In August 2016 plans for the lignite strip mine to supply the proposed plant were suspended by an administrative decision of the Regional Directorate for Environmental Protection. The Directorate said there were gaps in the mine plan that undercut the extent of the environmental effects, and called on PGE to remedy the deficiencies. Until then the permitting process is considered suspended. PGE said they plan to continue with the project.<ref>[http://www.greenpeace.org/poland/pl/wydarzenia/polska/Plany-budowy-kopalni-odkrywkowej-w-Gubinie-wstrzymane/ "Plany budowy kopalni odkrywkowej w Gubinie wstrzymane,"] Greenpeace Poland, Aug 10, 2016</ref>
In May 2017 PGE said the decision to move the project forward will be taken after 2020, and said they are considering building a nuclear plant instead of a coal plant.<ref>[http://www.cire.pl/item,145666,1,0,0,0,0,0,pge-decyzja-o-budowie-elektrowni-jadrowej-po-2020-roku.html "PGE: decyzja o budowie elektrowni jądrowej po 2020 roku,"] Cire, May 15, 2017</ref>
