Belgium plans to nationalise nuclear power plants

"This government is choosing safe, affordable and sustainable energy, with less dependence on fossil fuel imports and more control over our own supply," De Wever posted on X.

"By doing so, the Belgian Government is taking responsibility for Belgium's long-term energy future, with the objective of building a financially and economically viable activity that supports security of supply, climate objectives, industrial resilience and socio-economic prosperity," the statement adds.
