The Iberdrola group, through its subsidiary in the US, is participating in the development of macro-projects that will connect clean energy between different regions of the country. In this transformation, smart grids and storage solutions will play a key role in facilitating the penetration of renewables and the electrification of the economy.

Iberdrola maintains its firm footing in the renewable energy sector by leading the construction of Tâmega (Portugal), one of the largest energy storage facilities in Europe.

Iberdrola’s start-up programme - PERSEO - in collaboration with La Asociación Agraria de Jóvenes Agricultores (ASAJA) and WOLARIA, is looking for technological solutions that enable the decarbonisation and electrification of the agricultural and livestock sector.

Hyperion, a 3D printing company, and Sensohive, which makes sensors for monitoring concrete curing, are the winners of the Start-up Challenge, the contest launched to find solutions to optimise the construction of electricity transport facilities by boosting efficiency and process productivity.

A device that emulates a predator has been the winning solution of the Startup Challenge Bird Protection on Electricity Grids, which seeks to minimise the impact of power lines on the environment, especially on birdlife.

The company, which has experience in more than 50 research and development projects in Brazil, has been selected in the Public Lighting and Cabling Detection Startup Challenge thanks to its Imagery platform. The aim of this challenge was to find solutions to independently detect and validate unregistered public lighting and cabling.
