20. CONCLUSIONS
www.ptmew.pl
1. Polish economy and the coastal regions
face the unique development chance
according to the development of the offshore
wind energy in Europe.
2. Polish EEZ secures the highest location
capacity in the Baltic Sea region.
3. To use this chance and the location
potential, proper political and
economical decisions and the suitable
strategic planning at the central and
regional level are required.
