The German company has failed to deliver prepaid equipment for a power plant being built in Türkiye, according to Rosatom
Russian state-run nuclear corporation Rosatom plans to sue Germany’s Siemens for failing to deliver equipment intended for the Akkuyu power plant in Türkiye, according to CEO Aleksey Likhachev.

俄罗斯国有核能公司罗萨托姆(Rosatom)计划起诉德国西门子公司,原因是西门子未能按期交付为土耳其阿库尤(Akkuyu)核电站建设提供的预付设备,罗萨托姆首席执行官阿列克谢·李哈乔夫(Aleksey Likhachev)表示。

The equipment has been sourced from alternative suppliers to keep construction on track, Likhachev said in an interview with the Russia 24 TV channel on Saturday.
“Obviously, there will be lawsuits. Prepaid equipment was not delivered. It brought us additional costs, both for the specific purchase of equipment and for adjusting the installation time of this equipment. These claims will be filed,” Likhachev stated.

利哈乔夫在周六接受俄罗斯24频道采访时表示,已从其他供应商处采购了设备,以确保建设进度。“显然,肯定会有诉讼。预付款购买的设备没有交付,这给我们带来了额外的成本,包括设备的具体采购费用以及调整设备安装时间的费用。这些索赔将会提出,”利哈乔夫表示。

The Akkuyu NPP, located in Türkiye’s southern Mersin province, is set to become the country’s first nuclear power plant. The project is based on a 2010 agreement between Russia and Türkiye. Its first reactor was initially slated for commissioning in 2023. However, delays have pushed the timeline to next year, according to Likhachev.

阿库尤核电站位于土耳其南部梅尔辛省,预计将成为该国第一座核电站。该项目基于俄罗斯与土耳其于2010年签署的协议。原定于2023年投入使用的首个反应堆,由于延误,项目时间表已推迟至明年,利哈乔夫称。

Rosatom has not yet announced a target date for the first reactor to come online. All four reactors, each capable of producing 1,200 megawatts, are expected to be operational by 2028. Once fully up and running, the $20 billion facility is projected to cover 10% of Türkiye’s electricity needs, Turkish Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Alparslan Bayraktar has stated.

俄罗斯国家原子能公司尚未宣布第一座反应堆上线的目标日期。这四座反应堆预计将于2028年投入运行,每座反应堆的发电能力为1200兆瓦。土耳其能源和自然资源部部长Alparslan Bayraktar表示,一旦完全投入运行,这个耗资200亿美元的设施预计将满足土耳其10%的电力需求。

In July, Likhachev acknowledged that Western sanctions have posed challenges, particularly concerning financial transactions and equipment procurement. Türkiye’s energy minister addressed the situation in September, indicating that Siemens’ non-delivery has caused delays.
He said the decision likely stems from Western restrictions on Russia over the Ukraine conflict. “If Siemens aims to impose sanctions on Russia, then Türkiye is also seriously affected by this,” Bayraktar said. Ankara has already filed a complaint about the matter “at the highest level,” he adding, insisting the German company should “pay a price” for its behavior.

在7月,李哈乔夫承认,西方制裁带来了挑战,特别是在金融交易和设备采购方面。土耳其能源部长在9月回应了这一情况,指出西门子未交付设备导致了工程延误。他表示,这一决定可能源于西方对俄罗斯在乌克兰冲突中的制裁。巴伊拉克塔尔(Bayraktar)表示:“如果西门子旨在对俄罗斯实施制裁,那么土耳其也会因此受到严重影响。”他还表示,安卡拉已经在“最高层级”就此问题提出了投诉,并坚称德国公司应为其行为“付出代价”。

Türkiye, which opposes European and US sanctions on Russia imposed by Western countries over the Ukraine conflict, maintains close ties with both Moscow and Kiev.
Bayraktar mentioned that Rosatom has secured alternative equipment from Chinese manufacturers to mitigate the impact on the project’s schedule.
A Siemens spokesperson confirmed in September that some parts were not delivered to Türkiye due to German export regulations.

土耳其反对西方国家因乌克兰冲突对俄罗斯实施的欧洲和美国制裁,并与莫斯科和基辅保持密切关系。巴伊拉克塔尔提到,罗萨托姆已从中国制造商处获得了替代设备,以减轻对项目进度的影响。西门子的一位发言人于9月确认,由于德国出口法规的限制,部分设备未能交付给土耳其。

Despite these challenges, Likhachev emphasized that construction is proceeding as planned. He noted that similar projects in Bangladesh and Egypt are progressing on schedule.

尽管面临这些挑战,利哈乔夫强调,建设仍在按计划进行。他指出,孟加拉国和埃及的类似项目正在按计划进行。
