28/04/2026 - 22:42 UTC +02:00Iberdrola expands its alliance with GIC in Brazilian transmission networks, bringing the total to 16 projects across 12 states Through its subsidiary Neoenergia , Iberdrola has strengthened its strategic partnership in the electricity transmission network business in Brazil with GIC, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund. The agreement signed contemplates the entry of GIC as a partner in a portfolio of seven projects in the states of Santa Catarina, São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Mato Grosso do Sul, Bahia and Rio Grande do Norte, for a total of approximately 2,418 million Brazilian reais (around 412 million euros). This is the third transaction completed under the partnership between Neoenergia and GIC , which led to the creation in 2023 of Neoenergia Transmissão, a joint venture focused on the transmission network infrastructure business. Following the completion of the transaction, Neoenergia Transmissão is now one of the five largest electricity transmission companies in the country, with a total of 16 projects across 12 states, comprising approximately 6,710 kilometres of power lines and a capital asset value (CAV) of around 25 billion Brazilian reais (around 4,600 million euros). Neoenergia also has a further 1,000 km of power lines in the country, which, when added to those included in this transaction, bring the total length of its transmission networks to almost 8,000 km. The deal confirms Iberdrola’s commitment to Brazil, following its recent acquisition of the remaining shares in Neoenergia for 5.826 million reais (980 million euros), and is in line with its strategy of investing in regulated electricity networks in markets with stable and predictable regulatory frames. The closing of the transaction is subject to the granting of the usual regulatory approvals, including those from the Administrative Council for Economic Defence (CADE) and the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL). Iberdrola’s firm commitment to Brazil With assets of around 120.000 million reais (approximately 20.400 million euros) and serving a population of over 45 million people across the country, Iberdrola is Brazil’s leading electricity distribution group. Specifically, Iberdrola operates and distributes electricity in the states of Bahia, Rio Grande do Norte, Pernambuco, São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul, as well as in Brasília. The Group’s firm commitment to the country has been demonstrated by investments of 30.000 million Brazilian reais (over 5.000 million euros) in the last year, making it the largest investor in the electricity sector in Brazil. Including its electricity generation, transmission and distribution assets, Iberdrola is present, through its subsidiary Neoenergia, in 18 Brazilian states and the Federal District, and has over 725,000 kilometres of electricity distribution lines and 8,000 kilometres of transmission lines, as well as 3,600 MW of renewable generation, mainly hydroelectric.

28/04/2026 - 20:03 UTC +02:00Ignacio Galán and Imanol Pradales open the Iberdrola Collection exhibition to mark the company’s 125th anniversary Iberdrola’s Executive Chairman, Ignacio Galán , and the Lehendakari (Basque regional president), Imanol Pradales, today opened the exhibition ‘Parallels and Meridians’ at the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum. Organised to mark the company’s 125th anniversary , the exhibition comprises more than a hundred representative works from the corporate art collection. The show coincides with the museum’s reopening following its extension and refurbishment and will run until 30 August. The opening ceremony was also attended by Ibone Bengoetxea, First Deputy President, Minister for Culture and Language Policy and President of the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum Foundation; Amaia Arregi, acting Mayor of Bilbao and acting Vice-President of the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum Foundation; Elixabete Etxanobe, Deputy General of Bizkaia and member of the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum Foundation; Ana Otadui, President of the General Assembly of Bizkaia; and Miguel Zugaza, Director of the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum. With ‘Parallels and Meridians’, Iberdrola is reinforcing its commitment not only to art and culture but also to Bilbao, the city where it was founded in 1901 as Hidroeléctrica Ibérica. The exhibition offers a journey through the Iberdrola Collection, structured around two conceptual themes. The ‘parallels’ reflect a chronological arc, from the beginnings of artistic modernity in the Basque Country in the late 19th century, through the development of the avant-garde from the 1950s onwards, to the more global artistic languages of the 21st century. For their part, the “meridians” structure the major themes that underpin the collection, including light, nature, ingenuity and work. This is complemented by Iberdrola’s strong links to Bilbao, where it has maintained its registered office since its foundation 125 years ago. In this context, ‘Parallels and Meridians’ presents for the first time to the public two views of the city painted by Antonio López from Torre Iberdrola, which are still in progress. The artistic route extends through Doña Casilda Iturrizar Park – with 24 panels reviewing key moments in Iberdrola’s history and linking them to some of the most emblematic works in its collection – to the atrium of Torre Iberdrola, where nine works will be on display, several of them created specifically for this space. A celebration open to society as a whole ‘Parallels and Meridians’ forms part of the broad programme of activities that Iberdrola is rolling out throughout 2026 to mark its 125th anniversary. Under the slogan ‘125 light-years’, the company is promoting a nationwide calendar of initiatives including art and technology exhibitions, music festivals, social events and the illumination of landmark buildings. Through these initiatives, Iberdrola aims to share with its employees, customers, shareholders and society as a whole a success story shaped by innovation, its commitment to people and its contribution to economic and social development through electrification , as well as its vision and outlook for the future.

Following the success of previous years, the Group has tripled the number of host cities, reinforcing its commitment to shareholder engagement and to fostering a close relationship based on active listening. The series began in Valencia and, following Zaragoza and San Sebastián, and will continue on 5 May in Pamplona, on 13 May in Madrid and on 26 May in Bilbao. Based on previous editions, Iberdrola expects total attendance to exceed 2,000 shareholders. As part of the company’s 125th anniversary celebrations, the Investor Relations team presented to shareholders in Aragon the key factors that have positioned Iberdrola as a global leader. The presentation highlighted the company’s transformation over the past 25 years, the main figures of its Strategic Plan through to 2028, and its strong performance in the 2025 financial year, in which Iberdrola once again recorded a record net profit of more than €6.2 billion. The Shareholders’ Days have become a well-established forum for direct dialogue, allowing participants to learn first-hand about the milestones shaping Iberdrola’s development, engage with the management team, take part remotely in the General Shareholders’ Meeting and receive the traditional commemorative gift. ‘125 Light Years’ Exhibition Attendees at the San Sebastián event were able to visit the ‘125 Light Years’ exhibition, launched to mark Iberdrola’s 125th anniversary. Through a series of photographs and videos, the exhibition showcases the company’s evolution, its innovative spirit and its close connection with society. The exhibition presents photographs from the company’s early years in the Basque Country, including historical images of Bilbao and the founding of Hidroeléctrica Ibérica in the early 20th century. It features iconic architecture, early electrical infrastructure, and original documents that trace the emergence of the business. It also showcases scenes of industrial development linked to electricity generation and supply, alongside the group’s evolution through to more recent milestones, such as the Torre Iberdrola, a landmark that symbolizes its long-standing presence and influence in the Basque Country. Strengthening shareholder engagement and participation The General Meeting will be held both in-person and remote participation options. The company has provided shareholders with extensive facilities to engage remotely in advance of the meeting via the corporate website, the shareholder helpline, instant messaging and postal voting. A key advantage is that the proxy voting card consolidates all of a holder’s shares, regardless of where they are held. This simplifies and streamlines participation, while also enhancing security through the inclusion of a QR code and access code. Iberdrola continues to reinforce its open, accessible and sustainable General Meeting model, which includes ongoing dialogue channels such as the Shareholder Office, the Investor Relations Office and the Virtual Shareholder Assistant. As part of the agenda for the General Meeting, and in line with its commitment to shareholder remuneration, the Board of Directors will propose a supplementary dividend of €0.427 per share, in addition to the €0.253 per share already paid on 2 February as an interim dividend. Iberdrola will therefore allocate €4.5 billion to dividends for the 2025 financial year. In addition, the company will propose a participation dividend of €1 gross for every 200 shares, subject to the General Meeting reaching a quorum of 70% of share capital. READ MORE
