On 24 July 2025, the Regional Director for Environmental Protection in Szczecin (acting through Second Deputy Regional Director Andrzej Miluch) issued a ruling under case file WONS.420.17.2025.KK.3 determining that the Energa MFW 1 offshore wind farm project (area 14.E.1, 812 MW, 82.44 km²) shall be subject to a transboundary environmental impact assessment under Article 108 of the EIA Act 2008. The ruling identifies Denmark, Germany and Sweden as the affected neighbouring states (project lies ~12.3 km from the Danish EEZ, ~14 km from the German EEZ, ~130 km from the Swedish EEZ) and directs the applicant to prepare the EIA documentation — including a part of the Raport OOŚ enabling assessment of significant transboundary impact — in English and German, pursuant to the 10 October 2018 Neuhardenberg agreement between Poland and Germany on transboundary EIA. The procedure is administered jointly with GDOŚ (Generalna Dyrekcja Ochrony Środowiska), which leads cross-border consultation under the Espoo Convention. This is the first substantive regulatory determination on the project following the 27 June 2025 DŚU application.
