· Avangrid’s portfolio of 80 energy facilities produced approximately 13,000 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity during the first six months of 2025, enough energy to supply 2.4 million US households

· The subsidiary contributed to Iberdrola’s growing global energy production, which reached 66,000GWh during the first six months of 2025

· The Iberdrola Group has over 36 million customers worldwide

Iberdrola, through its subsidiary Avangrid, generated around 13,000 gigawatt hours (GWh) of energy in the US in the first half of the year, enough electricity to supply about 2.4 million households in the country.

Specifically, the group chaired by Ignacio Sánchez Galán has a total of 80 operating power facilities from coast to coast in the country, with a combined generation capacity of over 10.5 gigawatts (GW).

At the start of the year, Iberdrola’s subsidiary announced the commercial operation of three new solar projects in Texas, California and Ohio, representing approximately 600 megawatts (MW) of new capacity. This helped increase Avangrid’s solar energy output by 125% compared to the first half of 2024. Since 2015, Avangrid has increased its generation capacity by 66%, the company reported.

Avangrid highlighted that the energy generated by its growing portfolio of energy projects “demonstrates the company’s recognition of the US’s critical energy needs and its commitment to investments that deliver reliable and affordable energy to American homes and businesses, thereby contributing to achieving US energy dominance and meeting the rapidly growing demand.”

Iberdrola’s US subsidiary currently has 10 projects supplying over 1.5GW of energy to data centres and leading technology and artificial intelligence (AI) companies in the country. In addition, the group has a further five projects under construction, totalling nearly 700MW, which are helping these companies meet their urgent energy needs.

Strategic commitment to the US

In March, Iberdrola reaffirmed its commitment to the US, with investment plans of over $20 billion (about €18.303 billion) in grid infrastructure through to 2030.

The US is a strategic country for the energy company. In fact, last July it completed a capital increase of about €5B to finance the investment plan to accelerate its growth in electricity networks there and in the UK, mainly.

The utility, which will hold its Capital Markets Day in London on 24 September, expects its network asset base to exceed €90 billion in 2031, compared to €30 billion in 2020, tripling in just a decade.
