The UK Surpeme Court has withdrawn a ruling that cleared MT Hojgaard of responsibility for historic “grout issues” at Eon’s 174MW Robin Rigg offshore wind farm in the Solway Firth between England and Scotland.
The Danish company said the “quite unusual” move means the appeal filed by developer Eon will receive “further evaluation” and could potentially result in a reversal of the decision.
“The purpose and the effect of this expected withdrawal by the Supreme Court is not known at this time,” said MT Hojgaard.
“Should this imply the dispute is not finally settled, it will cause the group to re-establish a provision and adjust its guidance for special items to Dkr0 against the present guidance of an income of Dkr195m,” it added.
The Supreme Court ruled on 5 November that MT Hojgaard was not liable for costs related to the grouting issue at Robin Rigg.
