Siemens has responded to Rosatom’s allegations about its involvement in Turkey’s Akkuyu Nuclear project.

Siemens Energy, a German company, has announced that it has obtained the required export permits for the equipment needed to complete the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant project in Turkey. The company had been waiting for an extended period for approval from Germany’s export control authority. This development comes as a response to Rosatom’s intention to take legal action against Siemens Energy over the delay in delivery of the equipment. Rosatom, a Russian state nuclear energy corporation, had previously sourced alternative equipment from Chinese suppliers and has already received deliveries at the Akkuyu site. Despite this, Rosatom intends to take legal action against Siemens Energy, claiming delays and additional costs due to the company’s failure to deliver the necessary equipment. Siemens Energy has emphasized that it has always followed legal obligations and international sanctions in its dealings with Rosatom. The company has also secured €7.5 billion in credit guarantees from the German government to protect against potential compensation claims.
