Iberdrola receives award for company that adds most value through M&A

Iberdrola has been honoured the Impulsa 2025 award by Capital & Corporate as the company that has most driven its growth through corporate operations. The award was collected by David Mesonero, the company's Director of Corporate Development, at its Annual CapCorp Congress. The award highlights the growth and leadership strategy that Iberdrola has deployed in recent years in mergers, acquisitions and strategic partnerships.

Over the last two years, Iberdrola has topped the European ranking with 26 transactions and a transaction volume exceeding €18.5B. Its intense activity has enabled the company to meet its 2026 targets ahead of schedule and make solid progress towards meeting its 2028 goals.

Iberdrola's strategy combines partnerships with leading partners, acquisitions in strategic businesses and divestments in non-priority geographical areas. Among the most significant transactions were the purchase of the Electricity North West (ENW) distributor in the United Kingdom for €5B, the acquisition of a minority stake in Avangrid, its US subsidiary, and the increase in control of Neoenergía, its Brazilian subsidiary.

The company has also signed partnerships with institutional partners in key markets to spur on international expansion and the development of smart grid and renewable energy projects, sharing risks and optimising financing.

Thanks to these operations, Iberdrola has consolidated its position as the leading utility in Europe and one of the two largest in the world by market capitalisation, reaching nearly €115B.
