NO LIGNITE FOR POLAND
ENERDATA - 25 May 2021 - The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has ordered Poland to immediately stop lignite mining activities at the Turów open-pit mine near the Czech and German borders, following a lawsuit filed by Czechia over environmental concerns. In February 2021, the Czech Republic lodged a complaint to the ECJ, after Poland extended the license of the Turow mine until 2026 (it expired in April 2021) and until 2044 (extension granted in April 2021). According to the Czech side, Poland failed to consult neighbouring countries, breaching EU laws, and mining operations would drain water supplies in Czechia. Polska Grupa Energetyczna (PGE), the operator of the mine, will have to stop mining operations until a final judgement is delivered.
