Following such decision, Tanesco had no option but to honour its payments obligations under the Agreement since what was contractually significant to it at that juncture was for IPTL to construct the power plant and make it available for 20 years and is charging tariffs based on reasonable project costs.
Kutokana na IPTL kukiuka makubaliano ya Mkataba kama ilivyoelezwa hapo juu, mwaka 1998 TANESCO ilifungua Shauri Na. ARB/98/8 katika Baraza la Kimataifa la Usuluhishi wa Migogoro ya Uwekezaji (The International Centre for Settlement of Investiment Disputes – ICSID) kupinga ukiukwaji huo.
