09/04/2025 - 15:00 UTC +02:00Adelaide Airport triples capacity of its self-consumption system thanks to Iberdrola Australia Iberdrola Australia , Iberdrola's international business company in Australia, has finished setting up more than 3,800 solar panels on the rooftops of Adelaide Airport's domestic and international terminal, almost tripling its previous self-consumption capacity. All of Adelaide Airport's electricity already comes from renewable sources, combining solar-powered systems at the complex itself and Iberdrola's wind farms at Lake Bonney in South Australia. The new 2.3 MW solar self-consumption system now generates approximately 3,282 MWh of energy a year, bringing the airport's total capacity to 3.5 MWp, enough to supply around 1,000 households. With this project, Iberdrola Australia has contributed to a significant increase in solar production at the airport, which previously had a farm on the roof of the multi-storey car park and a smaller one on the roof of one of its terminals, with a combined output of 1.28 MW. In December 2024, Adelaide Airport became the first major airport in Australia to achieve carbon neutrality. The main airport in South Australia's capital city, it is the fifth busiest down under. It handles more than 8 M passengers a year. { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "NewsArticle", "headline": "Adelaide Airport triples capacity of its self-consumption system thanks to Iberdrola Australia", "description": "Iberdrola Australia has completed the installation of more than 3,800 solar panels on the rooftops of Adelaide Airport's domestic and international terminal.", "image": "https://www.iberdrola.com/documents/20125/5125434/250309-aeropuerto-adelaida-726x484.jpg", "datePublished": "2025-04-09T09:15:00+01:00", "dateModified": "2025-04-09T10:15:00+01:00", "mainEntityOfPage": "https://www.iberdrola.com/sala-comunicacion/noticias/detalle/aeropuerto-adelaida-triplica-capacidad-sistema-autoconsumo-gracias-iberdrola-australia", "publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Iberdrola", "logo": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://www.iberdrola.com/documents/20125/4419331/Logo1-iberdrola-363x205.jpg" } } } READ MORE

09/04/2025 - 11:31 UTC +02:00Iberdrola España launches ATuAire to boost aerothermal energy with solutions to electrify heating and hot water Iberdrola España , the Spanish subsidiary of the Iberdrola Group, reinforces its commitment to the electrification of heat and launches ATuAire, a company specialising in aerothermal energy in Spain , which aims to spearhead and facilitate access to this energy solution to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, helping to improve air quality and reduce dependence on foreign sources of energy. Heat accounts for 41% of final energy consumption in Spain. The European directive on buildings’ energy performance requires all new buildings, both public and private, to be zero-emissions by 2030, extending this requirement to all buildings, both new and existing, by 2050. Aerothermal energy is a heat pump that uses the energy from the outside air to produce heating in winter, cooling in summer, and hot water all year round. This sustainable technology is four times more efficient than a conventional fossil fuel boiler and helps the environment by reducing CO2 emissions. The new company, focused on the tertiary, industrial and residential community sector, designs turnkey customised solutions combining the most efficient technologies with each client’s specific needs. ATuAire also offers the possibility of increasing savings from the installation of aerothermal energy by combining it with the thermal insulation of façades and roofs, which reduces energy consumption and increases residents’ feeling of comfort, and with own producing and consuming solar, a solution that also increases independence from fossil fuels as it allows 100% renewable energy to be consumed close to the source.

08/04/2025 - 11:38 UTC +02:00Iberdrola España supports Bayer in the electrification of steam at its Asturias plant Bayer and Iberdrola España , the Iberdrola Group’s Spanish subsidiary, have signed the agreement that will enable the electrification of Bayer’s production plant in La Felguera (Asturias, in northern Spain), one of the most prominent projects in industrial decarbonization in the Asturian mining basin. Iberdrola will install an innovative thermal storage system next to the Bayer plant and will convert 100% renewable electricity – sourced from an adjacent self-consumption facility and several renewable plants – into the steam that Bayer needs for its operations. This is the first heat purchase agreement (HPA) of its kind in Spain. With this significant milestone, the plant that produces Bayer’s acetylsalicylic acid for the entire world will become the first site in its industry in Spain to decarbonise, and one of the first worldwide, thanks to the photovoltaic plant that Iberdrola will install next to the factory on the unusable land of the former thermal power station.

08/04/2025 - 09:23 UTC +02:00APD and Iberdrola discuss the new international tax landscape Representatives of the Basque and Spanish governments, the European Commission and executives of large companies met today at Torre Iberdrola at a conference organised by the Association for Progress in Management (APD in Spanish) entitled The New International Tax Landscape : Legal Certainty as a Basis for Competitiveness and Business Investment, to discuss the future of global taxation. The meeting was opened by Asís Canales, Director of Resources and Services and institutional representative in the Basque Country of the Iberdrola Group, who argued that a good fiscal policy can generate more and better business activity and with it more jobs, more wealth and more public revenue: ‘An excellent fiscal policy has to have medium-term planning, where the constraints of today do not jeopardise the growth of tomorrow’, he said. This was followed by Eduardo Junkera, president of APD's northern region and director of the Egile Corporation XXI Group. After them, the Basque Minister of Finance and Treasury, Noël d'Anjou, spoke about legal certainty as a basis for competitiveness and business investment. D'Anjou highlighted the growing weight of the Basque Country in international decision-making: ‘The agreements reached in the last three meetings of the Joint Economic Agreement Commission have strengthened the position of the Basque Government in the construction of a global Euskadi, being able to be present and participate in high-level groups. This means having our own voice in the bodies of the Economic and Financial Affairs Council of the European Union (Ecofin) and in the forums of the OECD and the G-20 where the international standards of business taxation are being designed’. The Sailburu added that ‘this allows us to raise our international visibility several notches and enables us to actively participate in forums where the taxation of the future is analysed and planned’. Electricity Taxation Begoña García-Rozado, Global Head of Taxation at Iberdrola, stated that ‘legal certainty is key to advancing in electrification, and the EU is trying to promote it through measures like the Clean Industrial Deal. Europe has taken the initiative to make sure electricity is not penalized and to ensure it can compete on equal terms with Asia and the United States, where there are no specific taxes on electricity. Now is the time for member states to take note and to take action.’ ‘In Spain, in addition, electricity is subject to the maximum 21% VAT, a Special Tax at 5.1%, and the Tax on the Value of Electricity Production at 7%. On top of that, there is a hydroelectric fee and regional taxes on renewables. Iberdrola is subject to more than 70 electricity-related taxes worldwide, the vast majority of which are in Spain, where it faces 40 electricity taxes, including 26 regional ones,’ she pointed out. { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "NewsArticle", "headline": "APD and Iberdrola discuss the new international tax landscape", "description": "Representatives of the Basque and Spanish governments, the European Commission and executives of large companies met today at Torre Iberdrola at a conference organised by the Association for Progress in Management (APD in Spanish).", "image": "https://www.iberdrola.com/documents/20125/5120661/encuentro-fiscalidad-internacional-726x484.jpg", "datePublished": "2025-04-08T09:14:00+01:00", "dateModified": "2025-04-08T10:22:00+01:00", "mainEntityOfPage": "https://www.iberdrola.com/press-room/news/detail/apd-iberdrola-discuss-new-international-tax-landscape", "publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Iberdrola", "logo": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://www.iberdrola.com/documents/20125/4419331/Logo1-iberdrola-363x205.jpg" } } } READ MORE
