ROVIGO, Italy, Sept 20 (Reuters) - The Italian government will present a new national energy policy, including a relaunch of nuclear energy, next spring as it tries to diversify energy supplies, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said on Saturday.
Italy, which rejected nuclear power in a 1987 referendum in the wake of the Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine, depends on oil and gas imports to cover about 80 percent of its energy needs.
'A new national energy plan will be presented in spring, which will be based on three points: diversification of supplies, the start of nuclear energy production and development of renewable and alternative energy,' Berlusconi said at the opening ceremony of a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal.
The off-shore terminal in the Adriatic Sea near Rovigo in northern Italy with a capacity of 8 billion cubic metres will start up in the first half of 2009 and will be capable of supplying about 10 percent of Italy's gas needs.
The Rovigo terminal is only the second LNG plant built in the country
