The Belgian government signed on Thursday a Letter of Intent to acquire Electrabel’s (ENGIE) entire nuclear operations in the country. Such a move would reverse the phase-out of nuclear energy legislation adopted in the early 2000s amid safety concerns. Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever stated that the country is aiming to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and gain greater autonomy in managing its own energy supplies.
Not sure about this move though, as most of these plants are end of life. They are all 40-50 years old. I guess owning the land and the permits could save some lead time, but it’s not a small endeavor to get them running again.
