Our innovation model

Iberdrola is accelerating its commitment to the development of a green economy in Asturias, which is set to become a major hub for industrialisation and employment, promoting new investments in renewables and more contracts awarded to the local industrial fabric related to sectors of the future.

Alteria Automation's technological solution has won the Start-up Challenge: wireless sensors in transformer substations. Its advanced sensor system will maximise the safety of our transformer substations in Spain in the event of any incident.

International electricity markets are undergoing regulatory changes in response to the technological and social advances brought about by the global challenge of decarbonising the energy model while maintaining a sustainable and effective supply.

Iberdrola's Global Smart Grids Innovation Hub, located in Bilbao, is consolidating its position as a global centre of innovation and knowledge in smart grids to help respond to the challenges of the energy transition. The centre acts as a driving force for innovation, combining Iberdrola's technological capacity with that of more than 100 collaborating entities and companies.

Innovation is a strategic variable for the Iberdrola Group and is our main tool for guaranteeing the sustainability, efficiency and competitiveness of the company.

Iberdrola, through its PERSEO start-up programme, seeks to reduce costs, time and risks for its employees by automating various maintenance inspection processes using unmanned aerial vehicles (drones).
