Regulatory Other

On 23 November 2022, the Regional Administrative Court in Warsaw (Wojewódzki Sąd Administracyjny w Warszawie) issued an order to suspend court proceedings related to a complaint filed by Baltic Power Sp. z o.o. against the General Director for Environmental Protection’s 29 June 2022 environmental decision for the Baltic Power offshore wind farm. The suspension followed Baltic Power’s separate request of 2 August 2022 to have that environmental decision amended, which triggered a new administrative procedure at the environmental authority. The court’s order effectively paused the judicial review while the amendment process for the environmental decision was underway, avoiding parallel proceedings on the same decision. This ruling represents a procedural but important regulatory step in the project’s permitting history, clarifying that further consideration of the original appeal would wait until the amendment procedure concluded.
