24/11/2025 - 11:39 UTC +01:00Iberdrola launches a takeover bid for 16.2% of its Brazilian subsidiary Neoenergia to acquire 100% Iberdrola has submitted a takeover bid for 16.2% of Neoenergia's share capital. With the operation, the Group, which already controls 83.8% of the capital, would take over 100% of its Brazilian subsidiary. Iberdrola offers the same price paid in the recent acquisition of Caixa de Previdência dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil (“PREVI”) stake corresponding to 30.29% of the capital – 32.5 Brazilian reais per share – updated by the official Brazilian interest rate, called SELIC. A total disbursement (before its update according to the evolution of the SELIC rate and assuming that Neoenergia does not pay any intermediate dividend) of around €1.03 billion euros is expected. The transaction will simplify Neoenergia's structure, providing its operations and financing with greater flexibility and reducing costs arising from maintaining the trading of shares on the market. With this transaction, Iberdrola reaffirms its commitment to Brazil and to a growth model based on electricity grids, which account for 90% of Neoenergia's business. Neoenergia supplies electricity to nearly 40 million Brazilians through five distributors in the states of Bahia, Rio Grande do Norte, Pernambuco, Sao Paulo, Mato Grosso do Sul and Brasilia and 18 transmission lines, making it the first distribution group in the country by number of customers. Neoenergia, which is present in 18 states and the Federal District, has more than 725,000 kilometers of electricity distribution lines and 8,000 kilometers of transmission lines and has 3,800 MW of renewable generation, mainly hydroelectric. Globally, Iberdrola already has 1,400,000 kilometres of electricity transmission and distribution lines in the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil and Spain. READ MORE
