국정감서 송금 사실 첫 확인…"텍사스 발전소 상업성 충족"

알래스카 사업엔 "상업장려성 따져봐야…제고 방향으로 검토"

(세종=연합뉴스) 이대희 송정은 기자 = 이형일 부총리 겸 재정경제부 장관이 첫 대미투자금으로 24억달러를 이달 1일 미국으로 송금했다고 확인했다.

이 부총리는 6일 국회 재정경제기획위원회 국정감사에서 국민의힘 임이자 의원이 '9월 30일과 10월 1일 각각 팩트시트를 한미가 공동발표하고 나서 10월 1일 24억달러가 (미국으로) 송금됐느냐'라고 묻자 "네"라고 답했다.

한미는 지난 1일 첫 사업으로 텍사스주 엔시날 지역에 6.472기가와트(GW) 용량의 인공지능(AI) 데이터센터용 가스복합화력발전소를 건설·운영하는 '프로젝트 스타'를 확정했다.

총사업비 약 223억달러의 10% 남짓 자금이 합의 직후 송금된 것으로, 정부가 이 사실을 공식 확인한 것은 이날 이 부총리의 발언이 처음이다.

임 의원은 "상업성이 있다고 판단한다면 사전 보고지만, 상업성이 없다면 국회 동의를 얻어야 하는데 이런 논의도 전혀 없었다"고 지적했다.

그러자 이 부총리는 "국회 보고 절차를 다 거친 다음에 팩트시트에 담았다"고 강조했다. 그는 텍사스 발전소 사업의 상업적 합리성에 관해 "충족됐다고 본다"고 설명했다.

이 부총리는 임 의원이 '프로젝트 노스'(알래스카 LNG 개발)의 경우 540억달러 규모를 두고 한미가 서로 엇갈리는 메시지를 내고 있다'고 지적하자 "저희는 팩트시트에 있는 내용대로 이야기하고 있다"고 반박했다.

이 부총리는 "(프로젝트 노스는) 검토를 시작하는 단계로, 상업장려성도 다 저희가 따져봐야 한다"며 "상업장려성이 제고되는 방향으로 계속 검토해 나갈 계획"이라고 강조했다.

Open Questions

  • 프로젝트 노스의 구체적 상업장려성 검토 결과는 언제 나오는가?
