Cabinet will further investigate the use of nuclear energy

“To achieve our climate goals, we will have to pull out all the stops, including nuclear energy if it is profitable and safe,” said State Secretary Dilan Yesilgöz-Zegerius (Economic Affairs and Climate). At the request of the House of Representatives, she already commissioned research into what is needed to entice companies to build a new nuclear power plant.


According to the KPMG report, a stable government policy is an important precondition for the realization of a new nuclear power plant. The government should also contribute to the financing. Furthermore, according to the market parties, it is important to opt for proven technology and there must be sufficient social support.

Majority Chamber

KPMG’s work also shows that the province of Zeeland is positive about the construction of a new nuclear power plant and that it is negotiable for Noord-Brabant under certain conditions. It takes more than ten years to build a nuclear power plant.

A majority of the House of Representatives is not against nuclear energy.
