Iberdrola España , which is responsible for installing the charging points and will also handle the operation and maintenance of the station, further strengthens its commitment to electric mobility . In total, the station will enable the electric charging of 47 parking spaces, all equipped with solar panels to maximise the installation’s energy efficiency and to supply up to 100 families or businesses with nearby renewable energy, while saving on their electricity bill. With more than 9,500 public charging points with a 100% renewable origin guarantee, Iberdrola’s electric mobility network is the most extensive in Spain. In total, in public and private charging points, the company's network exceeds 45,000 chargers. You can read the full article in Iberdrola España’s Communications Room . READ MORE

13/06/2025 - 14:26 UTC +02:00Iberdrola France promotes sustainable solutions for the maritime economy in France Iberdrola, through its subsidiary Iberdrola Energía Internacional in France, will finance initiatives that promote responsible fishing, emissions reduction and the use of local resources in the Bay of Saint-Brieuc, where it operates its first offshore wind farm in France. Three innovative projects have been selected as winners of the IBReizh programme, an initiative launched by Iberdrola France to promote sustainable economic development on the Brittany coast, where the Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm operates: biodegradable nets for cleaner aquaculture, more efficient and accessible boats for small-scale fishing, and alternative bait of biological origin. These three selected projects will receive funding and technical support from the Iberdrola France team. Since its creation, the IBReizh programme has promoted five agreements with local entities to promote innovation in the maritime sector.

12/06/2025 - 16:09 UTC +02:00Ignacio Galán affirms that energy security equals national security The Executive Chairman of Iberdrola, Ignacio Galán , today participated in the Global Trends 2025 Forum organised by the US Chamber of Commerce in Spain. During his speech, Galán stressed that electrification is the fundamental pillar to guarantee strategic autonomy, industrial competitiveness and environmental sustainability Galán observed that the global demand for electricity will double in the next 15 years, thanks to new technological advances which make electrification an unstoppable process: from transport, air conditioning of buildings, to digitalisation, data processing or artificial intelligence, all of today's great inventions are based on electricity. In addition, in an increasingly automated and digitized world, having electricity is the primary requirement for accessing all our day-to-day services, since, according to the Executive Chairman, "energy security equals national security". The Executive Chairman indicated that it is essential to have a robust energy system that is not dependent on external sources and that is equipped with grid infrastructure capable of meeting this growing consumption with full reliability, emphasising that electrification must be built with indigenous energies to be competitive. He also called for urgency in strengthening electricity infrastructure, and for a regulatory framework that facilitates investments. "The EU has indicated that it needs 1.2 trillion euros in networks, and this requires attractive returns, faster permitting and minimised litigation," he said. During his participation, Galán stressed that in order to attract these investments it is essential to have stable energy policies. He recalled that investments in energy infrastructure have maturation horizons of between 40 and 60 years, so companies need a clear and predictable regulatory framework that allows them to access capital in the financial markets. In addition, he advocated attractive profitability and rationalisation of taxation. On the other hand, he called for a reduction in administrative bureaucracy, which in many cases delays projects for years that could be built in just over a year. He also called for the elimination of asymmetric tax regimes that favour gas and oil over electricity, and advocated encouraging investment in networks and storage, especially in countries such as Spain where there are regulatory limits on investment in distribution networks. The Executive Chairman noted that Iberdrola has been leading this transformation for more than two decades, with investments of more than 170,000 million euros in smart grids, renewables and storage, and with a presence in more than 30 countries. Iberdrola's market capitalisation exceeds 100,000 million euros, making it the leading utility in Europe and one of the two largest in the world. READ MORE
