Iberdrola España and Renault Group sign a strategic agreement to promote electromobility and the energy transition
- Customers purchasing a 100% electric car from Renault Group (Renault, Dacia and Alpine) can benefit from up to 10,000 kilometres per year of free home charging for three years
- The memorandum, which was signed today by Mario Ruiz Tagle, CEO of Iberdrola España, and Josep María Recasens, President and CEO of Renault Group España, is the first of its kind between an energy company and a car manufacturer
Renault Group and Iberdrola España have today reaffirmed their relationship by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that establishes new strategic lines of collaboration between the two companies to drive the energy transition and electromobility in Spain.
The agreement includes pioneering decarbonisation and energy efficiency projects, the promotion of sustainable and accessible mobility with a unique offer for customers of both companies and the development of technologies and infrastructure for recharging points.
Thanks to this agreement, customers who purchase a 100% electric car from Renault Group (Renault, Dacia and Alpine) will be able to take advantage of up to 10,000 kilometres of free home charging per year for three years (30,000 in total), the installation of a Mobilize charger, competitive financing through Mobilize Financial Services and a 100% renewable home electricity contract with Iberdrola España.
In addition, to drive decarbonisation and energy efficiency in the value chain of Renault Group's Hybridisation Hub in Spain, the partnership between the two companies will promote technological innovations and advanced energy solutions, such as power purchase agreements (PPAs), renewable self-consumption, energy storage and electrification and green hydrogen for industrial processes.
Both companies will also collaborate in the development and deployment of Smart Charging technologies to optimise electric charging management, including feeding electricity from the vehicle to the grid or the ability to power the customer's home with the vehicle's power. Customers will be able to extend these benefits and reduce their energy bills through Iberdrola España's Advanced Smart Assistant (ASA), which promotes smart vehicle charging, adapting to the type of home and the characteristics of the electricity system.
Synergies will also be sought in recharging, both at Renault Group's facilities and for its customers, especially Mobilize, as well as the collaboration between the two companies in installing at-home recharging points for customers.
Iberdrola España, which has more than 10 M electricity contracts and is the leader in public and private recharging in Spain, and Renault Group, with 155,000 vehicles sold in the country last year, have signed the first agreement of this kind between an energy company and a car manufacturer in Spain.
At the signing ceremony held today at the Iberdrola España offices in Madrid, Josep María Recasens, President and CEO of Renault Group Iberia, said, ‘The automotive industry is facing multiple challenges simultaneously, and decarbonisation is one of the most relevant. The signing of this pioneering MOU between Iberdrola España and Renault Group marks a milestone in the energy transition and electromobility in Spain because we’re addressing the entire value chain: from decarbonisation of industrial processes to boosting sales, to charging infrastructure. From the manufacturer's perspective, we’re working to break down the barriers to entry for electric vehicles, optimising charging point infrastructure, improving the range and lowering the price of electric vehicles to make it the dominant technology on a large scale.
Mario Ruiz-Tagle, CEO of Iberdrola España, said, ‘Today's agreement is another step in a journey of close collaboration. Both companies have demonstrated our total commitment to the electrification of mobility, which is key to our energy autonomy and economic development. Together we have ensured that the electric vehicle has become a reality in the world’. Ruiz-Tagle added that ‘The solution offered by Iberdrola Spain and Renault Group to customers is different from others that can be found on the market because of its focus and response to customer needs, its simplicity and its innovation’.
Those attending Automobile Barcelona 2025, which will be held from 10 to 18 May in Barcelona, will have the opportunity to learn about this offer’s value proposition thanks to the customer journey that will be present at the Renault stand, located in Hall 8, and at the Iberdrola España stand, located in the Energy Zone.
Long-standing partnership
This agreement joins the PPA signed by Iberdrola España and Renault Group for the long-term supply and consumption of 282 MW of renewables at the carmaker's plants in Spain. Iberdrola España was recently recognised as the largest seller of PPAs in Europe for the second consecutive year according to the Pexapark Renewables Market Outlook 2025 report.
Last February, the two companies also signed a partnership agreement to promote the accessibility of electric vehicles to the public with an €800 discount on the purchase of any Renault Group brand car through the energy saving certificates.
