Following the transaction, agreed upon in the spirit of full cooperation that has always governed relations between the two companies, Iberdrola now controls approximately 84% of the company's share capital. The price of 32.5 reais per share, agreed on 10 September 2025, represents an outlay of more than €1.92 billion (11.95 billion Brazilian reais). The transaction has received the relevant regulatory approvals, in accordance with the regulations applicable to this type of transaction. 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 country's leading distribution group in terms of number of customers. Neoenergia has more than 725,000 kilometres of distribution lines and 8,000 kilometres of transmission lines and has 3,800 MW of renewable generation, mainly hydroelectric. With this operation, Iberdrola reaffirms its commitment to Brazil and takes a new step in its growth strategy based on the electricity grid business, in which it has 1.4 million kilometres of lines in the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil and Spain.

29/10/2025Iberdrola issues €1 billion in the first EU Green hybrid bond Iberdrola has returned to the capital markets, this time to refinance a hybrid bond maturing early next year. The company has placed €1B in green hybrid bonds, as reported to the Spanish National Securities Market Commission. Like all the hybrids it issues, the bond is perpetual but has a repurchase option that begins in August 2031. The coupon was set at 3.75%, making it the lowest of all the hybrids issued this year, and also the lowest in this type of transaction since March 2022. As it did with its senior bond in May this year, Iberdrola complies in this issue not only with the ICMA Green Bond Principles, but also with the new European Union Green Bond Standard. This makes it the first green transaction under this format in a hybrid bond. The demand registered reflected high investor interest in Iberdrola, reaching more than €8B, which allowed the company to issue more than initially considered, and an oversubscription of 8 times the final offer, substantially reducing the expected cost. This was made possible by the participation of more than 400 qualified international investors, mainly from Europe and the United Kingdom. In addition, more than 87% of the participation corresponds to sustainable investors or those aligned with the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment. The company has taken advantage of the favourable market window that emerged after its results were presented, with costs at annual lows and in anticipation of central bank meetings in the United States and Europe, as well as an increase in competitive supply starting next week. Nine leading international banks participated in the placement: Barclays, Deutsche Bank, Mizuho, CACIB, MUFG, ING, Intesa, Wells Fargo, and Caixabank, which facilitated access to investors. The main areas covered by the operation are the United Kingdom (31%), France (19%), Germany (16%), Asia (5%), the United States and Canada (3.5%), and the Nordic countries (2.5%). By type of investor, almost 86% correspond to investment funds. The volume of demand and the conditions set once again demonstrate the level of confidence of the market and investors in the soundness and solvency of the Group's business and growth plans . This transaction will serve to refinance a similar transaction that will be repurchased in the near future, maintaining the company's hybrid volume stable at €8.25B, as committed by the issuer at its recent Capital Markets Day in London. In accordance with the methodology of the main rating agencies, hybrid bonds count as 50% capital meaning that this transaction contributes to maintaining the group's credit ratings. Iberdrola's last issue of this type of debt was in November 2024 with a coupon of 4.247%. Issuing capacity in capital markets worldwide The issue closed today by Iberdrola is its fourth public transaction on the market so far in 2025, raising €7.15B, including the €5B capital increase executed in July.

Over the past several months, 450 transformer stations have been cleaned and renovated, and more than 300 medium-voltage pylons — affected by the buildup of mud and the force of floodwaters — have been rebuilt.. Iberdrola España’s investment in these new facilities has introduced enhanced resilience measures infrastructure design improvements and the adoption of the latest digitalisation standards.

27/10/2025 - 14:23 UTC +01:00Iberdrola installs the converter station for its East Anglia THREE offshore wind farm, the Group's first with high-voltage direct current (HVDC) technology Iberdrola, through its British subsidiary ScottishPower Renewables, has successfully completed the installation of the high-voltage direct current (HVDC) marine converter station at the East Anglia THREE wind farm, located some 69 kilometres off the coast of Suffolk in British waters in the North Sea. The project, which will involve an investment of €5 billion, is the first of the Iberdrola Group's offshore wind farms to incorporate HVDC technology, the most efficient way to transport electricity over long distances. This substation is a key element in the development of East Anglia THREE, Iberdrola's largest offshore wind farm in the world and one of the largest globally. Its function will be to transform the electricity generated by the farm's 95 turbines from high-voltage alternating current to direct current. With a capacity of 1,400 MW, when it comes into operation at the end of 2026, the farm will be capable of generating enough clean energy to supply more than 2.4 million people in the United Kingdom. The £4 billion East Anglia THREE project is a joint project between Iberdrola and Masdar, who took a 50% stake in the windfarm in July 2025 as part of a wider strategic partnership. The Masdar–Iberdrola partnership is one of the largest bilateral alliances in the global clean energy sector. The structure installed is impressive: it weighs 10,700 tonnes and measures 70 metres long, 34 metres wide and 48 metres high. It is the largest module built to date by the Iberdrola Group. To give an idea of its size, the offshore converter station is similar in height to a 16-storey building and weighs 50% more than the Eiffel Tower. The installation operation was a technical challenge, successfully executed thanks to the world's largest crane vessel, Heerema Marine Contractors' SSCV Sleipnir, which had already laid the project's offshore foundations last summer. The module was manufactured in Mangalia (Romania) in mid-2024 and, after travelling more than 3,800 nautical miles, arrived at the Aker Solutions shipyard in Stord (Norway) for final assembly. The installation of this offshore converter station marks a milestone in the progress of the project and reflects the joint effort of the teams and suppliers to carry out a highly complex engineering project.

Under the slogan ‘Creating Connections to Power the Future’, Iberdrola's Innovation and Training Campus ( San Agustín del Guadalix, Madrid) hosted an event where employees from the Group's different countries and businesses had the opportunity to talk to Ignacio Galán and ask him questions about the future of energy, Iberdrola's role in the industry’s transformation, the Group's prospects in different countries, and its team’s qualities and values. Ignacio Galán reviewed Iberdrola's track record over the last 25 years, which has led it to serve 100 million people and consolidate its position as the largest utility in Europe and one of the two largest in the world, with a market capitalisation of €114B: ‘We are a successful company thanks to our reliability and always being one step ahead’. In addition, the Executive Chairman of Iberdrola reaffirmed the validity of the Group's strategic vision — reflected in its 2028 investment plans of €58B — and highlighted the essential role each employee plays in its execution: ‘We know exactly where we want to go, but achieving the growth we have set ourselves will depend on each and every one of us.’ ‘We have ambitious teams who have a future vision’, he added, encouraging the Iberdrola team to work ‘ethically, with commitment and a spirit of creation’ and to ‘be entrepreneurs’. Finally, Galán expressed his belief in Iberdrola's growth potential: ‘If 25 years ago we were barely number 20 in the world and today we are number one in Europe and number two worldwide, we can do whatever we set our minds to.’ READ MORE
