Iberdrola and the World Bank extend their partnership with a 300 million green loan for renewable projects in emerging countries
Iberdrola receives new recognition from the World Bank, through its private sector investment arm – International Finance Corporation (IFC) –. The institution and the electricity company have signed a loan, linked to ESG criteria (environmental, social and corporate governance), of 300 million euros for renewable projects in countries that depend on fossil fuels, such as coal, including Morocco, Poland and Vietnam. 170 million euros of the agreed amount have already been committed to finance onshore wind energy projects in Poland. In addition, both institutions continue to analyse options for collaboration to support the development of new innovative clean energy projects in emerging countries, such as offshore wind and green hydrogen generation. The current loan is subject to meeting two strategic ESG targets for the group. The first goal is to reduce the company's absolute direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions by more than 60% by 2030 compared to the 2020 baseline, including Scopes 1, 2 and 3, from the company's operations, customers and supply chains. The second goal is to more than double Iberdrola's installed capacity by 2030, which at the end of the third quarter of 2023 exceeded 41,000 clean MW. The loan is part of the collaboration signed in May last year to promote energy transition in emerging countries. At that time, a green loan linked to sustainability targets of $150 million (approximately €136 million) was signed to finance digitalisation and energy efficiency improvements in the electricity distribution networks operated by Iberdrola's subsidiary in Brazil. Earlier, in 2022, IFC had already granted Neoenergia a loan for $115 million. José Sainz Armada, Iberdrola's Director of Finance, Control and Corporate Development, said: "This loan will allow Iberdrola to continue contributing to the energy transition, decarbonisation and electrification in developing countries – which are still highly dependent on fossil fuels. It also consolidates IFC as one of Iberdrola’s major allies in providing financing for renewable projects.” Alfonso Garcia Mora, IFC Vice President for Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean said: "This loan is a significant step in the global IFC-Iberdrola Energy Transition Partnership, which aims to support Iberdrola's expansion and re-entry into emerging markets that need to decarbonise their energy matrix". "We look forward to partnering with Iberdrola on projects that can accelerate a just and equitable transition to a low-carbon and sustainable energy future in developing and emerging markets." IFC, committed to emerging markets IFC, with an AAA credit rating, is the World Bank Group's private sector lending arm in more than 100 emerging countries, to enable them to improve their own private sectors by investing in companies through loans, equity and guarantees. The goal is to mobilise capital from other investors, and to advise companies and governments to stimulate private investment. Last year, the institution made an investment record amount of $43.7 billion (40 billion euros) to private companies and financial institutions in developing countries. IFC empowers the private sector to end poverty and boost shared prosperity as economies grapple with the impacts of crises. Iberdrola, leader in sustainable finance Iberdrola is a leader in green finance. Last December, Europe's leading electricity company and the world's second largest by stock market value signed its largest ever credit line for €5.3 billion with 33 banks at similar prices to those agreed in 2019 and with a cost linked to the fulfilment of a series of ESG objectives. IFC's relationship with Iberdrola dates back to 1998 with financing for Iberdrola's subsidiaries in Bolivia. Iberdrola has established itself as a global benchmark in sustainable financing, being the first private group in the world to issue green bonds – after becoming the first Spanish company to issue a bond of these characteristics in 2014. The group currently has almost 20,000 million euros of outstanding green bonds.

We increase our interim dividend by 12.2% and will pay 0.202 euros per share.
Iberdrola's interim dividend corresponding to the fiscal year 2023 will amount to €0.202 gross per share, as reported today to the Spanish National Securities Market Commission (CNMV). Investors opting for the cash dividend will receive the corresponding amount on 31 January. The company once again offers its shareholders three options in this edition of Iberdrola Retribución Flexible : to receive the interim dividend in cash –the aforementioned €0.202 gross per share–; to sell their allocation rights on the market; or to obtain new bonus shares in the group free of charge. This interim dividend corresponding to the fiscal year 2023 will be completed with the final dividend that the company expects to pay in July, if approved by the company's General Shareholders' Meeting. Shareholders who opt for the option to receive new shares must hold 58 free allocation rights in order to receive a new share in the company. The three options –to receive the interim dividend in cash, to sell the rights in the market, or to receive new Iberdrola shares– are combinable, so the shareholder could choose one of the alternatives or combine them according to his or her preferences. The Iberdrola Retribución Flexible system assigns by default the option to receive new shares, so those shareholders who prefer to receive their remuneration in cash must notify their bank between 9 and 23 January. In order to implement this new edition of the remuneration system, a capital increase with a maximum reference market value of 1.3 billion euros will be carried out. Calendar of the ‘Iberdrola Retribución Flexible’ programme January 2024 5 January 2024 Notification of the number of free allocation rights required to receive one share and the amount of the gross Interim Dividend per share. 8 January 2024 Last day on which shares are traded with the right to participate in the dividend. 9 January 2024 Start of the election and trading period on the stock market for the free-of-charge allocation rights. 23 January 2024 End of the election and trading period on the stock market for free-of-charge allocation rights. 31 January 2024 Delivery of shares/payment of interim dividend. 2 February 2024 Expected date for the start of trading in the new shares.

Macroeconomic uncertainties will not halt progress on the energy transition in 2024 and beyond.
COP28 will be remembered as the summit that snatched a remarkable victory from the jaws of defeat. For the first time, the world has new agreed language on transitioning away from all fossil fuels, and more than 110 countries have agreed to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030. The new commitments brokered by its president, Dr. Sultan al Jaber, were made possible by months of intense preparation and climate change diplomacy in the run-up to the summit, and constitute a pivotal moment in the fight against the climate crisis. An obvious question I was asked several times at COP, and one that is top of mind for many people, is whether these ambitious goals are feasible, especially against a backdrop of macroeconomic uncertainties. Given that delivering on the targets needs to start today, the question of feasibility is valid, bearing in mind the sheer scale of investment required to transition away from fossil fuels towards green energy. But I believe emphatically that in the next six years, the goals are achievable. Costs and benefits are shifting In 2023 global investment in clean energy reached a record $1.75 trillion, according to the IEA , and this trend is expected to continue to be driven by the need for additional energy sources to support economic growth. If you want to build new electricity capacity, renewables are better value than any other generation technology in terms of costs, security, risks, and environmental benefits. New versus new, it’s not even a close call. And by substituting aging and polluting fossil-based generation for renewables, many developed countries, such as those in the EU, are improving the balance of payments by reducing their vast energy imports. The industry has already shown it can meet ambitious targets. When the EU launched the 20/20/20 initiative in 2010, few believed we could disrupt the status quo in a meaningful way to cut emissions by 20% and increase the amount of green energy in the system to current levels. We have proved that change is possible. The challenge of high interest rates Cost inflation has affected renewables, as it has all other industrial sectors. Some recent auctions for renewable energy projects–such as the recent AR5 auction in the U.K. –did not recognize this fact. And in other instances, there were long lead times between auctions concluding and the time investments were made. This has created pain points, especially for companies that did not have the chance to hedge their costs. However, policymakers are already responding, recognizing that renewables remain the best way to secure new electricity capacity, and new auction designs and mechanisms are being put in place. The newly announced AR6 offshore wind turbine auction in the U.K. is a clear example. By setting a realistic maximum price, which allows for increases in supply chain costs and lending rates, companies will have the right incentive to bid and compete. This has been the basis for the massive cost reductions experienced in the renewables sector over decades. Of course, delivering on the goals set at COP28 will not be easy, nor will it happen by inertia. But rather than macroeconomic issues or lack of ambition, progress rests on urgent action to address the barriers that have held us back in the past. This includes ensuring stable, positive frameworks for investments, simplifying permitting processes, implementing a truly “green” tax system, bolstering global supply chains to ensure they are robust and secure, investing in green skills to drive the energy transition forward, and promoting the consumption of green products. The transformation may appear massive–but it is already under way. As we embark on a new year, fresh from a “COP for action” that has forged a global alliance for change, we are in the best position ever to deliver a real revolution in energy. * This article originally appeared on Fortune.com

Iberdrola starts commissioning Vineyard Wind I, the largest offshore wind farm in the U.S.
Iberdrola has started to commission the Vineyard Wind I offshore wind farm – the first large-scale project of this technology in the United States. The facility, with 806 MW of capacity, has already begun to supply green energy to Massachusetts, a state that will be supplied with wind energy to more than 400,000 homes – that’s the equivalent of more than half the size of a city like Boston or the entire island of Palma de Mallorca. The Vineyard Wind I project –which is expected to have five turbines operating at full capacity by the beginning of the year– has had 3 billion dollars in investment (more than 2.7 billion euros at the current exchange rate) secured through contracts with the state's three main electric utilities. The wind farm began construction in 2021 and will be fully operational in 2024. By this time, it will prevent the emission of more than 1.6 million tonnes of CO2 per year, the equivalent of removing 325,000 vehicles from the road. Each of the turbines –whose transition pieces have been manufactured in Avilés by the Asturian company Windar Renovables– is capable of providing energy to more than 6,000 homes and businesses. Each of these turbines comprises a tower, three blades, and a nacelle, and they have a rated capacity of 13 megawatts (MW), making it the largest turbine in the Western world. A single rotation generates energy for a home in Massachusetts for an entire day. Pedro Azagra, the CEO of Avangrid, Iberdrola's subsidiary in the United States, stated: "We are finally supplying clean offshore wind energy to the Massachusetts grid. We are at a turning point for climate action in the United States, and we are witnessing a dawning for the nation's offshore wind industry. As the capacity of this historic project gets started, we will continue to support all of the partners who made this achievement possible". Last October, Avangrid and the Danish investment group Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), co-owner of the project, announced that Vineyard Wind I project closed $1.2 billion (approximately 1.135 billion euros) first-of-its-kind tax equity package for commercial-scale offshore wind with three US-based banks. A large chain of suppliers The Spanish company Windar Renovables has been in charge of manufacturing the 62 foundations for the wind turbines. The contract – worth nearly 100 million euros – has created around 400 jobs at its facilities in Asturias. The Italian Prysmian Group was responsible for the commissioning of the submarine cabling system that will connect the offshore wind farm with the Continental US power transmission grid. The project required more than 134 kilometres of high-voltage alternating current electric cable. The U.S. company Southwire was responsible for the design, manufacture and installation of more than 51 kilometres of high-voltage overland cable. In July 2023, the installation of the offshore substation, which will serve the entire Vineyard Wind I project, was completed. It is the first substation of its kind installed by Iberdrola in the United States and the sixth in the world, weighing more than 5,000 tonnes, making it the largest the company has ever installed. Leader in offshore wind energy Within Iberdrola's renewable portfolio, offshore wind energy is an important technology. The company has committed to new growth platforms with great potential, such as Poland, Sweden, Ireland, the United States, Brazil, the Philippines, and Japan – which has enabled our offshore wind portfolio to currently exceed 30 GW. In this way, the company ensures compliance with the plan to 2025, when it will reach 3,100 MW in operation. Besides Vineyard Wind I, among the company’s most important projects, the East Anglia Hub complex stands out in the United Kingdom, which contains three projects with a total installed capacity of 2,900 MW; as well as Saint-Brieuc in France, and its three wind farms in the Baltic Sea: Wikinger , Baltic Eagle , and Windanker .

Iberdrola USA workers restore supply in Maine after historic storm
More than 1,500 teams of employees, including those from subsidiaries of Avangrid - Iberdrola's subsidiary in the United States - from Central Maine Power, New York Gas and Electric and United Illuminating, have worked in extreme conditions to restore electricity supply in the wake of the severe storm in the state of Maine. Millions of people in the United States have been affected by severe storms over the past week that have caused power outages in several states. One of the affected areas was the state of Maine, where Iberdrola's US subsidiary Avangrid operates. There, the historic storm affected more than 420,000 customers and left around 355,000 without power, knocked down more than 1,100 poles and damaged several transmission lines. In addition, many roads were blocked due to the effects of the storm, which has felled more than 3,000 trees. Avangrid workers worked around the clock alongside hundreds of crews in Maine who have been working around the clock in critical conditions to restore power to customers on Christmas Eve. Avangrid aims to be the leading sustainable energy company in the United States. Headquartered in Orange, Connecticut, with some $41 billion in assets, a workforce of 7,600 people and operations in 24 US states, Iberdrola's US subsidiary has two main business lines: Avangrid Networks and Avangrid Renewables. Avangrid Networks owns and operates eight electricity and natural gas utilities serving more than 3.3 million customers. Avangrid Renewables owns and operates a portfolio of renewable energy generation facilities across the United States. More information about this news can be found in the Avangrid Newsroom.

Iberdrola to install Spain's first hybrid hydroelectric and solar plant
Iberdrola has obtained environmental approval for Spain's first hybrid photovoltaic and hydroelectric plant with the publication of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in the Official State Gazette (BOE). HIDRO Cedillo, as the project is called, will have a capacity of 86.4 megawatts (MW) with more than 160,000 photovoltaic modules and a fixed structure, located in Extremadura, in the municipality of Cedillo. Hybridisation allows optimising the use of the grid and minimising the environmental impact of projects in the locations where they are located. By having two technologies capable of alternating, dependence on changing environmental conditions and limitations due to possible lack of resources such as wind or sunshine is significantly reduced, facilitating more stable and efficient renewable production. If you would like to read the full story, you can do so in the Iberdrola España's Communication Room.

Iberdrola signs its largest ever credit line for €5.3 billion with 33 banks
Iberdrola continues to strengthen its liquidity position, confirming today that it has refinanced €5.3 billion by signing its largest ever credit facility. The agreement, signed with 33 international banks, also helps to consolidate its leadership in sustainable financing, with the conditions of the facility linked to of a series of ESG objectives. The operation has been completed at competitive rates, similar to those agreed by Iberdrola in 2019. The transaction was oversubscribed by more than 40%, demonstrating the banking world’s strong confidence in the strategy and solvency of Europe’s largest electricity utility by market capitalization, and the second largest in the world. Ignacio Galán, Executive Chairman of Iberdrola, said: "This credit line is yet another example of the financial community's strong confidence in our strategy, based on value creation through investment in the energy transition and financial discipline. The transaction also enhances our commitment to our ESG goals." With an initial duration of 5 years, the multi-currency credit facility has an option to extend for two additional years. The agreement strengthens Iberdrola’s commitment to maintain optimal liquidity, which stood at €20.2 billion at the end of the third quarter. The rates agreed as part of the credit facility are subject to the fulfilment of two strategic ESG objectives for the group. Firstly, the reduction of carbon equivalent emissions under scopes 1, 2 and 3. Including scope 3 emissions reduction, which is not typical in this type of transaction, highlights Iberdrola’s continuing leadership in energy decarbonisation. The second ESG objective focuses on increasing the percentage of women occupying relevant leadership positions in the company. The rates agreed for the credit facility can be adjusted up or down annually according to the delivery of objectives. In total, 96% of the Iberdrola’s credit lines are sustainability-focused, contributing towards the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) . As well as contributing to goals 7 (clean and accessible energy) and 13 (fight against climate change), the new operation broadens Iberdrola’s objectives to also include goal 5 (gender equality and empowerment, empowerment of women and girls). BBVA acted as global coordinator and agent bank. The sustainability coordinators were BBVA, Santander and Credit Agricole. Global leader in sustainable and green financing Iberdrola has established itself as a global benchmark in sustainable finance. The company was the first Spanish group to issue green bonds in 2014 and is now the world's leading private issuer of green bonds. The group currently has almost €20 billion of outstanding green bonds. Iberdrola agreed its first green loan in 2016 for €500 million, before focusing its strategy for loans and credit lines to be aligned with sustainability objectives. This financial strategy (ESG + F) strengthens Iberdrola’s record €47 billion investment plan announced in November 2022, for the period 2023 through 2025. The plan aims to boost the decarbonisation of the economy and the move away from fossil fuels, with a strong commitment to smarter electricity grids and renewables. Iberdrola will update this plan in March 2024 at its next Capital Markets Day.
