The federal government found an agreement on Thursday morning to phase out nuclear power, we learned from a government source after a night of discussion. Scenario A, ie the end of current nuclear reactors in 2025, is “reinforced” but 100 million euros will be invested in new nuclear technology.
“An agreement has been reached in which security is central, as provided for in the government agreement. Plan A is reinforced, with a clear procedure in order to be able to continue to implement the Capacity Remuneration Mechanism (CRM) seen the uncertainty that may reign over the Vilvoorde gas-fired power plant project (one of the two new production units selected following the first CRM auctions but for which the Flemish Minister of the Environment refused the permit, editor’s note). Belgium will also invest and embark on research into the nuclear energy of the future, including the technology of SMR plants for which an amount of 100 million euros is planned. A new energy law is planned for this purpose, the objective of which remains neutrality in 2050 “, we said.
A government press conference is scheduled on this subject Thursday morning at 11:00 a.m.
