Spain, Madrid: Iberdrola has reported record investments of €17 billion ($19.95 billion) in the last 12 months. In H1 2025, investments grew by 7% to €5.66 billion, with more than 60% in the United States and the United Kingdom. €2.15 billion was invested in renewables, with 40% allocated to offshore wind, mainly the East Anglia 2 and 3 (UK) and Vineyard Wind (USA) wind farms.
Net profit was €3.56 billion, while EBITDA reached €8.29 billion, supported by growth in the networks segment, especially following the integration of Electricity North West in the UK.
The company said its investments in networks will exceed €55 billion ($64.5 billion) in the next 6 years (+75%). Consequently, its network asset base is expected to exceed €90 billion ($105.6 billion) by 2031, compared to €30 billion in 2020.
75% of the network asset base will be from the USA and the UK, due to the new tariff frameworks in New York and Maine and due to the UK’s new regulatory framework for electricity transmission (RIIO-T3) and framework for distribution (ED2 and the future ED3).
The company also announced a €5 billion ($5.9 billion) capital increase intended to finance an “unprecedented” investment opportunity and to accelerate the strategy of growth in networks in the USA and the UK. The transaction is expected to accelerate the company’s strategy of growth in networks in countries with stable, predictable and incentivizing frameworks and with an A-rating.
Operating cash flow, asset rotation and partnership operations, and increased liquidity, combined with the transaction, will be sufficient to undertake the planned investments, to continue paying dividends in accordance with Iberdrola’s policy and to maintain the company’s current BBB+ rating. Iberdrola added that no further capital increases are expected until at least 2030.
