The Belgian government Friday denied press reports it wanted to slap an
additional charge on French group GDF Suez SA (GSZ.FR) for extending the life
of GDF's nuclear plants in
Belgium
.
The Energy Ministry cited a draft agreement signed in October 2009 between the
government and GDF Suez calling for payment of EUR215 million to EUR245 million
for the period 2010-2015.
"Beyond that date the amount of the payment has not been decided, given
that the energy price to be applied at that time is not yet known," the
ministry said, according to the Belga news agency.
The ministry also denied the existence of any plan for "an additional
payment" between now and 2015.
The Belgian newspapers L'Eco and De Tijd Friday reported that Belgian Energy
Minister Paul Magnette had informed the European Commission in a letter that
GDF Suez could have to provide a new contribution to the Belgian government.
GDF Suez reached an agreement with
Belgium
in
late October on details of an extension of its nuclear-power operations in the
country.
