Abstract

The article focuses on Engie SA’s negotiations to sell its Belgian nuclear operations to the Belgian state as the French utility shifts its focus toward renewables and energy networks. The potential deal involves seven reactors, including two operational ones, along with decommissioning responsibilities, with the Belgian government aiming to maintain nuclear power amid growing energy demand. Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever emphasized that the state would assume full control of the nuclear plants if the agreement is finalized, suspending decommissioning activities in the meantime. The move reflects broader European debates on nuclear energy’s role, influenced by recent geopolitical events affecting energy security. [Extracted from the article]
