Belgi\u00eb heeft opnieuw de deadline gemist in de onderhandelingen met energiegigant Engie over de mogelijke overname van de zeven kerncentrales in Belgi\u00eb.<\/p>\n

Beide partijen zijn overeengekomen om zichzelf meer tijd te gunnen. Dit is al de tweede keer dat de deadline is uitgesteld. De deadline voor de onderhandelingen is nu verschoven naar 12 december.<\/p>\n

De regering-De Wever heeft duidelijk aangegeven dat zij van plan is de reactoren die nog in bedrijf kunnen blijven, langer in bedrijf te houden en te investeren in de herstructurering van de Belgische nucleaire sector.<\/p>\n

De premier houdt ook de mogelijkheid open om de elektriciteitscentrales over te nemen \u2013 indien nodig via gedwongen nationalisatie \u2013 en zelf een compensatieprijs vast te stellen, mocht Engie een hard of onredelijk standpunt innemen.<\/p>\n

Ondertussen waarschuwen milieu-economen dat het langer in bedrijf houden van de kerncentrales hoge kosten met zich mee zal brengen.<\/p>\n

Regeringscrisis<\/h4>\n

Aangezien de premier zijn ontslag heeft ingediend bij de koning \u2013 die dit momenteel in overweging neemt en vrijdag een besluit zal bekendmaken \u2013 komen verschillende eerder vastgestelde deadlines voor bepaalde regeringskwesties nu in het gedrang, zoals die met betrekking tot de overname van de kerncentrales in Belgi\u00eb die worden ge\u00ebxploiteerd door het Franse energiebedrijf Engie.<\/p>\n

Het feit dat beide partijen zichzelf nu een extra maand de tijd gunnen, geeft natuurlijk aan hoe complex deze onderhandelingen zijn, maar ook dat ze in feite in een impasse zijn geraakt \u2013 waarom zou De Wever anders zijn toevlucht nemen tot zo\u2019n extreme drukmaatregel als nationalisatie? Hoewel dat in een gezamenlijk persbericht heel anders klinkt.<\/p>\n

\u201cDe diepgaande besprekingen die de afgelopen maanden tussen Engie en de Belgische regering hebben plaatsgevonden, hebben inderdaad geleid tot vooruitgang en een beter wederzijds begrip van de belangen die op het spel staan\u201d, aldus de betrokken partijen.<\/p>\n

\u201cEr blijven echter aanzienlijke meningsverschillen bestaan, onder meer over de waardering van de transactie, en de partijen willen de nodige tijd nemen om te proberen hun standpunten dichter bij elkaar te brengen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Geen haast voor Engie<\/h4>\n

De regering voert onderhandelingen met Engie over de prijs van alle nucleaire activiteiten die door Engie en haar dochteronderneming Electrabel worden uitgevoerd, waaronder alle zeven kerncentrales, de expertise (d.w.z. het personeel) en de voorwaarden \u2013 waaronder de vraag wie de miljarden aan kosten zal dragen die gepaard gaan met de ontmanteling en het nucleaire afval.<\/p>\n

Het feit dat Engie zijn kerncentrales wil afstoten en al was begonnen met de ontmanteling van de oudste kernreactoren, betekent ook dat het Franse bedrijf weinig te verliezen heeft als er geen akkoord wordt bereikt.<\/p>\n

Op verzoek van de regering zijn de ontmantelingswerkzaamheden stilgelegd, en de staat vergoedt Engie de kosten die tijdens de onderhandelingsperiode al zijn gemaakt. Hoe langer het duurt, hoe langer deze situatie zal voortduren.<\/p>\n

Met andere woorden: Engie heeft geen haast, en het is inmiddels algemeen bekend dat het bedrijf een harde onderhandelingslijn hanteert \u2013 de onderhandelingen over de twee resterende kerncentrales, Doel 4 en Tihange 3, die al enkele weken weer stroom opwekken, verliepen eveneens zeer moeizaam.<\/p>\n

Gebrek aan flexibiliteit bij kerncentrales<\/h4>\n

Hoewel Elia, de beheerder van het hoogspanningsnet, verklaart dat de continu\u00efteit van de elektriciteitsvoorziening voor het leveringsjaar 2027-2028 volledig gewaarborgd is, betekent dit niet dat kerncentrales overbodig zijn.<\/p>\n

De overeenkomsten inzake Doel 4 en Tihange 3 lopen in 2035 af, en om onafhankelijkheid van gassubsidies en -importen \u2013 alsook prijsstabiliteit \u2013 te waarborgen, wil de regering-De Wever de kerncentrales onder eigen beheer brengen, ze langer in bedrijf houden en bovendien investeren in kleine modulaire reactoren (SMR\u2019s).<\/p>\n

Verschillende milieu-economen waarschuwen echter al geruime tijd voor een volledige overname van de Belgische kerncentrales \u2013 en niet alleen vanwege de aanzienlijke kosten die daarmee gepaard gaan.<\/p>\n

Professor Johan Albrecht (UGent) wees er bijvoorbeeld in de krant De Standaard op dat er veel aanvragen voor batterijboerderijen zijn en dat de vergunningsprocedure daardoor lang kan duren.<\/p>\n

Bovendien is een flexibele stroomvoorziening nodig om gemakkelijk te kunnen inspelen op een plotselinge piek in de vraag naar elektriciteit, en de huidige kerncentrales zijn niet flexibel. Volgens hem zou het ook beter zijn om Engie ervan te overtuigen een verdere verlenging van de levensduur van de twee nieuwste reactoren, Doel 4 en Tihange 3, te steunen.<\/p>\n

Geen nucleaire boom<\/h4>\n

Het World Nuclear Industry Status Report (WNISR) wijst er ook op dat het aandeel van kernenergie in de wereldwijde elektriciteitsproductie inmiddels is gedaald tot 9%. Volgens het rapport uit 2025 zijn er geen aanwijzingen voor een sterke wereldwijde bouwboom, juist omdat de bouw van nieuwe kerncentrales duur en tijdrovend is, terwijl zonne-energie, windenergie en batterijopslag sneller en kosteneffectiever groeien.<\/p>\n

Als het aantal kerncentrales blijft toenemen, zouden de uraniumreserves tegen de jaren 2080 ook uitgeput kunnen raken.<\/p>\n

Het Internationaal Energieagentschap in Parijs beschrijft kernenergie daarentegen als een belangrijk onderdeel van de energietransitie, maar niet als het belangrijkste onderdeel.<\/p>\n

In \u201cElectricity 2026\u201d meldt het IEA dat kernenergie in 2025 een recordhoogte van 2.850 TWh bereikte en tegen 2030 zou kunnen groeien tot 3.279 TWh. Samen met hernieuwbare energie zal kernenergie naar verwachting in 2030 ongeveer de helft van alle elektriciteit leveren, tegenover 42% vandaag.<\/p>\n

Degenen die sceptischer staan tegenover kernenergie vinden dat het IEA te optimistisch is, juist omdat het agentschap het potentieel van kernenergie overschat en de rol van hernieuwbare energie onderschat. Wat echter opvalt, is dat in 2025, zonne-energie<\/a> heeft voor het eerst meer elektriciteit opgewekt dan kernenergie.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
