Far East Utility Curtails Power to Angara Site at Vostochny Over 51 Million-Ruble Debt

Citing broken payment pledges, DEK prepares a bankruptcy petition against PSO Kazan.

Overview

  • DEK said it limited electricity to facilities used by PSO Kazan at the Angara launch complex construction zone.
  • The utility reports arrears exceeding 51 million rubles for consumed power by the general contractor.
  • The spaceport’s director says Vostochny is operating normally, with strategic areas unaffected by the restrictions.
  • PSO Kazan previously promised payments in March and again by October 20 but did not pay, and its sites consume about 4 million rubles in power monthly.
  • Accounts differ on the scope of the action, with one report describing a full shutoff and another citing partial limits.
