Spanish energy companies Endesa and Iberdrola have initiated legal action against the government over the nuclear waste tax known as the 'tasa Enresa.' Both companies are seeking a total of 778 million euros in compensation. Endesa specifically claims 454 million euros for damages related to the increased nuclear waste tax amid ongoing discussions about the closure of nuclear power plants. The dispute marks a judicial confrontation between the major utilities and the government regarding the financial burden imposed by nuclear waste management fees. Additionally, environmental organizations have filed an administrative appeal against the authorization of the Aznalcóllar mine.
