David Purón is CEO of Barbara, a start-up specialising in the security of smart, connected devices, with investment and support from Iberdrola through our PERSEO programme. Its industrial Edge AI solutions represent a step forward for smart electricity networks.

If the European continent is to secure its energy resilience and competitive edge by 2030, there is an urgent need for its energy transition to move beyond ambition to concrete action. What is also required is a modernised digital infrastructure, robust policy support and workforce transformation. That’s according to Agustín Delgado Martín, the Chief Technological Officer at the Iberdrola Group. The executive gave this interview ahead of the Enlit Europe 2025 forum in Bilbao, Spain, a pivotal event held from November 18 to 20 where energy leaders, experts and innovators such as Delgado discussed the future of the sector.

Green artificial intelligence has emerged as one of the main mitigation pathways that take into account the carbon footprint generated by conventional AI. Its goal is not only to minimise its own impact but also to maximise the usefulness of AI algorithms in the fight for sustainability. 

i-DE, Iberdrola’s electricity distribution company in Spain, is a global pioneer in implementing the full BIM workflow for the design and construction of power lines and substations.

Submarine power transmission cables are a key tool in the energy transition, as they enable the transport of large volumes of electricity efficiently and securely across seas and oceans. Thanks to their advanced technology and their role in integrating renewable energy sources, these types of cables are driving the development of a more sustainable and interconnected energy system. Discover how they work, how they are installed, their contribution to the energy transition and their potential applications in the future.
