South Boston Energy, LLC v. Hartford Steam Boiler Speciality Insurance Company Doc. 93 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA Alexandria Division SOUTH BOSTON ENERGY LLC,D/B/A NOVEC ENERGY PRODUCTION HALIFAX COUNTY BIOMASS, Case No. I;18-cv-596 Plaintiff, V. HARTFORD STEAM BOILER SPECIALTY INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendant. MEMORANDUM OPINION This matter comes before the Court on Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment, Dkt. 90, and Plaintiffs Motion for Attorney's Fees and Costs. Dkt. 78. For the following reasons Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment is denied. Plaintiffs Motion for Attorney's Fees and Costs is granted. I. Background This case, which involves a dispute between a Virginia power plant and its insurer, begins in Poland. There, during the manufacture of a 50MW Alstom Steam Turbine Generator (the "turbine"), a foreign metal object somehow made its way into the turbine and evaded detection. The turbine was then shipped to the United States - with the foreign metal object onboard as a stowaway - where it became the centerpiece of Plaintiff NOVEC's biomass power plant in South Boston, Virginia. NOVEC then operated the turbine for approximately two-and-ahalf years without any known issues. Dockets.Justia.com
