Baltic Towers was established in 2023 as a result of cooperation between the Polish Industrial Development Agency JSC (Agencja Rozwoju Przemysłu S.A.) and the Spanish leader in the renewable energy sector, GRI Renewable Industries, S.L. In Gdańsk, on Ostrów Island, a modern offshore wind tower manufacturing plant was built—one of the largest investments of its kind in Europe—supporting the development of the offshore wind sector.
Operating under the direct supervision of the Ministry of State Assets, the company aims to support Polish industry by promoting its development and innovation. The long-term strategy of Industrial Development Agency JSC focuses on transforming its portfolio of industrial assets and developing assets related to renewable energy, with particular emphasis on offshore wind energy. Over 30 years of activity, ARP S.A. has invested more than EUR 4.6 billion, creating 75,000 jobs. These investments include direct equity contributions, grants, and various forms of loans.
GRI Renewable Industries, S.L. is a company with over fifteen years of experience that has become a key player in the wind energy industry, operating a total of 22 factories across 9 countries: Spain, Brazil, India, China, the United States, Turkey, the Republic of South Africa, and Argentina. It was founded in 2008 as a manufacturer of towers and flanges for the wind energy sector, demonstrating its strong specialization and expertise in this field. GRI, S.L. strives to grow as a sustainable and responsible company, in line with the principles of sustainable development and respect for human rights.
Wind energy is the future and hope of future generations, as well as a long-term and secure investment. Offshore wind energy is currently one of the fastest-growing branches of the energy sector in Europe, especially in Poland. The Polish wind energy sector actively works towards transforming the energy landscape we live in. Our company, Baltic Towers, is driven by the need for change, modernization, and, above all, active participation in progress and development of Polish economy and local society. It is particularly important for us to collaborate with our esteemed Spanish partner to collectively share knowledge and expertise, creating a project that will transform the landscape of Polish energy. In Baltic Towers, we envision a future where we can take pride in contributing to the generation of clean energy and sharing it with the rest of the world.
A facility with access to the quayside will enable the creation of a production hall dedicated to manufacturing towers for wind turbines with a capacity of 15 MW and above. The production hall, covering an area of 6.2 hectares, will be equipped with heavy lifting capabilities; it can produce sections weighing up to 500 tons, 50 meters in length, and 10 meters in diameter. The facility will have production capacity sufficient to manufacture over 150 towers annually. The investment will contribute to the creation of 500 new specialized job positions, which will have a significant impact on the local community. The factory is a crucial element in strengthening the Polish supply chain for offshore wind energy.
