Belgium plans to nationalise nuclear power plants from Engie
Belgium's government announced plans to buy its nuclear reactors from French energy company Engie to secure energy supplies and reverse a 2000s-era phase-out policy. Prime Minister Bart De Wever said the deal would involve a full takeover of Belgium's seven reactors, with two currently operational and five shut down since 2022-2025. The government and Engie aim to reach an agreement by October 1 and plan to extend operations and develop new nuclear capacity.
