With reference to the current report 20/2021 of July 15, 2021, ZE PAK Spółka Akcyjna ("Company") informs that on May 22, 2023, in open court, the judgment of the Provincial Administrative Court in Warsaw was announced, in which the Provincial Administrative Court repealed the decision of the Minister of Climate of November 21, 2022 (DIŚ-III.415.63.2021) appealed by the Greenpeace Polska Foundation - ref. IV SA/Wa 167/23. At the same time, the Provincial Administrative Court in Warsaw - did not repeal and did not annul the decision of the first instance authority, i.e. the decision of the Marshal (of October 2, 2020 on adapting the integrated permit for the operation of the Fuel Combustion Installation at Pątnów and Konin Power Plants to the requirements of the BAT conclusions, granting a derogation from the emission limit values) and the decision of the Marshal of Wielkopolska Region of December 30, 2021, reference number DSK-III.7222.93.2021 and the decision of the Marshal of December 30, 2021, reference number DSK-III.7222.191.2021.
The above means that the Company may still use the granted exemptions from emission limit values and operate generation assets at Pątnów Power Plant and Konin Power Plant.
The judgment is not final. The Company will make a decision as to whether to file a cassation complaint within the statutory deadline for its submission. Currently, the company is waiting for the Provincial Administrative Court to deliver a written justification for this judgment.
