The University of Córdoba has formalised a contract with Iberdrola España for the supply of 100% renewable electricity to all its campuses and facilities. The agreement covers the delivery of approximately 33 GWh over the first two years, across 29 supply points, including both high- and low-voltage connections.

The agreement was signed today by the Rector of the University of Córdoba, Manuel Torralbo Rodríguez, and Iberdrola España’s Institutional Delegate in Andalusia, Antonio Fernández González. The contract has an initial duration of two years, with the possibility of extension up to a maximum of four years, and a base budget of €4,132,231.40 (excluding VAT) for the initial period.

The agreement also includes ongoing technical advisory services aimed at optimising energy consumption and billing, as well as access to a digital monitoring platform. This platform will enable real-time oversight of supply points, billing control and analysis of energy efficiency indicators. In addition, the successful bidder will manage the Energy Saving Certificates (CAE) derived from the efficiency measures already implemented by the University.

Antonio Fernández, Institutional Delegate of Iberdrola España in Andalusia, stated that “the collaboration with the University of Córdoba reflects Iberdrola España’s commitment to supporting Andalusian companies and public institutions in their transition towards 100% renewable energy, electrification, efficiency and the digitalisation of energy management, through comprehensive solutions designed to deliver more sustainable, efficient and competitive operations.”

The contract forms part of the University’s broader energy transition strategy. The Rector highlighted that the Office of the Vice-Rector for Sustainable Campus has been working for years on energy saving and efficiency initiatives, including the upgrading of HVAC systems in numerous buildings, installation of solar control films and improvements in thermal insulation. “These measures may not always be visible, but they have a significant impact on the well-being and comfort of the university community,” he noted. This agreement with Iberdrola España represents a further step in that direction, adding that “if it also enhances profitability and enables us to monetise the investments we have made in this area, particularly in partnership with a leading renewable energy company such as Iberdrola España, so much the better.”
