15/04/2026 - 12:27 UTC +02:00Iberdrola launches a new edition of its Shareholders’ Day in Valencia Iberdrola has launched a new edition of its Shareholders’ Day in Valencia, a series of in-person events to be held in several cities across Spain in the lead-up to the General Meeting scheduled for 29 May. Following the success of previous years, the Group has tripled the number of host cities, reinforcing its commitment to shareholder engagement and to fostering a close relationship based on active listening. After Valencia, the meetings will continue on 21 April in Zaragoza, 23 April in San Sebastián, 5 May in Pamplona, 13 May in Madrid and 26 May in Bilbao. Based on previous editions, Iberdrola expects to bring together more than 2,000 shareholders overall. As part of the company’s 125th anniversary celebrations, the Investor Relations team presented to shareholders in Valencia—at The Westin hotel— the key factors that have positioned Iberdrola as a global leader. The presentation highlighted the company’s transformation over the past 25 years, the main figures of its Strategic Plan through to 2028, and its strong performance in the 2025 financial year, in which Iberdrola once again recorded a record net profit of more than €6.2 billion. The Shareholders’ Day has become a well-established forum for direct dialogue, allowing participants to learn first-hand about the milestones shaping Iberdrola’s development, engage with the management team, take part remotely in the General Meeting and receive the traditional commemorative gif. 125 light-years’ Exhibition Attendees at the Valencia event were the first to visit the ‘125 light-years’ exhibition, launched to mark Iberdrola’s 125th anniversary . Through a series of photographs and videos, the exhibition showcases the company’s evolution, its innovative spirit and its close connection with society. The exhibition includes images from the company’s early presence in the Valencian Community, such as an early 20th-century photograph of the Hidroeléctrica Española building in Buñol (Valencia), as well as visual records of Iberdrola’s efforts to restore electricity supply in emergency situations. These include its response to severe storms in the province of Valencia and the public’s appreciation following the 2022 incident affecting the electricity cable supplying the island of Tabarca (Alicante). Also featured is the Cortes–La Muela hydroelectric complex in Cortes de Pallás (Valencia), Europe’s largest pumped-storage facility and a landmark engineering project that supplies clean energy to millions of homes and industries. Closer engagement with shareholders and enhanced participation The General Meeting will be held with both in-person and remote participation options. The company has provided shareholders with extensive facilities to engage remotely in advance of the meeting via the corporate website, the shareholder helpline, instant messaging and postal voting. Iberdrola continues to strengthen its model of an open, accessible and sustainable GSM, which also includes permanent communication channels with shareholders and investors, such as the Shareholder Office, the Investor Relations Office and the Virtual Shareholder Assistant. As part of the GSM agenda, and in line with its commitment to shareholder remuneration, the Board of Directors will propose a supplementary dividend of €0.427 per share, in addition to the €0.253 per share interim dividend paid on 2 February. In total, Iberdrola will allocate €4.5 billion to dividends for the 2025 financial year. In addition, the company will propose a shareholder engagement dividend of €1 gross for every 200 shares, subject to the GSM reaching a quorum of 70% of share capital. READ MORE

14/04/2026 - 12:47 UTC +02:00Iberdrola reaches 400 MW of capacity in Italy with a new solar PV plant in Lazio Iberdrola has reached an agreement to acquire a solar photovoltaic plant with an installed capacity of 42 MW, located in Lazio (Italy) from CCE, an international renewable energy company headquartered in Austria. The asset, which was commissioned less than 6 months ago, is supported by long‑term PPAs that secure stable cash flows. The solar power plant will be part of the company’s Etruria Complex, which will reach a total capacity of 174 MW thanks to this new site, along with Montalto di Castro (23 MW), Tarquinia (33 MW), Montefiascone (7 MW), Limes 15 (33 MW), Limes 10 (18 MW) and Tuscania (18 MW). This plant also adds to Fenix, a 243 MW photovoltaic project, the largest to date in Italy, bringing Iberdrola to approximately 400 MW of installed renewable capacity in the country. The transaction, which remains subject to customary closing conditions, reinforces Iberdrola’s commitment to expanding renewable energy generation in Italy. The acquisition is also fully aligned with the Group’s 2025–2028 Strategic Plan , which foresees total investments of up to €58 billion –of which €21 billion will be allocated to generation projects with long-term contracts in countries with strong credit ratings and stable, predictable and attractive regulatory frameworks. This strategy is also reflected in recent transactions such as the acquisition of the 242 MW Ararat Wind Farm in Australia or the addition of 650 MW of solar power to the joint venture with Norges.

14/04/2026 - 12:20 UTC +02:00Iberdrola’s Global Smart Grid Hub and the Provincial Council of Bizkaia are celebrating their fifth anniversary with more than 120 partner companies and organisations The Provincial Council of Bizkaia and Iberdrola today celebrated the fifth anniversary of the Global Smart Grids Innovation Hub (GSGIH) in Bilbao. GSGIH is a public-private collaborative working environment between the electricity company and the Provincial Council of Bizkaia, based in Bilbao and launched in 2021, which connects both parties with suppliers, start-ups, technology centres and universities, with the aim of using innovation as a lever to continue driving the electrification of the economy and improving the quality of service for customers connected to the grids, through solutions that strengthen their robustness, resilience, flexibility and security. The event, held at the Berroeta Corporate Centre in Bilbao, was attended by the President of the Provincial Council of Bizkaia, Elixabete Etxanobe; Mario Ruiz-Tagle , CEO of Iberdrola Spain; Asís Canales, the company’s institutional representative; Ainara Basurko and Itxaso Berrojalbiz, councillors for Economic Development and Finance respectively at the Provincial Council of Bizkaia; Eva Mancera, CEO of Iberdrola’s i-DE Smart Grids; Javier Arriola, Director of the Northern Region at i-DE; and Estibaliz Goñi, Director of Processes and Technology at the Iberdrola Group’s distribution company, i-DE. Since the Hub was established five years ago, i-DE’s investment in innovation has grown by 55% compared to the previous period, exceeding 40 million euros annually, contributing to the region’s competitiveness by driving the value chain and reinforcing Iberdrola’s position as the world’s leading utility in terms of R&D&I investment. Since its creation, the Hub has received more than 9,000 visits, giving visitors the opportunity to learn about the networks, understand their importance in the electrification of the economy and see the positive impact of public-private collaboration. Over the past five years, the GSGIH has brought together more than 120 partner organisations and companies. These include more than 10 universities, 10 technology centres, over 25 start-ups and 45 leading companies in the sector. For the Deputy General of Bizkaia, Elixabete Etxanobe, this celebration represents “five years of work and progress, but above all five years in which Bizkaia has decided to position itself at the forefront of the energy transition. We are celebrating much more than an anniversary. We are celebrating a way of shaping and building Bizkaia’s future based on ambition, collaboration and the ability to anticipate challenges”. Etxanobe emphasised that “the war in the Middle East has reminded us of something essential: energy is not just a resource; it is a strategic issue. In this context, there is one indisputable certainty: without smart grids , there can be no energy transition. Without modern grids, there is no energy independence. There is no competitiveness. And there is no security”. Asís Canales, president of i-DE, the Iberdrola Group’s distribution company, and the company’s institutional representative in the Basque Country, noted that “in a particularly significant year for Iberdrola, as we mark 125 years of history, the fifth anniversary of the Global Smart Grids Innovation Hub confirms that collaboration between companies and institutions is key to creating a global benchmark in electricity grid innovation”. “From Bizkaia, this ecosystem is bringing solutions to the world that reinforce smarter, more resilient and safer grids, which are fundamental to advancing the electrification of the economy.” During the anniversary event, the Bizkaia Smart Grids Awards were presented to boost the competitiveness of businesses and entrepreneurs in the region. The Bizkaia Smart Grids Awards aim to recognise those R&D&I projects that generate new ideas, seek out the best methods and technologies, refine processes and create new knowledge that strengthens companies’ operations. All this takes place within a favourable environment in Bizkaia, featuring highly advanced fiscal tools that reinforce the capacity for foresight, resilience and competitiveness in the face of future challenges, enabling the development of products, processes and services that will accelerate the energy transition. Over the past five years, the Hub has grown to such an extent that, by the end of 2023, the ‘GSGIH brand’ was created as a mark of excellence. This has led to the ‘Product developed at the GSG Innovation Hub’ certification being awarded by AENOR, as a way of recognising those data equipment or products developed within the Hub and effectively implemented as network solutions. There are currently 13 products on the market bearing this seal, representing 18 manufacturers. The Hub aims to have 20 certified products by the end of 2026, developed in collaboration with suppliers, many of whom are based in Bizkaia. The ENLIT trade fair held in Bizkaia last November provided the perfect showcase for the Hub’s partners to present their seal to the international electricity sector. Iberdrola and the Provincial Council of Bizkaia have recently renewed the agreement that reinforces both parties’ commitment to technology as a lever for the electrification of the economy, industrial competitiveness and the creation of quality jobs, through innovation focused on equipment design, data products, systems and telecommunications networks that enable the distribution network’s capacity to be scaled up to meet growing demand. Furthermore, it aims to continue integrating renewable energies and building a safer, more reliable and resilient network, capable of tackling the challenges of climate change and cybersecurity. 125 YEARS COMMITTED TO THE NETWORKS OF THE FUTURE FROM BIZKAIA The celebration of the Hub’s 5th anniversary in 2026 coincides with Iberdrola’s 125th anniversary. A true story of business success based on constant adaptation to changes in the sector, whilst always maintaining the highest standards of environmental performance, efficiency and customer service. Indeed, the development and modernisation of electricity networks is now a key element in all institutions’ vision for the future of energy. The commitment by Iberdrola and the Provincial Council of Bizkaia to establish this centre in Bilbao, where the networks of the future are designed through collaborative innovation, is yet another example of their commitment to contributing to society, also with a view to the next 125 years. Iberdrola has made the website 125.iberdrola.com available to the public, which can also be accessed via the corporate website, where visitors can find all the information on the calendar of events related to the 125th anniversary. The website also features a wide range of audiovisual content that puts a face and a voice to those who have made this 125-year journey possible and are already laying the foundations for Iberdrola’s future. In this way, through real-life stories, it highlights Iberdrola’s impact on people’s lives and its role in moving towards a fairer, more fraternal, supportive and sustainable world through a more efficient, secure, innovative, competitive and self-sufficient energy model. SMART GRIDS ACADEMY (SGA) In addition, and as a result of the collaboration between the Provincial Council of Bizkaia and Iberdrola, the Smart Grids Academy (SGA) has been created. This is a pioneering initiative within the Provincial Council of Bizkaia’s “Bizkaia with the Talent” strategy to train active professionals from across the country in the energy sector and among smart grid suppliers, providing continuous training focused on technological specialisation. The commitment to the future of smart grids represented by the Global Smart Grids Academy, driven by Iberdrola and the Provincial Council of Bizkaia, forms the basis for defining a transformative project for the country within the framework of the Basque Country’s Industry Plan 2030.

10/04/2026 - 10:30 UTC +02:00Iberdrola launches a new edition of the Shareholders’ Day at its headquarters in Bilbao and other cities across Spain Iberdrola is launching a new edition of the Shareholders´ Day with a series of live events to be held in various cities across Spain before the Annual General Meeting scheduled for 29 May. Following the success of recent years, the Group has tripled the number of cities in which these meetings will take place to reinforce its commitment to shareholder engagement and to fostering a close relationship with them, characterised by active listening. Specifically, the meetings will take place on 14 April in Valencia, 21 April in Zaragoza, 23 April in San Sebastián, 5 May in Pamplona, 13 May in Madrid and 26 May in Bilbao. Based on previous years’ experience, Iberdrola expects to bring together a total of more than 2,000 shareholders. The Shareholders’ Day has become an established forum for direct dialogue between the company and its shareholders, where they can hear first-hand about the milestones that are defining Iberdrola’s development, interact with the management team and, at the same time, participate remotely in the Annual General Meeting and collect the traditional commemorative gift. Proximity to shareholders and additional incentives for participation The Annual General Meeting will be held with the option of attending in person or remotely, and the Company has made a wide range of facilities available to its shareholders to participate prior to the meeting via the corporate website, the shareholder’s telephone line, instant messaging and postal voting. In this way, Iberdrola is further strengthening the open, accessible and sustainable governance model that the company has been developing for years, which also includes channels for ongoing dialogue with shareholders and investors , such as the Shareholder Office, the Investor Relations Office and the Virtual Shareholder Assistant . As part of the agenda for the Annual General Meeting, and in line with its commitment to shareholder remuneration, the Board of Directors is proposing an interim dividend of €0.427 per share, in addition to the €0.253 per share already paid on 2 February as an interim dividend. Iberdrola will thus allocate €4.5 billion to dividends for the 2025 financial year. In addition, Iberdrola proposes to pay a participation dividend of €1 gross for every 200 shares, subject to the General Meeting achieving a quorum of 70% of the share capital. READ MORE

09/04/2026 - 23:23 UTC +02:00Strong shareholder response to Iberdrola’s takeover bid for Neoenergia Following the auction relating to the takeover bid launched on 24 November – a standard procedure for this type of transaction in Brazil – Iberdrola will acquire an additional 14,2 % stake in its subsidiary Neoenergia , bringing its total stake to 98 %. The price offered by Iberdrola was 33.77 Brazilian reais per share, meaning the transaction will involve a payment of 980 million euros, approximately 5.826 million Brazilian reais. The price is equivalent to the price paid last October for the acquisition of the 30.29% stake in PREVI (32.5 reais per share), adjusted for Brazil’s official interest rate (SELIC), and reduced by the special dividend declared by Neoenergia on 31 December 2025. Furthermore, Iberdrola could acquire 100 % of Neoenergia’s share capital before the end of the second quarter of 2026 as a result of the Brazilian company potentially exercising its right of squeeze-out. The offer stands out as one of the largest delisting transactions to date in Brazil, and for achieving one of the highest acceptance rates in the country. The transaction, completed at very attractive multiple valuations, has had a positive impact on Iberdrola’s results from the very first year and reinforces its commitment to Brazil and to growth centred on electricity networks , which account for 90 % of Neoenergia’s business. Neoenergia supplies electricity to around 40 million Brazilians through five distribution companies in the states of Bahia, Rio Grande do Norte, Pernambuco, São Paulo, Mato Grosso do Sul and Brasília, as well as via 18 transmission lines, making it the country’s leading distribution group in terms of customer numbers. Neoenergia, which operates in 18 states and the Federal District, has over 725,000 kilometres of electricity distribution lines and 8,000 kilometres of transmission lines, and has 3,600 MW of renewable generation capacity, mainly hydroelectric. This transaction comes on top of those carried out by Iberdrola so far this year , notably the acquisition of the Ararat wind farm in Australia, the sale of its onshore generation business in France, the sale of small-scale hydroelectric and slurry assets in Spain, the sale of its assets in Hungary, and the addition of 650 MW of solar power to the joint venture with Norges.
