    Our innovation model

    Innovation, a strategic pillar for Iberdrola

    At Iberdrola, we are committed to an innovation model that drives the development of disruptive and sustainable technologies that in turn consolidate the energy transformation.

    Our vision in terms of innovation is to drive the development of disruptive and sustainable technologies, aligned with the key drivers of the transformation of the energy sector: decarbonising energy generation, through the massive integration of renewable energies, promoting smart grids and electrifying the demand.

    At Iberdrola, we are the world's leading private energy company in terms of investment in R&D&I (Research, Development and Innovation) according to the European Commission. After investing €384 million in 2023, we set the target of reaching €4 billion by 2030. In this way, we seek to improve our processes, the operating conditions and safety of our facilities, as well as to reduce our environmental impact.

    An innovative effort focused on five main bases

    New products and services that respond to customer needs with greater personalisation of content and offers.

    Disruptive technologies that are increasingly efficient, sustainable and eco-friendly, optimising the operation of facilities and processes, as well as products and services that are more innovative and competitive.

    Digitalisation and automation across all businesses and processes, to create value in asset lifecycle management, network optimisation and aggregation, and integrated service design for the new digital customer profile.

    Innovation with start-ups, entrepreneurs and suppliers. We are pioneers in promoting innovation with start-ups, entrepreneurs and suppliers to develop new disruptive business models, fostering the exchange of knowledge and acting as a driving force among our collaborators.

    Culture of innovation and talent through knowledge transfer, attracting talent and promoting entrepreneurship.

    Innovation management

    For executing our innovative activity, the Company has an open and decentralised R&D&I management model, with the participation of technology suppliers, universities, foundations, technology centres and industrial organisations through different programmes and subjects.

    • Decentralised, because the process is carried out independently in each business unit, supported and coordinated by the Innovation Directorate.

    • Open, because we consider ourselves a technology-driven company, and as such, it is our vocation to involve the Group's technology suppliers in our innovation process.

      The rise of photovoltaic self-consumption: an ally in the fight against climate change

      In recent years, the rise in photovoltaic self-consumption has seen solar panels becoming a common feature in urban and rural landscapes around the world. The boom in this type of self-consumption, which is also part of the fight against climate change, is the result of technological advances, a decrease in the price of the components needed for these installations, a reduction in the amount of red tape, and help at both local and national levels.

      Nanotechnology: a small solution to big problems

      Invisible particles that fight cancer cells, faster microprocessors that consume less energy, batteries that last 10 times longer or solar panels that yield twice as much energy. These are just some of the many applications of nanotechnology, a discipline with all the ingredients to turn into the next industrial revolution.
