An energy mix including nuclear

The now Minister of Energy then discussed one of the fundamental files associated with its function, namely nuclear. “It will not be only nuclear, there is also renewable, we want an energy mix that rests on two legs,” he started. “Then, we want to validate the deal with Engie for the extension of the two reactors, but also extend other capacities,” he said. “We also want to work on the creation of new capacities. Nuclear allows abundant and low carbon energy. Today, we want an energy transition: that people and businesses leave carbon energies such as gas, fuel oil and Fioul and go to electricity consumption.

Towards an amendment to the 2003 law?

Concretely, Mathieu Bihet then mentioned the possibility of a rapid amendment – more precisely in the coming weeks – of the 2003 law on the release of nuclear. It would then be a question of removing the passages on the output calendar as well as on the prohibition to produce energy based on atoms, which would make it possible to “develop new capacities”, ie large reactors or small modular reactors (SMR).

Scheduled for February 14, Doel 1’s judgment has never been so uncertain, while the new federal government wishes to extend existing reactors. “There is no reason to consider that an old reactor must be deactivated for its only seniority. What is needed is that it is always in accordance with safety standards and that is what We are going to get down, “promises Mathieu Bihet, who claims to wish to speak with Engie and AFCN on this subject.
