According to him, it is necessary to fairly clarify the volume of the spilled fuel.
“Clarify how much fuel was lost and count fines from it.
And the coefficient of maximum punishment seems to us unfair, because the company has made effective and timely efforts to eliminate the consequences, and this must be taken into account, "Potanin said in an interview with the Russia-24 TV channel.
He stressed that Norilsk Nickel has already spent about 11.5 billion rubles on liquidating the immediate consequences of the accident at the thermal power plant in Norilsk.
Potanin also assured that the company will inspect more than 600 of its facilities.
On September 10, Rosprirodnadzor filed a lawsuit against JSC Norilsk-Taimyr Energy Company (part of the Norilsk Nickel Group) with a claim for compensation of 147.7 billion rubles.
The fuel spill at CHPP-3 in Norilsk occurred at the end of May.
The Federal Agency for Fishery has estimated the period of restoration of the aquatic ecosystem in Norilsk at 18 years.
