Iberdrola reaches 11,000 MW of generation capacity in the United States

Iberdrola has reached 11,000 megawatts (MW) of installed capacity in the United States, where it operates nearly 100 generation facilities across 25 states through its subsidiary Avangrid.

This milestone underscores the Group’s continued commitment to investing in the country, strengthening a secure, locally sourced and sustainable power supply to meet growing demand, and contributing to the development of the communities in which it operates.

Iberdrola’s generation capacity in the United States now exceeds the total installed capacity of nine of the 27 European Union Member States and is sufficient to meet the annual electricity demand of more than seven million Americans.

In recent months alone, Iberdrola has commissioned five new facilities with a combined capacity of 850 MW: the 321 MW True North solar project in Texas; the 57 MW Camino Solar project in California; the Daybreak Solar and Bakeoven Solar projects in Oregon, with a combined capacity of 269 MW; and the 202 MW Powell Creek project in Ohio.

The commissioning of new facilities is particularly significant in the context of rapidly growing electricity demand, especially from households, industry and data centres. In this regard, Iberdrola has a strong project pipeline to continue expanding its generation capacity and advancing a secure, self-sufficient, competitive and sustainable energy model in the United States.

Alongside the United Kingdom, the United States is Iberdrola’s main investment destination. The Group plans to invest €16 billion in the country between 2025 and 2028, of which €12 billion will be allocated to transmission and distribution network infrastructure and €4 billion to new generation capacity.

Through its subsidiary Avangrid, Iberdrola is one of the leading energy companies in the United States, with operations in 25 states and an asset base exceeding €50 billion. The company supplies energy to nearly eight million people, employs around 8,500 professionals, and supports approximately 70,000 jobs through its supply chain.
