Belgium asked Engie SA to extend the life of its Tihange 2 nuclear plant to ensure energy supplies and help offset rising prices this winter.
“The government has asked the nuclear operator to prolong the functioning of Tihange 2 until the winter peak has passed,” Prime Minister Alexander De Croo told reporters in Brussels on Friday.
