What happened
An International Chamber of Commerce tribunal in Paris issued a final award regarding the Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Project on September 16. The ruling rejected the claim for damages of $2.35 billion brought by Sunrise Power and Transmission Company Limited against Nigeria. The ICC ordered Sunrise to reimburse Nigeria $11.82 million in legal fees and $414,125 in arbitration costs.
Why it matters
The ruling marked a successful defense of Nigeria's interests in the international arbitration. The case originated from a 2003 agreement concerning the construction of a 3,050MW hydropower plant.
