ATuAire, a subsidiary of Iberdrola España, and Carrier España have signed a strategic agreement to jointly develop electric heat pump projects across a range of sectors, including hotels, hospitals, industry, multi-residential housing, sports centres and other commercial buildings.

Electrification is a key solution to energy challenges, as it reduces dependence on fossil fuels, improves security of supply and supports national energy independence, while also enhancing economic efficiency. Through this partnership, ATuAire and Carrier España aim to accelerate the transformation of one of Spain’s largest remaining sources of energy consumption: heating in buildings and industry.

The agreement combines Carrier’s technological and innovation capabilities with ATuAire’s expertise in financing, end-to-end project management, Energy Saving Certificates (ESCs), access to public funding and the supply of 100% renewable, price-stable energy through Iberdrola Clientes, a company that is part of Iberdrola España.

Both companies have already been working together on a number of projects, including the replacement of fossil fuel boilers and the comprehensive refurbishment of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and domestic hot water systems.

“The electrification of heating represents one of the greatest energy and industrial opportunities facing Spain. This alliance demonstrates that manufacturers, engineering firms, installers and energy companies can work together to accelerate the deployment of electric heat pump solutions,” said Pablo Collado, Managing Director of ATuAire.

Ana M. García López, Managing Director of Carrier for Spain and Portugal, added: “Today’s market demands far more than equipment manufacturing. Customers are looking for integrated, intelligent climate and energy solutions, as well as support and reliability. This agreement enables us to combine our industrial and technical capabilities with tools that deliver immediate economic viability for projects. It is also fully aligned with our corporate purpose: ‘Enhancing the life we live and the world we share’.” This partnership comes at a particularly favourable time for electric heat pumps and aerothermal energy.

Regulatory momentum, public funding programmes such as Cambia 360, tax incentives introduced under Royal Decree-Law 7/2026, and mechanisms such as Energy Saving Certificates (ESCs)—which allow the monetisation of energy savings achieved through efficiency improvements—can reduce the initial investment required for heat pump installations by up to 80%. Heat pumps are a sustainable, high-efficiency climate control solution capable of delivering energy cost savings of up to 60%, facilitating broader adoption of this technology.
