A SOUTH African court dismissed on Friday an application by Westinghouse Electric Company to re-open the bidding process for a generator contract awarded to French rival Areva, a court official said. Westinghouse, the world’s largest nuclear fuel producer and part of Japan’s Toshiba group, had contested Eskom’s decision to award a R4 billion contract to Areva in August, saying the process was flawed.
“The application was dismissed with costs in favour of Eskom and Areva,” the court official said on Friday. – Reuters
