State-Owned Energy Enterprise

Companies that operate as commercial energy producers or utilities but are owned, wholly or in controlling part, by a national government, including Saudi Aramco as a state oil company, EDF as a state-controlled utility, and the State Grid Corporation of China as a state-owned electricity transmission and distribution company. Belongs here: an operating energy company under government ownership or control. Does not belong here: an intergovernmental organization such as OPEC, whose members are states acting collectively rather than a single state-owned company, grouped under Intergovernmental Organization; a government department that sets policy rather than runs an energy business, grouped under Government Agency.
