10月10日 - 俄罗斯国家核公司Rosatom周六表示,国际商会(ICC)仲裁庭在其与芬兰公用事业公司Fennovoima之间关于取消的Hanhikivi-1核电项目的长期争议中作出了有利于其的裁决。
Oct 10 - Russia's state nuclear corporation Rosatom said on Saturday that an International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) tribunal had ruled in its favour in a long-running dispute with Finnish utility Fennovoima over the cancelled Hanhikivi-1 nuclear power project.
Rosatom表示,仲裁庭认定Fennovoima于2022年非法终止了该项目在芬兰北部建设的合同。
Rosatom said the tribunal found that Fennovoima had unlawfully terminated the contract for the construction of the planned plant in northern Finland in 2022.
自Fennovoima于2022年5月因重大延误和政治风险(在俄罗斯发动乌克兰冲突不久后)而废除该70亿欧元(78亿美元)项目以来,双方一直陷入法律纠纷。
The parties have been locked in legal disputes since Fennovoima scrapped the 7-billion-euro ($7.8 billion) project in May 2022, citing significant delays and political risks shortly after Russia launched its conflict in Ukraine.
Rosatom表示,仲裁庭认定该项目在被终止时进展顺利。"今天的胜利很重要,但不是最终的。我们将继续在各级法院证明我们在芬兰项目上的立场是正确的," Rosatom总干事Alexey Likhachev在一份声明中说道。Fennovoima目前尚未对置评请求作出回应。
Rosatom said the tribunal found that the project was making good progress when it was terminated. "Today's victory is important, but not final. We will continue to prove that we are right regarding the Finnish project in courts of various instances," Rosatom Director General Alexey Likhachev said in a statement. Fennovoima did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
该1.2吉瓦特核电站的建设合同于2013年签署,当时Fennovoima是一个由芬兰利益相关方(包括Fortum、Outokumpu和SSAB)通过合资企业最初控制三分之二、俄罗斯一方持有三分之一的财团。
The contract to build the 1.2 gigawatt plant was signed in 2013 with Fennovoima, a consortium in which Finnish stakeholders including Fortum, Outokumpu and SSAB originally controlled two thirds through a joint venture, and the Russian side held one third.
项目终止后,Fennovoima逐步缩减了其业务,目前主要从事法律程序。
After the project's termination, Fennovoima wound down its operations and is primarily engaged in legal proceedings.
