Iberdrola continues to make progress with its investment strategy in the Iberian Peninsula, with the commissioning of the Algeruz II photovoltaic plant, the group's first facility of this type in Portugal. The plant has more than 50,500 fixed,...

The use of solar energy has grown exponentially in recent years thanks to technological advances in order to exploit the potential of clean energy. Bifacial solar panels have emerged as an alternative that can increase photovoltaic energy production by up to 30% of additional power thanks to the fact that both sides of the panel are able to absorb the sun's energy.

With more than a century of history, solar photovoltaics has become an exponentially growing renewable energy worldwide. According to the International Energy Agency, electricity generation capacity from renewables is expected to grow by 50% in 5 years, and more than half of this increase is due to the rise in the installation of solar photovoltaic panels. These have gone from powering the first satellites to becoming an increasingly common feature on our rooftops.

Iberdrola has put into operation the 'Francisco Pizarro' project in Extremadura, the largest photovoltaic plant in Europe and the largest facility of this type operated by the group in the world. Located between the municipalities of...

Iberdrola has closed a preliminary agreement for the acquisition of 98 megawatts (MW) of wind and solar projects in Poland with Augusta Energy sp. z o.o., a joint venture between Greenvolt subsidiary V-ridium Power Group and asset manager KGAL....
