A business model that adds value
More than 20 years ago now, Iberdrola was already a pioneer thanks to its commitment to renewable energies as a foundation for building a clean, reliable and intelligent business model. The transition toward a carbon-neutral economy before 2050 is technologically feasible, economically viable and socially necessary, and we have committed to reaching Net Zero status with all of our activities before 2040.
In this process, decarbonisation is the path to creating autonomy, wealth and employment, improving the health of the planet, and protecting people’s health. That is why we are committed to leading the energy transition through our daily activities, with renewable-energy installations, smart grids, energy storage and the best range of solutions for our customers. Our strategy is built around three key ideas:
A unique combination of businesses and locations
We are currently global leaders in renewable energy, particularly in offshore wind power. In the field of networks, we contribute significantly more (10 percentage points higher) than our European Union competitors. What’s more, through our subsidiaries and associated companies, we operate in dozens of countries, primarily Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, Brazil and Mexico. We carefully consider the stability of the regulatory environment: more than 82% of the countries where we operate have an A credit rating. We also maintain a balance in supply, with approximately 85% of our 2024-2026 production already sold with guaranteed margins.
Financial Strength and robust dividend policy
Our business model is aligned with our strong financial foundations, prioritising cash recovery as a key investment criterion. This is supported by fixed-rate financing, long-term debt maturities, active liquidity management, currency hedging and broad diversification, maximising the use of green financing instruments. Our partnership model adds stability and long-term value. What’s more, we maintain a stable dividend policy, guaranteeing a secure and growing minimum dividend in line with the company's increasing results.
Business-integrated sustainability and shared value
At Iberdrola, we conduct our activities with the aim of creating sustainable value for all our stakeholders and contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – what we call our social dividend. To achieve this Purpose, the Iberdrola Group has condensed the values of the Group companies into the following concepts: Sustainable energy, to create value; Integrating strength, to multiply talent; and Dynamic drive, to evolve without pause.

High returns for our shareholders
The strength of our business model and our excellent results have a positive impact on our shareholders’ returns. For years at Iberdrola, we have been committed to strengthening dialogue with our investors and ensuring their maximum involvement in the company’s most important decisions. The data confirm that this commitment has had positive results:
Iberdrola is Europe's largest utility company by market cap and one of the two largest in the world. As at August 20, 2025, the market capitalisation exceeded €110 billion.
Iberdrola’s share price rose from €3.50 in 2001 to exceed €16.50 by August 2025, and paid out more than €7 per share in dividends.
Iberdrola’s shares have delivered a total return of 264% over the past 10 years, quadrupling that of Spain's benchmark stock market index, the IBEX 35.
"Our significant investments, geographic diversification, financial strength and the best team possible are the foundations for continuing our path of growth in results and dividends."

Executive Chairman of Iberdrola
The market opportunity: trends and our Strategic Plan
At Iberdrola, we are working to build an efficient, sustainable and accessible energy model, placing the well-being of people and the preservation of the planet at the core of our activity. To achieve this and to anticipate this future context, we have strengthened our commitments with a record Strategic Plan involving €41 billion in investment between 2024 and 2026. This will be allocated to promoting electrification, developing new sources of electricity demand and optimising our customer portfolio.
The next Capital Markets Day, where we will update our investment outlook, will be held on 24 September 2025.
Electrification with clean energy
More than half of our investment in renewables (€15.5 billion) will be focused on offshore wind construction projects. This is followed by onshore wind (28%) and solar (28%).
Boosting smart grids
We will devote 60% of net investment to 2026 (€21.5 billion) to networks in the US, the UK, Brazil and Spain. More than €6.5 billion of that will be allocated to transmission lines.
Storage development
We will allocate €1.5 billion to storage by 2026, enabling us to achieve a capacity of 120 million kWh through pumped storage hydropower.

A roadmap in line with our sustainability commitments
Our Strategic Plan 2024–2026 also contributes to this goal of generating a positive impact on people's well-being and respect for the planet, in line with sustainability factors. Here are some of our most important goals:
Boosting electricity as a clean, autonomous, local, stable, safe and competitive source of energy
Protecting nature and fostering an efficient use of resources
Working to ensure a sustainable value chain
Keeping our culture of ethics, transparency and good governance
Strengthening human and social capital
Driving innovation for a more sustainable future
Technological development can provide new and better solutions that facilitate the economy’s decarbonisation and, therefore, the energy transition. For this reason, at Iberdrola we have established ourselves as the private energy company that invests the most in R&D&I in the world, and innovation has an impact on all the businesses and activities that we do every day.
To continue to lead this drive, we will allocate close to €400 million a year to innovation and digitisation as set out in our Strategic Plan and we will continue to support start-ups, universities and research centres around the world. Our main objectives are to:
Automate 85% of our high- and medium-voltage networks.
Lead green hydrogen production to 5 kilotonnes of H2 a year.
Maintain 2,000 external cybersecurity assessments or verifications a year.
