Norilsk-Taimyr Energy Company, a Nornickel subsidiary, has made 146.2-billion roubles' (about $2-billion) worth of payments for damage caused to the environment as a result of a May 2020 diesel spill at Norilsk's combined heat and power plant.

Nornickel has provided the funds for its subsidiary's payment.

The bulk of the payment, 145.49-billion roubles, was compensation for damage to local bodies of water and was paid into the federal budget.

Compensation for damage to soil amounted to 684.90-million roubles, paid to Norilsk's municipal government.

The payment was made in accordance with a February 12, 2021 judgement by Krasnoyarsk's Arbitration Court.
