The Association of Brown Coal Producers in Poland has identified the deposit as a possible source of fuel for power plants.[2]
In 2015 a local referendum in Gmina Babiak opposed PAK KWB Konin's proposed open-pit mining of the deposit.[3] In 2020, PAK KWB Konin, a subsidiary of the polish utility company ZE PAK, decided to not develop the Dęby Szlacheckie lignite deposit.[4]
