Background
The power station was built in Crimea, a Ukrainian territory occupied by the Russian Federation.[10]
The construction of Balaklava and Tavri power stations became the subject of an international scandal involving Siemens. In 2015, a subsidiary of Rostec, Technopromexport JSC, bought 4 gas turbines from Siemens for a power plant project on the Taman Peninsula. However, later the company resold them to another subsidiary of Rostec, Technopromexport LLC, which was engaged in the construction of power plants in Crimea.[11]
In the summer of 2017, Siemens called this a violation of the terms of the contract. The company challenged the contracts for the supply of turbines in the Moscow Arbitration Court, but the claim was dismissed.[11]
European Union and the United States imposed sanctions on two officials of the Ministry of Energy, presumed responsible for the transfer of turbines to the Crimean power stations.[11]
As of November 2022, the power station has been targeted twice during the war but remains largely unscathed and operational.[12]
