""This government chooses safe, affordable, and sustainable energy," De Wever said of the plan. "With less dependence on fossil imports and more control over our own supply.""
"The agreement would suspend the planned dismantling of the remaining facilities. The nationalization plan comes after Belgium scrapped a two-decade old nuclear phase-out plans last year."
Belgium is reversing its nuclear phase-out policy by acquiring Electrabel's nuclear operations to enhance energy independence. The government aims to reduce fossil fuel reliance and manage energy supplies more autonomously. The agreement includes all seven reactors managed by ENGIE, with plans to suspend dismantling of non-operational facilities. This decision follows a surge in energy prices due to geopolitical tensions. The share of electricity from nuclear has decreased from 60% to 40% since the early 2000s, prompting the government to extend the lives of older reactors.
