Energy - Federal Administrative Court: Rulings on Datteln 4 power plant

The Federal Administrative Court will announce its decision on the legality of the development plan for the Datteln 4 coal-fired power plant this Thursday (1 p.m.). The environmental association BUND, the town of Waltrop and several local residents consider the plan to be invalid and have filed a lawsuit. The North Rhine-Westphalian Higher Administrative Court ruled in their favor and declared the plan unlawful due to errors in the choice of location. The highest German administrative court in Leipzig must now decide on the appeals lodged by the town of Datteln and the power plant operator Uniper against this ruling.
