Iberdrola paid €10.4bn in taxes in 2025 In 2025, Iberdrola made the largest tax contribution in its history, paying a total of €10.41 billion in taxes in the countries where the company operates, according to its 2025 Fiscal Transparency Report. Tax payments in Spain reached a new record high in 2025, reaching nearly €4.7 billion, an 8% increase on 2024. This consolidates Spain’s position as the country to which Iberdrola contributes the most in taxes – almost half of the Group’s total – despite the fact that two-thirds of Iberdrola’s business and almost 75% of its assets are in other countries. The main reason is the number of electricity-specific taxes to which the Group is subject in Spain – a total of 41 – compared with just 28 across the other 31 countries in which the Group operates worldwide. Spain accounts for 79% of all the electricity-related taxes paid by Iberdrola worldwide. Globally, Iberdrola allocated 44% of its profit in 2025 to the payment of taxes affecting its results. Over the last five years, Iberdrola has paid more than €45 billion in taxes, a figure equivalent to all the dividends received by shareholders between 2001 and 2026. Iberdrola conceives its tax contribution as an essential component of its social dividend and has a well-established model of responsible taxation, based on strict compliance with regulations, transparency and consistency between its economic activity and the taxes paid. In the same way, Iberdrola’s tax strategy is based on a cooperative and trusting relationship with tax authorities, with voluntary participation in cooperative compliance programmes in countries such as Spain, the United Kingdom, Brazil, France, Portugal and Australia. The Group began voluntarily publishing its Tax Transparency Report and Country-by-Country Report in 2019, well ahead of regulatory requirements. This approach has positioned Iberdrola as an international benchmark for transparency and good tax governance. In 2025, the company renewed its Fair Tax Mark certification, improving its score in the process, and achieved first place in the Tax Responsibility and Transparency Index, which assesses the tax governance, quality of information and tax practices of large multinationals. In addition, the company’s tax compliance system has been certified in accordance with the UNE 19602 standard, renewed for the seventh consecutive year without any non-conformities. Tax contribution by country Iberdrola’s tax contribution in 2025 was distributed across its main markets as follows: €4.675 billion in Spain; €2.328 billion in Brazil; €1.384 billion in the United States; €1.061 billion in the United Kingdom; €645 million in Mexico; and €317 million in the other countries in which it operates.

Ignacio Galán: “Iberdrola’s business model is part of the solution to energy crises” Ignacio S. Galán, Executive Chairman of Iberdrola, discusses in an interview with the Spanish business newspaper ElEconomista the limited impact that the current geopolitical and energy crisis is having on the company. Galán, who is attending CERAWeek, one of the leading international energy forums held in the United States, has highlighted Iberdrola’s ability to offer competitive, long-term fixed prices, as well as the importance of investing in networks infrastructure to advance Europe’s electrification and strategic autonomy. Ignacio Galán emphasises Spain’s key role in European competitiveness and electrification, arguing for the urgent need to remove regulatory and fiscal barriers to facilitate investment and the expansion of electricity networks. He points out that electrification is essential to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, improve energy security and foster industrial and economic growth, as well as creating jobs. Regarding the main growth markets, Iberdrola is focusing its investments on the United States and the United Kingdom, where it plans to allocate €40 billion between 2025 and 2028 to expand and modernise transmission and distribution networks, as well as to drive forward renewable generation projects. Furthermore, it advocates extending the lifespan of nuclear power stations in Spain due to their contribution to the security and competitiveness of the electricity supply. Finally, Galán highlights that Iberdrola is entering a period of unprecedented growth, with historic investments and a renewed commitment to electrification and technological innovation. The company aims to become the world’s leading electricity company by market capitalisation, maintaining a policy of increasing dividends and a solid financial structure, which reinforces its leadership and ability to generate value for society and its shareholders.

Iberdrola agrees the sale of SP Dataserve Iberdrola, through its UK subsidiary ScottishPower , has signed an agreement to sell SP Dataserve, a company providing commercial metering services to non-domestic customers in the UK, to IMServ. By the end of 2025, SP Dataserve was providing 36,800 services to around 22,000 non-domestic customers across the UK. IMServ is a UK‑based metering and energy services company wholly owned by Bluewater, a specialist private equity firm with investments across the energy value chain. The sale of this non-core subsidiary forms part of Iberdrola’s active portfolio management strategy, which focuses on strengthening its core businesses and optimising capital allocation. The sale involves the divestment of a non-strategic business within ScottishPower and follows the transfer of the UK smart meter business to Macquarie in 2025, which further simplifies the Group’s business profile in the UK. The UK represents Iberdrola’s main investment destination, where the Group plans to invest €20 billion by 2028 as part of its strategic plan. Most of this investment will be dedicated to the development and modernisation of electrical networks , a key area for supporting the electrification of the economy, strengthening energy security and boosting competitiveness. Following the approval of the new tariff framework for electricity transmission, the company will quadruple the amount allocated to this business. The transaction just signed is in addition to others completed by Iberdrola so far this year: the acquisition of the Ararat wind farm in Australia, the sale of its onshore generation business in France, the sale of small-scale hydroelectric assets and the sludge treatment business in Spain, the sale of its assets in Hungary and the addition of 650 MW of solar power to the joint venture with Norges. The transaction closing is subject to customary conditions in this type of transactions, such as regulatory review. READ MORE

Iberdrola launches its remote participation campaign for the 2026 Annual General Meeting Iberdrola is today launching its remote participation campaign for the Annual General Meeting, which has already been called for 29 May – more than two months in advance, double the minimum legal notice period – to facilitate the involvement of its hundreds of thousands of shareholders. In this regard, from today, 20 March, a wide range of channels for proxy granting and absentee voting will be available until 28 May. These channels may be used by all shareholders who hold at least one share registered in their name.

In line with its commitment to shareholder remuneration, the Board of Directors is proposing to the Annual General Meeting a supplementary dividend of €0.427 per share, in addition to the €0.253 per share paid on 2 February as an interim dividend. Iberdrola will thus allocate €4.5 billion to dividends for the 2025 financial year. In addition, Iberdrola proposes to distribute an engagement dividend of €0.005 per share to all its shareholders, subject to the General Meeting achieving a quorum of 70% of the share capital, once again applying an engagement policy based on transparency, active listening and constant dialogue. Proximity to shareholders and greater incentives for participation The General Meeting will be held both in person and remotely, with a wide range of options available for remote participation prior to the meeting via the corporate website, the shareholders’ telephone line, instant messaging and postal voting, thereby reinforcing the open, accessible and sustainable model for General Meetings that the Group has been developing over the years. As additional incentives alongside the engagement dividend, Iberdrola is holding a prize draw for 30 electric bicycles open to shareholders participating via the website or the telephone line, and a commemorative gift may be collected at the shareholder information desks that will be available in the run-up to the General Meeting. To mark the Annual General Meeting, the Company is strengthening and expanding its existing channels for ongoing communication with shareholders and investors, who now have access to the Shareholder Office, the Investor Relations Office and the Shareholder Virtual Assistant.
