Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:05:49 GMT

BRUSSELS — Belgian police found cash in the home of Ugo Lemaire, the son of European parliamentarian Maria Arena, as first reported by Le Soir and confirmed by the Belgian prosecutor’s office.Arena, though implicated in the corruption scandal now known as Qatargate through July raids of her and her family’s homes, remains uncharged. But recent revelations show investigators in charge of the Qatargate case discovered large amounts of cash during the search of her son’s home in July. It was Arena who allegedly opened the door to her son’s apartment, next door to her own, where police officers recovered €280,000 in cash, according to Le Soir. To date, no connection has been established between the cash and any corruption activities related to a foreign country.Asked to comment on the raid and on the amount of money seized, the Belgian prosecutor’s office declined to give further information — but said it “deplored any leak of information in this case.”Belgia...

Second Wind Developer Moves to Terminate Its Contracts

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:05:49 GMT

Another offshore wind developer took a major step Tuesday toward scrapping its initial plans for an installation in waters off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard. SouthCoast Wind, whose pair of successful bids represented a combined 1,200 megawatts of anticipated offshore wind power, agreed to pay utility companies $60 million to terminate contracts the parties previously struck for the clean energy. The penalty would be divided into $32.4 million for Eversource, $27.3 million for National Grid and $591,000 for Unitil, according to contract amendments filed with the Department of Public Utilities. The utility companies would then credit the payments to their ratepayers through contract adjustments. The move makes official the developer’s attempt to cancel existing contracts after months of warning that the project was no longer financially viable under the negotiated prices as a result of economic trends. Like Commonwealth Wind, another developer whose termination agreement ...
