en.Wedoany.com Reported - The PSEW 2026 conference, the largest wind energy event in Poland and Central and Eastern Europe, was held from June 8 to 10 in Świnoujście, focusing on onshore and offshore wind power, grid infrastructure, permitting, financing, and supply chain skills. The West Pomeranian Voivodeship (Zachodniopomorskie) was one of the main sponsors.

The West Pomeranian Voivodeship is the leading region in Poland for installed wind power capacity, reaching 2.6 GW, ahead of Greater Poland (1.7 GW), Pomerania (1.5 GW), and Kuyavia-Pomerania (1.0 GW). In 2025, the region's renewable energy self-sufficiency rate was estimated at approximately 130%, meaning it produces more renewable electricity annually than it consumes.

Regional Marshal Olgierd Geblewicz stated that the province's onshore wind potential is 16 to 27 GW with a 700-meter setback distance, and 20 to 34 GW with a 500-meter setback distance; offshore industrial activities are progressing through projects in Szczecin and the region, including nacelle and hub production, tower and cable factories, as well as the construction of cable-laying and service vessels. He described a new initiative called the "European Wind Power Factory" as a 15-year industrial roadmap for the offshore wind sector.

Speakers included Minister of State Assets Wojciech Balczun, Minister of Climate and Environment Paulina Hennig-Kloska, and Minister of Energy Miłosz Motyka. For the Baltic Sea region, this conference showcased how Poland is closely integrating wind power development with energy security and regional industrial strategy.
