Article summary

Uniper has announced that it will seek a judgment on the legitimacy of the Dutch Coal Prohibition Act’s compensation provisions. The Dutch Coal Prohibition Act bans the production of electricity from coal fired power plants from 1 January 2030. Uniper opened a coal fired power station at Maasvlakte in 2016. It contends that the forced closure after 15 years of operation without compensation is an infringement of its ownership rights.
