Tessenderlo Denied Power Station Permit

Tessenderlo Group, Brussels, reported on Oct. 15 that it has been informed of the decision by the Flemish Minister of Justice and Enforcement, Environment, Energy, and Tourism not to grant a permit for the construction of a second gas-fired power station of 900 MW in Tessenderlo (Belgium).

If successful, the new power plant, which involves the investment of €500 million, would have been operational by Nov. 1, 2025 (GM Sept. 3, p. 29). The company said it would carefully review this decision before deciding on any further steps.
