A neutral comparison of Belgian parties' positions on nuclear power in 2026: repeal of the phase-out law, extension of Doel 4 and Tihange 3, the 8 GW target, the state buy-out of Engie's fleet. Who voted what, pros and cons, public sources.
A neutral comparison of the 10 main Belgian parties' positions on climate and energy in 2026: nuclear, renewables, 2030 targets, funding the transition. Pros and cons, public sources.
Belgium targets carbon neutrality by 2050 and an emissions cut of about 47% by 2030 (outside the ETS market) versus 2005, in line with the European Green Deal. Nuclear power shapes the debate: Doel 4 and Tihange 3 were extended to 2035-2036, while the phase-out law was repealed. The transition's cost (renovation, renewables, grids) divides two poles: a cautious approach mindful of bills and industry, and a very ambitious one betting on rapid decarbonisation.
