Investment Decision

•  By using the existing infrastructure, in
  particular the turbine generator group and
  cooling tower, the required investment will be
  under 100 million, this enabling Vilvoorde 1 to
  generate electricity at a highly
• competitive cost
• Investment 40 of new CCGT
• Low fixed costs (20)
• Increased productivity
• Higher energy yield
• obsolete units 31 to 37
• CCGT Drogenbos 52
• CCGT Vilvoorde 56
• Lower NO? (- 45) and SO? (- 50) emissions, no
  dust
• Reduced noise
