El proyecto HOREX –acrónimo de Hormigones Expansivos– nace de Iberdrola de investigar el fenómeno de la expansión química del hormigón, que era casi desconocido, propio del material y que supone un gran desafío para las presas a nivel mundial debido a las dificultades a la hora de controlarlo, ya que puede afectar la funcionalidad para las que fueron diseñadas y construidas las presas no solo durante el mantenimiento de las estructuras sino también en su construcción.
Iberdrola Innovation Middle East is a world-leading innovation centre –located in Qatar Science & Technology Park– that aims at defining 'the digital utility', developing innovative digital solutions for renewable energy integration, smart grids and energy efficiency and conservation.

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.
