Overview
- Iberdrola, Endesa and Naturgy filed the request after CNAT’s shareholders approved pursuing an extension of Almaraz’s operating licence.
- Miteco confirmed receipt and will send the file to the Consejo de Seguridad Nuclear for the mandatory radiological‑safety opinion.
- To meet legal deadlines, the owners are also submitting closure paperwork, so the CSN will work on both an extension case and a shutdown dossier in parallel.
- The companies have shelved a prior demand for sweeping tax cuts to smooth approval, while the Government maintains conditions on safety, security of supply and zero added cost.
- Extremadura’s president pressed for approval of the extension, as Minister Sara Aagesen withheld a stance pending the CSN’s review and emphasized the regulated process.
