05/02/2026 - 10:56 UTC +01:00Iberdrola boosts electrification in Australia with two new storage projects in New South Wales The Iberdrola Group is making progress in its drive for electrification in Australia with two new energy storage milestones in the state of New South Wales. The company has been awarded a long-term contract from the state government for the Kingswood battery (100 MW) and has officially opened the Smithfield facility (65 MW), with the assistance of the state's Energy Minister, Penelope Sharpe. Both projects strengthen the integration of renewables, increase grid flexibility, improve availability and efficiency of supply and contribute, in general, to a more self-sufficient, secure, competitive and sustainable energy system. The Kingswood project will reach 1,080 MWh of storage. It will be able to supply energy for at least eight consecutive hours and supply some 65,000 homes at peak demand times. The New South Wales Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure recommended approval on 22 December 2025 and the project continues to be assessed by the Independent Planning Commission. This initiative has been selected for a Long-Term Energy Service Agreement ( LTESA) from the Government of New South Wales, within the sixth round of auctions, within the framework of the State Executive's Roadmap for Electric Infrastructure. In addition, Iberdrola Australia has inaugurated the Smithfield battery (130 MWh of storage) in the west of Sydney. The project has been completed ahead of schedule and also has an LTESA contract, awarded in round 2 of the same state program. It can supply 20,000 homes. Australia is a strategic market for the Iberdrola Group, which is committed to energy storage as a key element in accelerating electrification and strengthening reliability of supply and price stability. Its subsidiary Iberdrola Australia has established itself as one of the country's leading renewable energy operators, with more than 2,000 MW of generation capacity in operation or under construction, supplying clean energy to approximately 400 commercial and industrial customers. As part of its 2025-2028 strategic plan, Iberdrola foresees total investments of more than €1 billion in Australia, a country with a AAA credit rating, focused on key businesses and markets that offer stability and predictability.

03/02/2026Iberdrola commissions two new power plants in the United States Iberdrola has brought two new power plants in Wasco County, Oregon, into commercial operation through Avangrid, its U.S. subsidiary . The facilities — Daybreak Solar, with 189 MWdc, and Bakeoven Solar, with 80 MWdc — together add 269 MWdc of new locally generated capacity at a time of growing electricity demand across the country.

The programme enables large customers to secure new energy supplies in a flexible and competitive manner. Thanks to these projects and other facilities under development, Avangrid maintains its position as the programme’s leading energy supplier. The commissioning of these two power plants supports local economic development and job creation in Oregon and reinforces Iberdrola’s commitment to the United States, where the Group has €49.4 billion in assets and plans to invest €16 billion by 2028. Iberdrola currently serves a population of nearly 10 million people in the United States through its transmission and distribution networks New York, Maine, Connecticut and Massachusetts, and has 80 generation facilities with a total installed capacity of nearly 11,000 MW.
