03/06/2026 - 10:08 UTC +02:00Iberdrola strengthens its US presence with a new Avangrid-Microsoft PPA Avangrid, subsidiary of the Iberdrola Group in the United States , has signed a new power purchase agreement (PPA) with Microsoft for Bluebird Solar, a 140 MWdc (100 MWac) solar project in Washington State. The agreement brings the companies’ total contracted capacity in the US to more than 500 MW, further strengthening a strategic partnership that supports the growing demand for clean electricity from major technology companies. The deal also reinforces Iberdrola Group’s position as a leading provider of long-term renewable energy solutions in the United States. Bluebird Solar is the fourth project contracted by Avangrid and Microsoft, following several solar and wind developments announced in recent years. Together, these projects highlight the Group’s ability to support the electrification of the economy through large-scale renewable energy generation. Expected to enter operation in 2028, Bluebird Solar will not only expand renewable energy capacity but also deliver economic benefits to the local community through investment, job creation and tax revenues, further strengthening the Group’s footprint in one of its key markets.

02/06/2026 - 17:00 UTC +02:00Iberdrola has connected its new Tower Solar plant to the grid in Oregon (USA) to meet the growing demand from large customers Iberdrola, through its subsidiary Avangrid , has connected its new Tower Solar photovoltaic plant to the regional electricity grid in Morrow County, Oregon (United States). The company expects the plant to enter commercial operation this summer, once the final phases of the project have been completed, to help meet the growing energy demand of large customers. With a capacity of 166 MWdc (120 MWac), the facility incorporates more than 250,000 solar panels. The energy generated will be fed into the Portland General Electric (PGE) grid and will be used primarily to meet the demand of large municipal, commercial and industrial consumers, in a context marked by strong growth in electricity demand. For example, the new renewable capacity at Tower Solar will support the operations in the region of QTS (Quality Technology Services), one of the leading US providers of digital infrastructure and data centres. In this regard, the plant will supply electricity to the PGE grid through the Green Future Impact (GFI) programme, which enables large consumers to access clean energy to advance their decarbonisation goals. This model drives the development of new renewable capacity directly linked to these customers’ demand, without passing on additional costs to other users of the system. The project responds to the sustained growth in electricity demand in the United States, particularly in the north-west of the country. In this context, the Group is reinforcing its commitment to energy solutions that combine competitiveness, security of supply, local generation, direct support for economic and industrial growth, and community development. Through Avangrid, the Iberdrola Group has more than 11,000 MW of installed capacity in the United States, spread across nearly 100 plants in 25 states. READ MORE

02/06/2026 - 10:40 UTC +02:00Iberdrola promotes the electrification of industry with eight projects that will mobilise 150 MW of renewable energy Iberdrola has been awarded eight projects in the first European auction for the decarbonisation of industrial heat promoted by the European Commission's 'Innovation Fund', an initiative that will accelerate the replacement of fossil fuels with renewable energy in energy-intensive industrial sectors. The initiatives, based on the direct electrification of heat using electric boilers, will require approximately 240 GWh per year of electricity from renewable sources. The programme will significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions associated with industrial processes with high energy demand, strengthening the competitiveness of the participating companies. The actions will be deployed in sectors such as food and beverages, chemicals, manufacturing, tires, mining and other industrial areas, consolidating electrification as one of the main levers to advance in the decarbonization of industry. With this award, Iberdrola reinforces its role as a strategic partner of the industry in its electrification process, offering solutions that reduce exposure to the volatility of fossil fuels and advance the sustainability and emission reduction objectives required by European regulation and the market. 65 selected projects The European auction, managed by the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA), has selected 65 projects in ten European countries, with nearly 400 million euros in aid. Spain leads the call with 24 of the 65 awards. In the case of Iberdrola, the set of selected initiatives adds up to nearly 50 million euros in aid, which represents approximately 35% of the total granted in Spain and represents a significant boost to accelerate the electrification of industrial heat in the country. In addition to reducing emissions, the initiatives will allow participating companies to move towards more efficient, competitive and resilient energy models, thanks to long-term contracts that provide stability and visibility on the cost of decarbonised heat. The execution of these projects includes long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) that will mobilize more than 150 MW of renewable energy. These actions are in addition to two other PPAs signed by Iberdrola in Spain with companies in the metallurgical and data centre sectors, which together represent another 90 MW of renewable energy. Comprehensive solution Iberdrola offers a comprehensive solution that covers the design, construction and operation of the facilities, as well as the supply of the renewable energy necessary to produce electrified heat. The aim is to minimise the impact on factory operations and facilitate efficient and easy decarbonisation for industrial customers. "This aid allows us to accelerate real, mature initiatives that improve the competitiveness of our customers, reduce their cost of heat, reduce their exposure to the volatility of fossil fuels and advance decarbonisation objectives," says Fernando Mateo, head of industrial decarbonisation at Iberdrola. "The direct electrification of industrial heat is one of the most effective levers to cut emissions in the short term, and the European auction shows that there is a solid portfolio of viable projects to be deployed from now on," he said. The award comes at a key moment for electrification in Europe. The European Commission is already working on a second call for industrial heat auctions scheduled for the coming months, with the aim of continuing to accelerate the replacement of fossil heat with clean solutions and technologies. Iberdrola works with customers in energy-intensive sectors to accelerate the implementation of clean technologies, strengthen the competitiveness of the industrial fabric and move towards a more sustainable and energy-efficient economic model.
