The Administrative Court of Sweden dismissed the order requiring the applicant to seek permits for existing hydroelectric plants and dams.

MÖD har bedömt att det inte varit proportionerligt med ett föreläggande om att ansöka om tillstånd för befintliga vattenkraftverk och dammar samt för den verksamhet som bedrivs vid anläggningarna då verksamheten omfattas av den nationella planen för moderna miljövillkor. Föreläggandet har därför upphävts.
