The two companies have signed an agreement to purchase onshore wind energy through a VPPA (Virtual Power Purchase Agreement) for 370 GWh a year for a period of 10 years, equivalent to the output generated by 190 MW of wind power. This partnership strengthens the competitiveness of onshore wind technology within the country's energy mix, while contributing to the reduction of annual CO2 emissions in Spain by more than 2 million tonnes. Leader in the European PPA market The Iberdrola Group has extensive experience in PPAs. The company manages power purchase agreements in Spain, Portugal, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, the United States, Brazil, Mexico and Australia for onshore and offshore wind and photovoltaic projects. Europe's leading power utility by market value and the world's second largest in the world has been offering innovative PPA propositions for more than a decade. For the second consecutive year, Iberdrola Group has been confirmed as the leader in the European PPA market, according to the Pexapark Renewables Market Outlook 2025 report, with 1,251 MW contracted in 2024, 38% more than in 2023. Iberdrola has announced agreements in Europe with major companies such as Amazon, with which it has signed wind and photovoltaic PPAs in Spain, Portugal and the United Kingdom for the East Anglia Three offshore wind farm. It has also signed agreements with other global customers such as Bayer, BP, Telefónica, Burger King, Salzgitter, as well as local customers. Europe's leading electricity company in terms of stock market value has also strengthened global partnerships with major companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Salzgitter, Mercedes-Benz and Vodafone, confirming the PPA as a key tool for industrial electrification, as it guarantees renewable energy at a fixed and stable price over the long term.

17/06/2025 - 16:19 UTC +02:00Iberdrola España and FCC open EnergyLOOP, the first wind turbine blade recycling plant on the Iberian Peninsula Iberdrola España , the Group's subsidiary in the country, and FCC Ámbito have inaugurated EnergyLOOP in Navarra, in northern Spain, the first plant specifically dedicated to recycling wind turbine blades on the Iberian Peninsula. This facility will recycle components from renewable facilities, one of the biggest medium- and long-term challenges facing the industry. The recycling plant was created to recover the components of wind turbine blades and reuse them in industries such as energy, aerospace, automotive, textiles, chemical and construction, which contributes to the transformation of the wind industry into a truly circular economy through investment in comprehensive recycling solutions for blades. An estimated 5,700 wind turbines per year will be dismantled in Europe by 2030 from repowering wind farms or from facilities reaching the end of their useful life. The plant, sponsored by Iberdrola through its PERSEO programme, has involved an investment of around €10M and will also contribute to the creation of an innovative and dynamic value chain.

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

10/06/2025 - 17:07 UTC +02:00The Aldeatejada Technology Innovation Centre: an example of economic revitalisation in Salamanca The Technology Innovation Centre (Cenit), inaugurated in 2008 by Iberdrola in collaboration with IBM, has consolidated Aldeatejada (in Salamanca, western Spain) as one of the main technology hubs in the area thanks to its economic and social impact on the region. Aldeatejada is the best example of Iberdrola's firm commitment to innovation and represents a real commitment to the future, progress and competitiveness of the economy of Castile and León, with a cumulative investment of close to €300 million and the creation of more than 1,000 direct jobs and 1,850 indirect jobs. This enclave has undergone a remarkable evolution in technological capabilities, including artificial intelligence , cloud services, cybersecurity, automation, digital experience and business solutions, becoming a key pillar of the digital transformation of Iberdrola and other international companies. The Cenit model has had a powerful knock-on effect in the province, attracting new technology companies, generating synergies with local universities and promoting research and training initiatives, demonstrating that sustained investment in digital infrastructure, together with strategic alliances between large companies, public administrations and the education system, generates tangible benefits for the region. This Iberdrola project has transformed the municipality into an inclusive, resilient and internationally-oriented innovation ecosystem. Iberdrola is currently the market leader in the development of data centres , marketing more than 10 TWh to technology companies and data centre operators worldwide. Spain has significant potential in Europe for the development of data centres, thanks to its strategic geographical position, which has consolidated its status as the gateway for global data to the continent. It has also recently set up the company CPD4Green, which leverages its assets, capacity and experience to facilitate the development of sustainable data centres. CPD4Green has secured more than 700 megawatts (MW) in Spain and has a potential portfolio of another 5,000 MW. You can read the full story in Iberdrola Spain's Media Room . READ MORE
