Stock Photo - 16 January 2023, North Rhine-Westphalia, Münster: At the start of the trial before the Administrative Court of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia on the Trianel coal-fired power plant in Lünen, the parties to the proceedings stand in the hall of the Mövenpick Hotel in Münster. The plaintiff is the Bund für Umwelt und Naturschutz Deutschland (BUND). The dispute is about a preliminary decision under immission control law and several partial permits for the billion-euro investment operated for eight years by the municipal utility association Trianel. The Federal Administrative Court had overturned earlier permits in 2019 and referred them back to Münster for a retrial. Further dates are January 20 and February 3 (Ref.: 8 D 99/13.AK).
