A court in Germany has said no to energy giant Eon’s demands for compensation for the temporary closure of nuclear power plants that the company was forced to make in 2011.
The verdict on Monday should be seen in light of the fact that several major energy companies have taken legal battle against the state.
Germany’s oldest reactors shut down for three months after the disaster the Japanese Fukushima 2011. the moratorium was soon followed by legislation that led to the decision on a definitive, early decommissioning of nuclear power plants in Germany.
Vattenfall is one of four major energy companies involved in the settlement and want compensation. Just moratorium in 2011 touched but not Vattenfall reactors at Brunsbüttel and Krümmel, which were shut down then.
A lot of court cases in progress, the states and federal agencies. The companies requested according to Reuters 25 billion euros (almost 235 billion).
Eon had requested 382 million euros (3.5 billion) for the moratorium in 2011.
