On April 16th, the German utility Uniper announced it was filing a compensation claim against the Dutch state under the Energy Charter Treaty framework (ECT).

Both RWE as well as Uniper’s majority owner, the Finnish state utility Fortum, will hold their annual general meetings tomorrow. The companies are expected to face critical questions about their use of the paralegal arbitration framework in order to obtain exaggerated compensation for fossil assets.
