2024 General Shareholders' Meeting Participation Portal
Key information about the Participation Portal
The General Shareholders' Meeting of Iberdrola was held in hybrid form and on first call, on Friday 28 April 2023, with attendance in person at the registered office (Bilbao, plaza Euskadi, 5) and telematic attendance at first call.
What credentials/information are needed to access the portal?
Individual shareholders can authenticate themselves with their OLS Shareholders’ Club password and total number of shares (both as owner and co-owner), using either a recognised electronic certificate issued by the Royal Spanish Mint (FNMT), or their DNIe.
Furthermore, shareholders who are members of the OLS – Shareholders’ Club, or whose shares are held at deposited with entities that provide Iberdrola with the e-mail address of their customers, may also authenticate themselves by entering the QR code included in the proxy and absentee voting card that Iberdrola will send them by e-mail. See demo video.
Shareholders who are legal persons must authenticate themselves with a recognised electronic signature issued by the Royal Spanish Mint. Representatives of legal entities without a recognised electronic signature may grant a proxy or cast an absentee vote through the Participation Portal by submitting an image of the proxy and absentee voting card and by authenticating their powers to attend the General Meeting by submitting a scanned copy of the card and their power of attorney. If they register as members of OLS – Shareholders’ Club, they may also authenticate themselves by entering the QR code or the password below the QR code included in the proxy and absentee voting card that Iberdrola will send to the Club members for this General Meeting.
Finally, proxy representatives can log in to the Participation Portal
Enlace externo, se abre en ventana nueva. and send us a scanned copy of the card signed by the shareholder they represent to verify that they have been granted their proxy. Once verified, the proxy representatives will receive a proxy code with which they can be authenticated.

What else does the Participation Portal offer?
Proof of participation
All shareholders taking part in the General Meeting (by granting a proxy, casting an absentee vote or attending) can download a receipt to confirm that their shares or voting instructions have been properly recorded. They can make this request from the date on which their participation in the General Meeting is recorded in the Company’s systems until one month after the meeting is held.
In addition, if they take part through the Participation Portal, their proxy or electronic vote will be securely recorded and verifiable through blockchain technology, which ensures the traceability and immutability of the data recorded. Each vote and electronic proxy is immutably stored and encrypted on the blockchain network, thus ensuring its confidentiality. Read more about blockchain at the 2024 Meeting.
Proxies and absentee votes will be counted subject to verification by the Company of the number of shares registered in the holder’s name five days prior to the General Meeting.
Download cards
In case of not receiving the card, or in case of loss, we offer other alternatives to participate in the General Meeting. If preferred, we provide the option to download a card from the Participation Portal.
Cards issued through this website reflect the shares registered in the name of the applicant in accordance with information available to the Company on the date of the request.
