Le Monde: Belgium parliament votes to ditch nuclear power phase-out
Belgium parliament votes to ditch nuclear power phase-out
Belgium's parliament has officially abandoned its plan to phase out nuclear power, voting to allow the construction of new reactors. This decision comes after a two-decade commitment to shut down existing reactors by 2025 was scrapped, largely due to the energy crisis triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Energy Minister Mathieu Bihet hailed the vote as a significant step toward a resilient energy model, with nuclear currently accounting for 40% of Belgium's power generation. The new conservative-led government aims to increase nuclear's share, despite Engie's indication that it may not prioritize nuclear in its strategy.
