than to calendar scale. Secondary trades appear only at the interchanges; grey lines are parties whose entry or exit Hafrok’s record does not hold.
