10/12/2025 - 10:17 UTC +01:00Iberdrola Spain collaborates on a corrosion protection project for offshore infrastructure Iberdrola España, the Group's subsidiary in the country , together with the companies GALEA and MENDIETA and the TECNALIA research and technological development centre, have launched a project aimed at developing new sustainable anti-corrosion protection systems for metal structures in offshore environments. This corrosion affects turbines, towers and bases, drastically reducing their useful life and increasing the need for frequent repairs and replacements, significantly raising maintenance costs and affecting turbine efficiency, thereby reducing energy generation and project profitability. It also compromises the structural integrity of the infrastructure, putting the marine environment at risk. This project will help minimise corrosion in marine environments through a duplex protection system that combines zinc coatings and sustainable organic finishes, such as cork, and 0% VOC (volatile organic compound) coatings to increase the service life of metal structures in marine environments. In addition, European regulations establish the promotion and development of coatings with low or zero emissions. You can read the full story in the Iberdrola Spain Media Room. READ MORE

15/04/2025 - 12:05 UTC +02:00Avangrid Uses Generative AI to Support Field Technicians at Its Wind Farms in the United States Avangrid, the US subsidiary of Iberdrola , has begun deploying a solution built to transform field operations at its wind farms. First Time Right Autopilot puts generative artificial intelligence (AI) into the hands of field technicians to help them quickly identify and resolve any issues detected in the operation of wind turbines. This tool is integrated into the mobile devices of field technicians and can be activated via voice or text. First Time Right Autopilot gathers relevant information to define the nature and scope of the issue before providing the technician with detailed instructions, supplemented with relevant documentation or instructional videos. The solution enables rapid detection and resolution of incidents at operational facilities, as well as speeding up decision-making and solution deployment. In this way, downtime is reduced, and operational efficiency is improved. The tool was created using Amazon Bedrock, a service from Amazon Web Services that offers a choice of high-performing foundation models from leading AI companies.

For five months, the SME suppliers benefiting from the programme (more than 920 for Iberdrola) can access online courses, live recorded sessions, practical guidelines, templates for policies and codes and case studies of other companies. Once they have completed all the modules of the programme, SMEs will receive a participation and achievement certificate. All this can be done free of charge, including training in four modules on general aspects of sustainability, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the topics in four blocks of the Global Compact Principles and the internationalisation of the company, incentives and non-financial information reporting. Commitment to suppliers The company has been promoting environmental and social sustainability and governance with defined commitments for years. Iberdrola's supplier must accept the supplier's Code of Conduct in order to enter into a business relationship with the company. This includes principles of action and clauses on respect for human rights, equal opportunities, inclusion and diversity, occupational hazard prevention and safety, anti-fraud and corruption measures, and respect for the environment, among other issues. Iberdrola seeks supplies and suppliers that, in addition to being sustainable, are transparent, solvent, fair, ethical, and technically competitive. For this reason, the supplier is evaluated during the purchasing process to ascertain potential risk. We verify that their operations are aligned with the Group's policies, principles, and responsibilities. The Sustainable Suppliers training programme is now in its third year with the participation of more than 5,200 SME suppliers from 72 countries. The programme is promoted by the UN Global Compact Spain together with the ICO Foundation and ICEX Spain Export and Investment, with Iberdrola and 47 other large Spanish companies, partners of the UN Global Compact Spain, participating as mobilisers.

He was accompanied by Ingeteam's CEO, Adolfo Rebollo, and Asís Canales, Iberdrola's Global Director of Resources and Services. During the visit, Ignacio Sánchez-Galán highlighted the company's firm commitment to the Basque Country. This is expressed in the recent orders Iberdrola has placed with Basque suppliers . One of these is the company Ingeteam, based in Zamudio, Bizkaia. The purpose of the visit was to learn about how of Ingeteam Indar Machines manufactures and produces generators in Beasain for Iberdrola's Villarino hydroelectric power plant in Castilla y León first-hand. Purchases from the company chaired by Teresa Madariaga have accumulated a value of just over €350 M over the last five years. These contracts are mainly for Iberdrola's renewable energy projects, grid digitalisation and the economy’s electrification. In terms of renewable energy projects, of note are the contracts for the future supply of 6 motor-generator stators for the Villarino plant for €22 M, the transformation centres for solar plants and for storage for 4 photovoltaic plants (Almaraz I, Almaraz II, Andévalo, Revilla Vallejera), the purchase of integrated operation and control centres for the substations of the Tâmega Norte and Tâmega Sul farms in Portugal, and the purchase of the starter for the Tâmega Norte and Tâmega Sul plants in Portugal, Andévalo, Revilla Vallejera), the purchase of integrated operation and control centres for the substations of the Tâmega Norte and Tâmega Sul wind farms in Portugal, and the starter for the Valparaíso hydroelectric plant, which will allow Ingeteam to take advantage of opportunities in pumping technologies. In grid digitisation , noteworthy are the agreements reached in Brazil for new substations and the agreements to supply protection and control equipment for substations in Spain. In relation to the economy’s electrification, of particular note are the contracts to supply equipment to charge electric vehicles and battery storage systems in Spain, the United Kingdom and Portugal, as well as opportunities in the electrification of ports (OPS) and the production of renewable hydrogen, where Ingeteam is a benchmark in the manufacture of rectifiers. These partnerships reflect Iberdrola's long-standing ties with the Basque Country, where it has spent decades promoting the revitalisation of industry and the improvement of the competitiveness of its business fabric, as well as the creation of quality jobs in the industries of the future. Iberdrola's global growth has become a driving force for the internationalisation of hundreds of Basque companies, which have been demonstrating for years their ability to provide highly competitive and high quality products and services all over the world.
