The José María de Oriol power plant, with more than 50 years of history, is a hydroelectric facility located in the municipality of Alcántara, in Cáceres. With a total installed capacity of over 900 MW, the plant is one of the cornerstones of Iberdrola's renewable energy production in Extremadura, in southwest Spain.

As a result of the STAR Project (Remote Network Management and Automation System), with an investment of €2 billion, more than 11.4 million intelligent meters have been installed and provide remote management and automation capabilities to more than 90,000 transformation centres.

Iberdrola has begun the procedures for the development of the second of its wind projects in Cantabria, the new El Escudo wind farm. This infrastructure, once operational, will generate enough clean energy to supply a population equivalent to 95,350 homes and will prevent the emission into the atmosphere of 45,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.

Iberdrola has commissioned the El Puntal II wind farm, located in the municipality of Sierra de las Yeguas, in Málaga. This facility has the most powerful and largest wind turbines in Spain and, with its 15 MW, will prevent the emission of 6,000 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere and will supply clean energy to around 12,500 homes.

Iberdrola has installed one of its photovoltaic projects in Castilla y León (Spain), a new wind farm and photovoltaic plant in Villarino, which adds 50 MW of green energy to its portfolio. Once the infrastructure is up and running, it generates enough clean energy to power the equivalent of 27,000 homes and avoid emitting 12,000 tons of CO₂/year into the atmosphere.

As part of our commitment to renewable energies in Spain, we have commissioned two photovoltaic plants in Cedillo, Extremadura, with a combined installed capacity of 100 MW, plus a new 375 MW plant currently under construction. These facilities are designed to have the lowest possible environmental impact.
