PRESENTATION
The owner companies of Almaraz and Trillo Nuclear Power Plants formed an Economic Interest Grouping in November 1999, called Centrales Nucleares Almaraz-Trillo, A.I.E., for the integrated operation, management and administration of both plants, and their shares in the assets of each remained unchanged. Accordingly, the shares of the owner companies in the installed capacity at both plants, is as follows:
The structure of A.I.E. Centrales Nucleares Almaraz-Trillo is based on the development of a single organisation, with clearly defined unitary control, and the unambiguous assignment of functions and responsibilities.
The organisation’s governing body is the General Meeting of Members, which brings together the owner companies, and the Management Board, and contains representatives of both.
The mission of Almaraz-Trillo Nuclear Power Plants is to produce electricity in a manner which is safe, economic, respectful to the environment and guaranteeing long-term production by optimum operation of the Almaraz and Trillo plants. Our vision is to position the Almaraz and Trillo nuclear power plants amongst the best in terms of safety, quality and costs.
The mission and vision is complemented by a set of shared values that must at all times guide the way people act in the organisation and how they can contribute to achieving the mission. These values are the cornerstone of social responsibility at CNAT and are based on ethical principles, respect for people, professionalism and attention to safety and the enviroment.
Different corporate policies are adopted aimed at fulfilling the mission, and they determine the work patterns throughout the whole organisation so that it can be achieved in a socially responsible manner.
A particularly important milestone in 2014, was renewal of the operating license of Trillo I, for a period of ten years from 17 November 2014, which the Ministry of Industry and Tourism - after a favourable report from the Nuclear Safety Council (NSC) - granted the Economic Interest Grouping Almaraz-Trillo Nuclear Power Plants (CNAT) as owner of the facility.
The excellent performance and the high level of availability of Almaraz and Trillo have been outstanding features of their operation during 2014, a year in which the joint production of both plants reached 24.103 million kilowatt hours, representing 42.1% of the electricity produced by Spanish nuclear power plants and 9% of the total net generation of the national electricity system.
Also noteworthy are the results obtained in the risk prevention, and the Almaraz plant was refuelled with zero accidents, thanks to the actions taken and the various measures implemented.
The good results achieved are the fruits of a programme of ongoing technological upgrading, which has safety as the main cornerstone of plant operations, alongside the fulfilment of commitments made to the regulatory body as part of the stress tests conducted in the European Union, and the direction taken by the organisation as set out in the 2014 Action Plan. This has resulted in a significant degree of progress and a positive overall rating since its launch in January, and has become the focus of CNAT planning activities.
