26/11/2025 - 11:33 UTC +01:00Echelon Iberdrola Digital Infra is created to invest more than 2 billion euros in data centres in Spain Iberdrola and Echelon Data Centres have closed their strategic alliance to build and operate large-scale data centres in Spain. Echelon Iberdrola Digital Infra has been created, with planned investments of more than 2 billion euros, making it the largest European joint venture between an energy company and a data centre developer. With the completion of this transaction announced in July 2025, and after obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals, Echelon Iberdrola Digital Infra will begin its commercial activity with a focus on hyperscale technology companies and providers of infrastructure and services for artificial intelligence , a sector with great growth potential. The first project of this alliance will be Madrid Sur, a 160,000 m² complex that will have 144 MW for data processing and already has a 230 MW electricity connection secured. This project will generate about 1,500 direct and indirect jobs and its estimated demand is 1 TWh. In addition, it will have a photovoltaic solar plant and additional renewable energy from Iberdrola to guarantee all its electricity consumption. Keys to the agreement Iberdrola will contribute its experience in renewable generation and in the development and management of large electricity infrastructures. It will be responsible for identifying and securing land with good connectivity to the electricity grid and ensuring a 24/7 clean energy supply. For its part, Echelon will assume the permitting, design, marketing and operation processes. The stake in the joint venture will be up to 80% for Echelon, the rest of Iberdrola. Iberdrola has already secured more than 700 MW in electricity connections in strategic areas near Madrid and plans new projects that could add up to 6,000 million euros of investment. With this alliance, Iberdrola reinforces its position as a key energy partner for data centres. It currently markets more than 11 TWh to technology companies and data center operators worldwide. Spain, European digital hub Currently, more than 70% of data traffic to Europe passes through Spain, which consolidates our country as a strategic digital hub in Europe thanks to its fibre optic network and submarine connections. Added to this are the high availability of renewable energy at competitive costs and an advanced electrical infrastructure. READ MORE

24/11/2025 - 11:39 UTC +01:00Iberdrola launches a takeover bid for 16.2% of its Brazilian subsidiary Neoenergia to acquire 100% Iberdrola has submitted a takeover bid for 16.2% of Neoenergia's share capital. With the operation, the Group, which already controls 83.8% of the capital, would take over 100% of its Brazilian subsidiary. Iberdrola offers the same price paid in the recent acquisition of Caixa de Previdência dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil (“PREVI”) stake corresponding to 30.29% of the capital – 32.5 Brazilian reais per share – updated by the official Brazilian interest rate, called SELIC. A total disbursement (before its update according to the evolution of the SELIC rate and assuming that Neoenergia does not pay any intermediate dividend) of around 1,030 million euros is expected. The transaction will simplify Neoenergia's structure, providing its operations and financing with greater flexibility and reducing costs arising from maintaining the trading of shares on the market. With this transaction, Iberdrola reaffirms its commitment to Brazil and to a growth model based on electricity grids, which account for 90% of Neoenergia's business. Neoenergia supplies electricity to nearly 40 million Brazilians through 5 distributors in the states of Bahia, Rio Grande do Norte, Pernambuco, Sao Paulo, Mato Grosso do Sul and Brasilia and 18 transmission lines, making it the first distribution group in the country by number of customers. Neoenergia, which is present in 18 states and the Federal District, has more than 725,000 kilometers of electricity distribution lines and 8,000 kilometers of transmission lines and has 3,800 MW of renewable generation, mainly hydroelectric. Globally, Iberdrola already has 1,400,000 kilometres of electricity transmission and distribution lines in the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil and Spain. READ MORE

03/11/2025 - 13:49 UTC +01:00EIB and Iberdrola sign a €500 million green loan for the Windanker offshore wind farm in German Baltic Sea The European Investment Bank (EIB) has signed a €500 million green loan to Iberdrola for the Windanker offshore wind farm, a flagship clean energy project currently under construction in the German Baltic Sea. The financing is guaranteed by the Spanish export credit agency, Cesce. This transaction with Iberdrola marks the inaugural use of a guarantee developed by the EIB and Cesce, to support green projects led by Spanish companies outside Spain, contributing to the European Union's climate action and environmental sustainability objectives. The new project will generate clean energy for thousands of homes, accelerate Europe’s electrification and energy security, driving new employment, economic opportunity, and state-of-the-art renewable energy innovation. Windanker will contribute 315 MW of offshore wind capacity—enough to supply renewable electricity to 600,000 people every year according to Iberdrola estimates. "EIB’s €500 million financing for Windanker helps bring cutting-edge wind power technology to the Baltic Sea for the benefit of German consumers and local economies. The green electricity generated by the project will also take us closer towards securing Europe’s independence from fossil fuel imports,” said EIB Director General of Financing and Advisory Operations within the European Union Jean-Christophe Laloux. "With this loan, Iberdrola not only strengthens its financial structure and diversifies its sources of financing but also consolidates the confidence of leading institutions such as the EIB and Cesce in our ability to deliver. This backing allows us to continue promoting projects such as Windanker, which is key to electrification, in line with our new transformation plan,” said José Sainz Armada Iberdrola's Chief Finance, Control and Corporate Development Officer. Beatriz Reguero, area director for State Accounts at Cesce, said “Cesce is proud to support Spain’s leading companies as they drive the energy transition across Europe. The Windanker offshore wind farm demonstrates how long-term partnerships with public institutions like the European Investment Bank and Cesce can expand the capacity to support and back projects by Spanish companies that promote innovation and sustainable investment in projects that benefit local communities, strengthen economic growth and promote renewable energy for the future.” The project is part of TechEU the EIB Group’s programme to accelerate EU innovation which aims to mobilise €250 billion in investments by 2027 for startups, scale-ups and innovative companies across Europe. Specifically, the project will contribute to the cleantech line of action of TechEU. By increasing the share of clean energy in Germany’s grid, the project directly supports European and national goals to reduce carbon emissions, cut reliance on fossil fuels, and meet ambitious climate targets. Thereby the project is a strong contributor to EIB Group’s climate action objectives set out in the Group’s Strategic Roadmap for 2024-2027 and the Climate Bank Roadmap Phase 2 for 2026-2030 as well as the EIB action plan to support REPowerEU , the programme to increase energy security and speed up the energy transition by reducing the European Union’s dependence on fossil fuel imports. State-of-the-art renewable energy for Germany Windanker sets new standards for offshore wind technology, deploying 21 Siemens Gamesa SG 14-236 DD turbines, each up to 15 MW—among the most advanced and powerful offshore wind turbines globally. These turbines feature a groundbreaking 236-meter rotor and direct drive technology, increasing reliability and operational performance, and enabling over 30% more annual energy production compared to previous models. Innovative engineering and construction techniques are applied throughout the farm to ensure maximum efficiency, safety, and sustainability. The foundations, up to 84 meters long and up to 2,100 tons in weight, are being installed by Van Oord’s Svanen vessel. Construction started earlier this month with the installation of the first monopile. Turbine installation will follow in 2026, with full commissioning expected in the fourth quarter of 2026. Supporting skilled green jobs in a cohesion region Located in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, an EU Transition Region, the project will deliver a major economic contribution to the region, with around 2,200 person-years of employment generated during construction and up to 160 skilled permanent jobs sustained by ongoing operations. The majority of new roles will emphasize technical “green skills,” fostering long-term local expertise and workforce development while reinforcing industrial cooperation between Germany and Spain. Financing structure and guarantees Windanker is Iberdrola’s third major offshore wind development in the German Baltic Sea and marks a significant step forward for the company’s Baltic Hub strategy. The €500 million financing to Iberdrola is backed by a guarantee from the Spanish export credit agency Cesce, ensuring robust security for stakeholders. Project contribution and sustainability As a major contributor to Europe’s REPowerEU initiative and Germany’s National Energy and Climate Plan, the Windanker project will help accelerate the country’s energy transition, reduce carbon emissions by an estimated 672,000 tons CO2 annually, and support the national target to achieve 80% renewable share in electricity by 2030. The majority of the renewable electricity generated will be traded through long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) on the German market. Project financed by the European Investment Bank. READ MORE

29/10/2025Iberdrola issues €1 billion in the first EU Green hybrid bond Iberdrola has returned to the capital markets, this time to refinance a hybrid bond maturing early next year. The company has placed €1B in green hybrid bonds, as reported to the Spanish National Securities Market Commission. Like all the hybrids it issues, the bond is perpetual but has a repurchase option that begins in August 2031. The coupon was set at 3.75%, making it the lowest of all the hybrids issued this year, and also the lowest in this type of transaction since March 2022. As it did with its senior bond in May this year, Iberdrola complies in this issue not only with the ICMA Green Bond Principles, but also with the new European Union Green Bond Standard. This makes it the first green transaction under this format in a hybrid bond. The demand registered reflected high investor interest in Iberdrola, reaching more than €8B, which allowed the company to issue more than initially considered, and an oversubscription of 8 times the final offer, substantially reducing the expected cost. This was made possible by the participation of more than 400 qualified international investors, mainly from Europe and the United Kingdom. In addition, more than 87% of the participation corresponds to sustainable investors or those aligned with the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment. The company has taken advantage of the favourable market window that emerged after its results were presented, with costs at annual lows and in anticipation of central bank meetings in the United States and Europe, as well as an increase in competitive supply starting next week. Nine leading international banks participated in the placement: Barclays, Deutsche Bank, Mizuho, CACIB, MUFG, ING, Intesa, Wells Fargo, and Caixabank, which facilitated access to investors. The main areas covered by the operation are the United Kingdom (31%), France (19%), Germany (16%), Asia (5%), the United States and Canada (3.5%), and the Nordic countries (2.5%). By type of investor, almost 86% correspond to investment funds. The volume of demand and the conditions set once again demonstrate the level of confidence of the market and investors in the soundness and solvency of the Group's business and growth plans . This transaction will serve to refinance a similar transaction that will be repurchased in the near future, maintaining the company's hybrid volume stable at €8.25B, as committed by the issuer at its recent Capital Markets Day in London. In accordance with the methodology of the main rating agencies, hybrid bonds count as 50% capital meaning that this transaction contributes to maintaining the group's credit ratings. Iberdrola's last issue of this type of debt was in November 2024 with a coupon of 4.247%. Issuing capacity in capital markets worldwide The issue closed today by Iberdrola is its fourth public transaction on the market so far in 2025, raising €7.15B, including the €5B capital increase executed in July.
