Cuxhaven/Karlsruhe, August 20, 2020 - Today, the Federal Constitutional Court published a Senate resolution regarding constitutional appeal against the provisions of WindSeeG (file no. 1 BvR 1679/17). PNE welcomes the fact that the Federal Constitutional Court has thus strengthened the principle of protection of confidence. PNE will analyse and evaluate the reasons for the decision.
