Energy Outlook

Company outlook: electrification is key

In this section, we share our vision of the future of the energy industry and how our company is positioned to lead the transition to a more sustainable, efficient and resilient model.

Electrification, a solution to today's challenges

25 years leading electrification

Iberdrola has spent a quarter of a century committed to a model in which electricity, especially that generated from renewable sources, is accessible to the greatest possible number of people and industries. 

Over this period, we have achieved sustained growth thanks to our financial strength, an innovative approach and active listening to the market, which has enabled us to invest in and develop business lines with significant potential. 

Thanks to these principles, we have multiplied our market capitalisation twelvefold, reaching €135 billion at the end of 2025. Our Regulated Asset Base is 10 times higher, increasing from €5 billion to €51 billion over this period. The Group’s installed capacity now stands at 58,000 MW

Electrification, a solution to today’s challenges

The electrification of the energy market is an unstoppable global trend. At Iberdrola, we believe that driving this process is one of the structural solutions to current challenges due to its potential to guarantee strategic independence, industrial competitiveness and environmental sustainability, etc.

We have been leading the transformation to an electricity-based model for decades, with investments in smart grids, renewables and storage. Thus, in order to reinforce our commitment to creating a sustainable and secure energy future, we will allocate €58 billion in our 2025-2028 Strategic Plan for the development of electricity networks, focusing on the United Kingdom and the United States as key markets.

Electrification is unstoppable

Capturing all the opportunities of electrification

The virtuous circle of Electrification

Lack of infrastructure

  • 1 Latent Demand
  • More Networks
  • 2 + Demand from current vectors
  • 4 New demand from electrification
  • More Power& Storage
  • More Networks
  • 3 + Demand from Data/AI

Today, electricity is only 20% of total world energy demand

    • Heating & cooling
    • Transport
    • Industry
    • Tech. choices: self sufficiency, competitiveness, sustainability
    • Focus on US/UK/EU
    • Tech companies, already IBE’s main customers

Since 2001, Iberdrola has invested more than €175 billion in electricity grids, renewable energy and energy storage to help create an energy model based on electrification. The company has nearly 1.4 million km of electricity networks in the United States (the states of New York, Connecticut, Maine and Massachusetts), the United Kingdom (Scotland, England and Wales), Brazil (the states of Bahia, Rio Grande do Norte, Pernambuco, São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul, as well as Brasília) and Spain, as well as 58,000 MW of capacity worldwide, of which more than 46,000 MW is renewable.
