Dutch State to Buy 70 Percent of Borssele Nuclear Power Plant Shares from Zeeland Authorities

AD23 September · 15:0615 hours ago

The Dutch government is purchasing a 70 percent stake in EPZ, the operator of the Borssele nuclear power plant, from Zeeland provincial and municipal authorities for 115.7 million euros. This acquisition aims to keep the facility operational until 2054, provided safety standards are met and regulatory approvals are secured. The German energy company RWE retains its existing 30 percent share. The transfer requires final approval from parliament and local governments, who previously indicated they would not wish to remain shareholders if the plant’s lifespan were extended.
