International Violations

Enron's activities with their Dabhol Power project in India has been documented by Human Rights Watch as violating the human rights of locals protesting the project, the largest power plant in the world. "The Dabhol Power Corporation and it's parent company, Enron, are complicit in these human rights violations.

The World Bank is objecting to the terms of a power purchase agreement between Enron and the state of Lagos (Nigeria) in December of 1999. The terms are too favorable to Enron: they acquired a long-term right to sell power to Lagos without competitive bidding; can charge a high price for the fuel used by its power plant; cannot be penalized for the poor performance of its plants; does not fully bear the completion risks for the plants under its control; benefits from generous arrangements for payment security; and would receive excessive contract termination payments.
