Westinghouse Electric Company  (0.71 MB)

Company Announcement - Westinghouse Electric Company today announced that it has filed an application to the High Court of South Africa (Gauteng Local Division) in Johannesburg, charging Eskom with contempt of court due to the utility’s failure to supply documentation as ordered by the court to be delivered to Westinghouse within five calendar days of September 5, 2014. This application for contempt of court follows several unsuccessful attempts by Westinghouse legal representatives to obtain important files relating to the tender selection process and decision-making.  Westinghouse will continue to exercise all of its legal rights to ensure the actions and decisions of the Eskom management during the tender process are transparent.

Westinghouse believes that if the timeline for the legal review process, as set down by the court, is adhered to by all parties there should be no delay with the replacement of the six steam generators in 2018 at the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station in the Western Cape.

Westinghouse Electric Company, a group company of Toshiba Corporation (TKY:6502), is the world's pioneering nuclear energy company and is a leading supplier of nuclear plant products and technologies to utilities throughout the world. Westinghouse supplied the world's first pressurized water reactor in 1957 in Shippingport, Pa., U.S.  Today, Westinghouse technology is the basis for approximately one-half of the world's operating nuclear plants, including more than 50 percent of those in Europe.
