28/01/2026 - 16:35 UTC +01:00Neoenergia launches a new safety campaign during Carnival, bringing together two leading Brazilian artists Neoenergia, a subsidiary of the Iberdrola Group in Brazil , has brought together singer and songwriter Alceu Valença and the band BaianaSystem, two of the most influential names in Brazilian music, for an electrical grid safety awareness campaign during Carnival 2026. The aim is clear: to raise awareness of the risks associated with dangerous behaviour involving the power grid, such as climbing power poles, making illegal connections or throwing metal streamers near electrical wiring. This is particularly important during Carnival, when millions of people fill the streets of the country’s major cities. For Neoenergia, music is an effective strategy to reinforce its commitment and strengthen the brand’s relevance as an agent of social transformation , drawing on the power of Brazilian culture to convey essential messages to the general public. The result is a campaign that encourages people to celebrate Carnival while also promoting safer behaviour, helping to protect revellers, communities and the continuity of the energy supply.

23/01/2026 - 13:30 UTC +01:00Iberdrola strengthens its position in Davos as a key player in global energy debate Iberdrola's Executive Chairman , Ignacio Galán, concluded his participation in the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos with a busy schedule of meetings with business leaders and international policy makers, consolidating the company's role as one of the major global players in the energy and electricity infrastructure sector. Over the last few days, Galán has held various meetings and participated in panel discussions focusing on major economic and geopolitical challenges, paying particular attention to the growth in electricity demand, the need to strengthen networks and the role of energy as a key factor in competitiveness and security. As part of this agenda, the Executive Chairman of Iberdrola held meetings with representatives from Qatar, with whom he exchanged views on opportunities for economic and energy cooperation. He met with the Prime Minister of Qatar and the CEO of Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), as well as leading figures in international politics such as Tony Blair, chairman of JP Morgan's International Council, with whom he discussed the global challenges arising from the transformation of energy systems. He also attended European forums, such as that of European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen. In addition, he participated in high-level talks with US administration officials, including US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, in a context marked by Iberdrola's strong investment push in electricity infrastructure across the Atlantic. He has also been in contact with members of the Spanish government, including Carlos Cuerpo, the Minister of Economy, Trade and Business, within the framework of Spain's institutional presence at the forum. In addition to these meetings, the Executive Chairman of Iberdrola participated in various panels and multilateral meetings with business leaders and representatives of international organisations, addressing issues such as the electrification of the economy , regulatory stability and attracting large-scale investment. With this agenda, Iberdrola is strengthening its position at Davos as a key player in the global energy debate, actively participating in the main forums for dialogue and cooperation alongside top-level political and economic leaders. The multinational's Executive Chairman defended Iberdrola's ambition in the energy sector. "To do important things, you need ambition, vision and capability. I believe we are in the right industry at the right time, and we have demonstrated throughout our 125 years that we are capable of achieving the goals we set out for ourselves." The Executive Chairman framed his speech within the context of Iberdrola's trajectory — 125 years of history and leadership — and emphasised the strategic decision taken more than two decades ago to invest "massively" in networks, renewables and storage, which has enabled the Group to grow more than tenfold. Iberdrola is currently the largest electricity company in Europe by market capitalisation and is among the two largest in the world, having exceeded €125 billion in market value. ‘Iberdrola has planned investments of close to €60 billion over the next four years, more than two-thirds of which will go precisely to the electricity grid industry. And to go forward with these investments, stable, predictable and incentivising frameworks are needed’, he reiterated. READ MORE

23/01/2026 - 11:55 UTC +01:00Iberdrola has commissioned the largest batteries in Spain Iberdrola España, a subsidiary of the Iberdrola Group in Spain , has commissioned the first two large-scale battery storage systems in Spain, located in Alarcón (Cuenca). With a storage capacity of 60 MWh and a power output of around 30 MW each, the Romeral and Olmedilla batteries can store enough emission-free energy to supply electricity to more than 13,000 homes with electricity for two hours. Construction of the batteries generated more than 100 jobs and involved various national suppliers. Iberdrola has thus once again demonstrated that renewable energies drive skilled employment and industry in Spain. Battery storage is an innovative technology that maximises the use of clean energy. It also improves the quality of the electricity supply, ensuring the stability and reliability of electrical networks, while integrating and harnessing energy generated by renewable sources. The Romeral and Olmedilla batteries form part of a set of six Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) with a combined power output of 173 MW. The IDAE recognised this project as a Strategic Project for Economic Recovery and Transformation (PERTE), providing it with €37.5 million in funding. Iberdrola promotes efficient energy storage as a key lever for electrification and decarbonisation. To this end, the company is committed to large-scale storage through pumped hydroelectric power stations and small-scale storage through BESS.

The Ekienea project, with a planned investment of €90 million, will generate clean, local energy for industrial self-consumption and will produce around 155 GWh/year, equivalent to the consumption of some 45,000 households, reducing CO₂ emissions by around 15,500 tonnes a year and contributing to the Basque Country's decarbonisation and industrial competitiveness objectives. The project will create up to 300 jobs during peak construction periods, contributing to the economic development of the area, and will include various projects to promote coexistence with biodiversity.
