On 17 January 2023, we announced the signing of a co-investment agreement with Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM) for the joint development of 1,265 MW of new renewable capacity in Spain: 20% wind and 80% photovoltaic. An alliance to promote decarbonisation through a portfolio of assets worth €1,225 million, of which Iberdrola will hold a majority stake of 51% and NBIM the remaining 49%, representing a direct investment of around €600 million.

This renewable portfolio, with 137 MW already operational and the rest under development, will have the capacity to supply clean energy to more than 700,000 homes each year with resources spread across different regions of the country.

On 31 May 2023 we communicated to the Spanish Securities Market Commission (CNMV) that we have all the legal requirements to carry out the transaction. In addition to the 1,265 MW of new renewable capacity, we are also working with Norges Bank Investment Management to expand this strategic alliance by more than 500 MW of renewable capacity on the Iberian Peninsula.

NBIM, which manages Norway's sovereign wealth fund, has been one of the Iberdrola Group's main investors for years and holds on average 1.4% of all listed companies worldwide and 2.5% of listed companies in Europe, making it a benchmark fund.
