[2.3] A successful consolidated business model

Iberdrola firmly believes that the transition to a carbon-neutral economy by 2050 is technologically possible, economically feasible and socially necessary. Decarbonisation of the economy is a tremendous opportunity to create wealth, generate employment and improve both the condition of the planet and people’s health. The group is therefore committed to leading the energy transition, a path it took 20 years ago and that has led it to invest €120,000 million since then, to which it will add a further €75,000 million between 2020 and 2025.
This commitment will be fulfilled by promoting:
