On 17 December 2025, the AMFW/1/2025 offshore-wind auction was held electronically via the URE Online Auction Platform between 08:00 and 18:00 CET, closing Poland's first Phase II competitive procedure under the Offshore Wind Promotion Act 2020. Four generators participated, of which three were selected as winners: Baltic East (ORLEN Neptun VIII, 900 MW), Baltica 9 (PGE, 975 MW) and Bałtyk I (Polenergia/Equinor, 1,560 MW) — a combined 3.435 GW against the 4 GW cap. The 'forced competition' rule applied: bids jointly may not exceed 90% of the total installed capacity covered by all bids. Auction participants undertook to feed first power to the grid within 7 years of the auction-close date.
