Organisational Chart of Institutional Control
Explanatory text of the control organizational chart
As a public company responsible for an essential public service, Enresa is subject to oversight by Parliament and the Government through different bodies. Oversight of Enresa is exercised, on the one hand, by the Nuclear Safety Council, which, by designation of Parliament, is the Spanish regulatory body for nuclear safety and radiological protection.
For its part, the Government’s oversight of Enresa is carried out through the supervising ministry, the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, which establishes the waste management policy to be followed in relation to radioactive waste through the Secretariat of State for Energy and the Secretariat of State for the Environment. In this way, both the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge and the Nuclear Safety Council assume regulatory and licensing responsibilities.
In turn, the Ministries of Finance and of Science and Innovation participate in decision-making regarding the company’s operations through Enresa’s shareholders: the State Industrial Holding Company (SEPI), which holds a 20% stake in Enresa, and the Centre for Energy, Environmental and Technological Research (CIEMAT), which holds an 80% stake in Enresa.
