In Russia, tender on construction of a new thermal power station in Taman, which was supposed to supply electricity to Crimea, didn’t take place because of lack of investor applications. The tender failed to take place due to the fear of investors to fall under the EU sanctions, Reuters informs.
“From the political point of view, it is a very risky project. Financial conditions do not justify such a risk,” an anonymous source in one of the energy companies explained to Reuters.
The prospect to fall under sanctions made Russian departments of the German company E.On, Italian Enel and Finnish Fortum refuse from participation in the project.
As a reminder, construction of two thermal power stations near Simferopol and Sevastopol has been protracted in Crimea due to the lack of funding.
