Naturgy Energy Group SA (NTGY.MC) said Monday that its half-owned Union Fenosa Gas joint venture has received an award from the International Center for Settlement of International Disputes in regard to a dispute in Egypt.

Union Fenosa initiated a claim in 2014 over a lack of gas supply to the liquefaction facilities of its Damietta plant.

The ICSID has decided on an award of $2.01 billion after taxes and before interest, saying Egypt failed to grant Union Fenosa fair and equitable treatment, according to a Naturgy statement.

"Naturgy is confident that the issuance of this award will allow it to reach a comprehensive agreement that will re-establish the value of this investment through a commercial agreement, resuming the gas supplies to the plant," the Spanish energy group said.

Eni SpA (ENI.MI) owns the other 50% of Union Fenosa.
