On July 22, 2026, CHP deputies lodged formal objections to an amendment added in the Plan and Budget Commission that would introduce incentives and tax exemptions for nuclear power investments; CHP said the change was rushed into the omnibus bill.
Plan and Budget Commission amendment
CHP deputies said the provision was attached at the final stage of committee work and criticized the lack of debate and economic assessment. The party registered dissenting opinions in the commission record, arguing the move short-circuits parliamentary scrutiny and limits opportunity for cost, financing and environmental questions to be aired.
Committee documents summarized the measure as incentives and tax breaks for nuclear plant investors; officials in the commission confirmed the text was tabled late in the session. Energy sector participants and legal analysts told lawmakers the incentives could alter project economics but said detailed fiscal costs were not yet published.
Parliamentary leaders are expected to schedule the omnibus bill for plenary consideration by July 24, 2026. Observers said the timing will determine whether the amendment is debated further or enacted with minimal change.
