Poland has announced that its first offshore wind auction will take place in December 2025, aiming to award contracts for up to 4 GW of new capacity. In anticipation, Equinor and Polenergia are preparing to submit a pre-qualification application for their Bałtyk 1 offshore wind project.

According to the Energy Regulatory Office (ERO), the auction is scheduled for December 17, 2025, and will be conducted electronically via the Online Auction Platform. The session will run from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. local time.

ERO stated that up to 4 GW of total installed offshore wind capacity may qualify for negative balance coverage in this auction. Bidders must propose electricity prices that do not exceed the maximum rate set by the Regulation of the Minister of Climate and Environment, published on January 9, 2025.

The auction will follow a competitive format, selecting projects that offer the most advantageous electricity sale prices. Successful bids will benefit from a 25-year contract for difference support scheme.

Participation is contingent upon successfully completing the pre-qualification process managed by the Energy Regulatory Office.
