Rubezh Company won a lawsuit and was exempted from paying a penalty of $5.4 million for refusing to supply fire systems for the Turkish Akkuyu NPP. The Thirteenth Arbitration Court of Appeal recognized that Rubezh did not start manufacturing equipment because its partner (Elektropult Plant) did not provide up-to-date technical documentation in time.
Rubezh was supposed to manufacture and install fire protection control systems for four power units of the NPP under a contract signed in 2020. But there were problems with the technical specifications, which did not meet Turkish standards. As a result, Rubezh was forced to withdraw from the project, and Elektropult Plant terminated the contract with it.
The court found that Elektropult Plant did not fulfill its obligations to provide the necessary documentation. This caused delays.
Rubezh was unable to start production and purchase of materials. The court also noted that Elektropult Plant did not suffer financial losses from Rubezh's withdrawal from the project, as the delay began before the contract was concluded.
Now Rubezh is demanding compensation from Elektropult Plant for losses in the amount of $1.8 million for work performed in preparation for the order. The court of first instance confirmed this requirement, and now Elektropult Plant may become a debtor.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Turkish "daughter" of Rosatom was denied a claim for 365 million rubles against a Russian contractor.
