The creation of GHESA in 1963 was an initiative of electric utilities in Spain in collaboration with the American engineering company Gibbs & Hill, Inc. (NY) which took on the role of technological partner up until its share was sold to its Spanish partners in 1992. In 1971, coinciding with the launch of the second phase of the Nuclear Programme in Spain, GHESA founded Empresarios Agrupados (EA) in collaboration with other Spanish engineering firms, in order to concentrate capabilities and resources for developing the design of nuclear power plants and other types of large-scale thermo-electric power generation projects. At present GHESA, with more than 600 employees, and Empresarios Agrupados, with global resources of roughly 1000 people, make up one of Europe s most important engineering groups, with technological and management capacities for developing a wide range of complex projects whether on a national or international scale. 1
