08/10/2018Ignacio Galán: "The cost of electricity in households has increased by 30% less than the income of Spanish families over the last 40 years" The chairman of Iberdrola, Ignacio Galan, said this morning in the Congress of Deputies that over the last 40 years, "the unit cost of electricity for households in homogeneous terms - that is, eliminating the taxes[1] that have been added to the bill - has increased 30% less than the average income of a Spanish family, 40% less than the price per square metre of housing in the capital and 45% less than the cost of a product as fundamental as bread.” "Even considering all the taxes and energy policy costs currently included in the electricity bill, the final price per kWh has grown 7% less than the average family income[2]," said Ignacio Galán during the presentation of the paper Economic Development and the Energy Model. During the course of this speech, within the framework of the symposium The Great Transformation in Public Services: 40 years that changed Spain (1978-2018), Iberdrola's chairman asserted that this evolution "has been possible thanks to the significant effort of the Spanish electricity companies to improve their operational efficiency". In fact, in the early years of this century, analysts[3] from the most prestigious investment banks considered Spanish companies to be the most efficient companies in Europe. Similarly, Galán also stressed that "Spanish electricity companies are today more efficient, solid and international", which has turned them into world leaders and "engines for growth and dynamisation in the country's economy". In the case of Iberdrola, it has gone from being a domestic company to being placed, with 100% private capital, among the five largest in the world, "something unthinkable at the dawn of our democracy". Spanish electricity companies are today more efficient, solid and international "Since we transformed our model in 2001 to focus our growth on renewables and the electricity grids and storage necessary for their integration, Iberdrola has invested 25 billion euros in Spain," said the chairman. Driving force for Spanish industry As a result, today "Iberdrola generates more than 85,000 jobs in our country[4] and purchases goods and services from nearly 5,000 Spanish suppliers worth 4.7 billion euros annually[5]. Of that total, it allocates more than 800 million to international projects”. This has allowed "us to promote the revitalisation and opening to new markets for industrial companies such as Navantia and Siemens-Gamesa". Reviewing the evolution of the sector, Ignacio Galán also highlighted "the degree of diversification and environmental sustainability of our generating portfolio, which has reduced its emissions per production unit by nearly 40% in the [reference] period". Thus, for example, "coal and fuel oil plants have gone from providing half of the electricity in 1978 to only representing 20%, even in a year with scarce rainfall such as last year”. On the other hand, renewable capacity has almost quadrupled to over 51,500 MW, thanks to a 50% net increase in hydroelectric power (+6,832 MW) and the incorporation of other technologies, mainly wind and photovoltaic, which now account for 30% of total capacity (+31,155 MW). Likewise, the chairman of Iberdrola referred to the improvements in the service provided to Spanish citizens: "The quality of supply is now nine times better than in 1987, the first year in which this parameter was measured, with Spain now well ahead of other European countries around us - with twice the quality - and the United States.” The opportunities presented by the energy transition Ignacio Galán reiterated today that, although it is only responsible for 25% of global emissions, "the electricity sector is the one that offers the greatest advantages for advancing efficiently in the decarbonisation process. He went on to explain that "the integration of the more than 40,000 MW of installed renewable capacity required in the system - 40% of total current power - will also make it essential to extend and digitise our electrical networks and substantially increase storage capacity, both on a large scale - with new hydroelectric uses - and through batteries". "This scenario will require the mobilisation of investment worth more than 70 billion euros over the next 10 years alone," continued the chairman. To this end, as the international organisations and the main agents of the financial markets have been demanding, it will be necessary to have clear frameworks and incentives that guarantee regulatory stability and attract the necessary capital.” Finally, for Galán, "the transition towards a more sustainable energy system will allow us to obtain important advantages for our society": * The improvement in air quality and, consequently, in health, will prevent 24,000 premature deaths per year in Spain and a health cost equivalent to 3.5% of Spanish GDP[6]. * It will encourage the revitalisation of industry and job creation. According to data from the International Labour Organization, for every job lost, four new jobs will be generated in future sectors such as renewable energies, electric mobility and sustainable building. * We will increasingly reduce our energy dependence, which is still 73% because we import almost 100% of the oil and gas we consume, as well as a large part of the coal. * The mass influx of renewable energies will allow a substantial and structural reduction in the price level of electricity and its volatility.

03/10/2018Iberdrola completes the installation of the wind turbines in its first wind farm in the Canary Islands Canary Islands. Iberdrola has just completed one of the main milestones in the construction of a wind project: the installation of wind turbines in the Chimiche Park in Granadilla de Abona (Tenerife), its first wind farm in the Canary Islands and the first built by the company in Spain in the last six years. Containing seven 80-metre, 2.625 MW Siemens Gamesa wind turbines, the park has a total capacity of 18.375 MW, assigned in the Specific Canary Islands Wind Power Quota Tax Scheme. The facility will be operational before the end of 2018 and its production will allow the supply of renewable energy to a population equivalent to 15,000 households, which will avoid emissions of 33,000 tons of CO2. The project, which Iberdrola shares with a local partner through the company Energías Ecológicas de Tenerife, represents an investment of 30 million euros to install the wind turbines, the electricity transmission line and the transformer substation. Connecting to the substation, which is 4 km from the park, has required a series of complex civil engineering tasks to deploy the electrical infrastructure across a landscape that is characterised by the existence of many ravines. Leading wind energy producer in Spain Iberdrola is the leading wind energy producer in Spain, with an installed power capacity of more than 5,700 megawatts (MW) in the country, distributed across practically the whole Spanish territory. In addition, its total installed renewable capacity exceeds 15,800 MW. Worldwide, Iberdrola has a installed renewable capacity of 29,500 MW, allowing 67% of its total capacity to be emission-free, making its generation portfolio one of the cleanest in the energy sector.

01/10/2018Iberdrola allocates 1.5 million to its 2019 Social Program Through the Foundation in Spain , Iberdrola has finalised the 2019 Social Program, which seeks to contribute to social development and improved quality of life for the most vulnerable people in the Spanish territories where the company does business. Throughout 2019, the company will work closely with 54 social entities, benefiting over 80,000 people through an investment of €1.5 million. 74% of the budget is allocated to finalist projects selected in a call, while the remaining 26% corresponds to alliances with social entities. The selected projects, which obtain funding of up to a maximum of €40,000 –which must not exceed 50% of the total project budget– focus their efforts on social inclusion, with special attention to children, disabled people and people with serious illnesses. In addition, these initiatives will encourage volunteering and contribute towards creating direct jobs. In this edition alone, the programme will involve 200 direct jobs and 250 volunteers. Of all the initiatives chosen, 44% are aimed at avoiding situations of poverty and social exclusion, prioritising the fight against child poverty; 25% address improving the quality of life of people with serious illnesses and the remaining 31% address the social inclusion of people with disabilities. This initiative, which will take place in Spain, is characteristic of the company's commitment to society and is aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDS) for 2030, integrated into the company's business strategy. Specifically, Iberdrola’s Social Programme focuses its efforts on meeting goals 1 (no poverty), 3 (good health and well-being), 4 (quality education), 5 (gender equality), 10 (reduced inequalities) and 17 (partnerships for the goals). These plans will be developed by national and local non-profit organizations with proven experience, such as: Cáritas, Save The Children, Fundación Síndrome de Down, Proyecto Hombre, Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer (AECC), Fundación Tomillo and Menudos Corazones. The criteria of thoroughness, transparency and good governance implemented by these institutions were also taken into account. It was an indispensable requirement that they demonstrate their experience in social projects and for their accounts from the most recent years to have been audited. Another requirement was that their articles of association and documentation must be published on their websites. The list of selected initiatives has been posted on the Fundación Iberdrola España website. Iberdrola, committed to society Iberdrola, through its Social Programme, has already allocated over 8 million euros to social initiatives in Spain that have benefited a total of 270,000 people. Since this plan was launched in 2010, we have promoted over 300 projects that have contributed to social inclusion, especially that of children, young people and women in vulnerable situations. All these actions, which fall within the framework of Iberdrola's commitment to the creation of value in the regions where it operates, have allowed the creation of 800 jobs and the participation of 2,000 volunteers. Fundación Iberdrola España also focuses its activities on training and research in the field of energy, through scholarship programmes and grants aimed at young people, biodiversity projects protecting the environment, and cultural development, centred on caring for and maintaining cultural and artistic treasures.

01/10/2018Ignacio Galán: “It's never too late to invest in renewable energies, but you’d better be fast” Iberdrola's Chairman has given an interview to the Bloomberg TV channel to describe where the energy sector currently finds itself and the political and economic situation of the countries in which Iberdrola operates. Ignacio Galán urged the European Union to be aware of its energy needs, both present and future, and to act accordingly. He did not rule out the occurrence of power cuts in the UK due to supply shortages and quantified the investment Spain needs to make to tackle the energy transition at 80 billion euros. During the interview, Mr Galán applauded the rise of coal prices back to reasonable levels and asked for contaminating energies to be penalised and clean ones to be rewarded. Regarding electric vehicles, Mr Galán did not hesitate to forecast a boom once these become more highly developed, offer a greater range and are cheaper to buy. Likewise, when asked about the Eletropaulo dispute, Mr Galán made a point of reminding his audience that Iberdrola will never pay more for an asset than its true market value: “We are not going to invest money if we think we won’t obtain a return”, he assured. Reviewing the current political situation of the countries in which Iberdrola is present, Ignacio Galán remembered the anniversary of the Catalonian conflict, making a point of highlighting that in Spain there is consolidated democracy with a clear separation of powers. With respect to Brazil, where Iberdrola is the number one company as far as number of customers is concerned, he believes that notwithstanding the result of the upcoming elections, the eventual government will continue to follow the reasonable regulatory policy currently in place. He also celebrated the fact that Canada has aligned itself to the trade agreement between Mexico and the US before closing the interview by placing an extremely positive value on the respect being shown for the regulatory framework despite the economic downturn affecting both Brazil and Mexico.
