Castilla and León: Iberdrola España contributes more than €940M
Iberdrola España reaffirmed its commitment to Castilla and León with a total economic impact of €940M in 2024. The company has consolidated its position as one of the companies that contributes the most fiscally in the region. Its tax contribution has increased by 16.5% in 2024, to over €268M.
Iberdrola España has also made purchases from more than 400 suppliers in Castilla and León worth €223M. The company's main suppliers in the region include companies such as Copsa, Kepler, Transformadores Gedelsa, AOC, REBI, Surya and Tecinsa.
Iberdrola España reaffirms its innovative and renewable leadership in Castilla and León, which is consolidating its position as an important centre for clean energy developments in the company's investment cycle to 2025, where it already operates more than 6,000 megawatts (MW), making it the autonomous community with the most 'green' megawatts installed by the company. It also promotes renewable energies as a driver for rural development and in this way the small towns emerge as a guarantee for the future, contributing to a sustainable recovery and creating local jobs.
The company is currently building the Iglesias wind farm and has recently commissioned Buniel (104 MW), Iberdrola España's most powerful wind farm to date. Its blades are more than 70 metres long and the height of the wind turbines is twice that of the Burgos Cathedral, it generates enough clean energy to supply the equivalent of 70,000 homes a year and will prevent the release of 39,000 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere per year. Each machine has a unit power of 5.2 MW, more than seven times that of the first wind turbines installed in our country more than two decades ago. In the province of Burgos alone, the company has recently built or is building more than 650 megawatts between eight wind farms.
Iberdrola España is currently commissioning two photovoltaic facilities in the region totalling 400 MW: Velilla and Virgen de Areños III. It also started up its first photovoltaic plant in the province of Burgos in the region, Revilla-Vallejera (50 MW), and has completed construction of the first hybrid wind and solar photovoltaic plant in Spain. In addition, the Villarino photovoltaic plant (50 MW) in Salamanca is now fully operational and, after obtaining the environmental green light, the construction of the Ciudad Rodrigo photovoltaic project is progressing at a good pace.
A sustainable energy model
The company has implemented the Convive Programme, which includes a multitude of measures to ensure that renewable installations are fully compatible with biodiversity, agriculture, livestock farming and even beekeeping. Some photovoltaic installations have become real biodiversity refuges, which have even allowed endangered species to find a suitable space to live (e.g. free of pesticides and disturbances).
In addition, at the recently recognised plant in Burgos, Revilla Vallejera, 600 sheep graze daily on the grounds of the facility, a great example of the coexistence of renewables, nature and the local economy. "Solar grazing" benefits the livestock farmers, who gain new spaces for their activity, is good for the plant, as it ensures the ecological maintenance of the land and reduces the risk of fires, and it benefits the animals who, in addition to access to food, find protection from the sun, rain and wind under the solar panels.
Electricity grids in Castilla and León
In Castilla and León, i-DE once again closed last year with the best values for electricity supply quality. The company manages more than 50,000 kilometres of power lines and has 15,754 transformer stations in service and 249 substations.
More than 45 social initiatives in Castilla and León
Iberdrola España Foundation has reached out to Castilian and Leonese society through the different programmes it runs: its inclusive training programmes, promotion of art and culture and the various restorations and illuminations, such as the outside of the Cathedral of Ávila, the inside of the Cathedral of Palencia and the New Cathedral of Salamanca, the Palencia church of San Hipólito el Real and the quadruple lock of the Canal de Castilla, and the lines of charity and cooperation work thanks to its Social and Biodiversity Programme, areas to which it is firmly committed.
Over the last decade, the foundation has organised more than 45 social initiatives in Castilla and León. The four entities selected in 2024 were: Cáritas Diocesana de Zamora, Fundación Alcándara (Proyecto Hombre Salamanca), Fundación ADSIS and Fundación Aldaba (Proyecto Hombre), the latter two from Valladolid.
The Atlantic Romanesque Plan is worth highlighting. This is an example of institutional cooperation and public–private participation which, in addition to focusing on the restoration and recovery of monuments in Zamora, Salamanca and Portugal, aims to enhance the value of an entire area, promoting a sustainable, smart vision and constant management of our heritage.
Ricobayo, Iberdrola España's new beacon of talent
The facilities that have housed Iberdrola España's Hydraulics Laboratory for decades, a world benchmark in the field of engineering next to the Ricobayo dam, Zamora, have been transformed into a pioneering project: an innovation and training centre through which at least 1,000 future professionals from all corners of Spain will pass every year.
In addition, together with the Rei Afonso Henriques Foundation, they are training young people from schools in Zamora on the risks of climate change.
Electric mobility and self-consumption
Iberdrola España has now reached 830 public charging points for electric vehicles in Castilla and León, which strengthens its position as the most extensive public charging network in the region. Of the 830 points in operation in all provinces of the region, approximately 30% are fast, super-fast and ultra-fast charging points, which means that they are capable of charging 200 kilometres of autonomy in 5 to 40 minutes, allowing any trip you make to run on the Iberdrola | bp pulse partnership.
Moreover, over the past year, the company has promoted pioneering solar communities with 12,500 families already enjoying solar energy without installations on their homes.
The Hermanas Hospitalarias centre in Palencia will be the first customer to be connected to the renewable heat network that Iberdrola España is developing in this city, but, in addition, there are already new agreements signed with other customers and others being negotiated that will be hooked up to this sustainable heat network.

Asturias: Iberdrola España contributes more than €500M
Iberdrola España generated an economic impact in Asturias of more than €500M in 2024. The company consolidated its position as one of the companies that contributes most to taxation in the region. Its tax contribution increased by 37.7% in 2024, to over €81M.
In addition, Iberdrola España made purchases from around 80 Asturian suppliers worth €403M. Among the company's main suppliers in the region are companies such as Windar Renovables, Proyecto Windanker Navantia, Fire Control Project System S.L. and TENSA S.A.
Iberdrola España's commitment to the Asturian mining area, and linked to the land of the former Lada Thermal Power Station, is well-known.
Iberdrola España has ratified the agreement that will enable the electrification of Bayer's production plant in La Felguera, Asturias, which represents one of the most important projects for the industrial decarbonisation of the Asturian mining area. Iberdrola España will install an innovative thermal storage system, designed by the Spanish company Inerco, next to Bayer's plant and will transform 100% renewable electricity from an adjacent self-consumption facility and its various renewable plants into the steam Bayer needs to run its business. This is the first heat purchase agreement (HPA) of its kind in Spain.
The project, which has been a beneficiary of the Strategic Projects for Economic Recovery and Transformation for industrial decarbonisation out of the Ministry of Industry and which has the support of the Institute for Energy Diversification and Savings in the line of New Business Models, has a budget of €17M and expects to complete its development by June 2026.
This technology will allow Bayer to decarbonise its plant while reducing the impact of fossil fuel volatility on its business. In addition, this commitment will reduce CO2 emissions and pollution, increasing the consumption of local renewable energy and contributing to the improvement of the trade balance. The project makes it possible to take advantage of Spain's renewable generation potential and increase industrial competitiveness.
Iberdrola España's 'Lada Plan' for the former Thermal Power Station
Iberdrola España began tearing down the unprotected buildings that are part the former Lada power plant a year ago. In total, there are 24 buildings. The demolition will free up valuable land for future economic development projects for the region of Langreo and also for the Principality of Asturias. The land of the former Lada Thermal Power Station, due to its privileged location, opens the way to the development of business initiatives in the area and will create jobs and help develop the region.
The company recently completed the demolition of the chimney of the old Lada Thermal Power Plant in Asturias. Due to its proximity to the town, and to limit noise and problems for the residents of Langreo, it couldn’t be demolished with explosives. The entire shaft had to be taken down and the demolition had to be done in a controlled manner using robots.
The Regional Ministry of Health of the Principality and Iberdrola España have signed a partnership protocol aimed at recovering Nitrastur’s land, at the former Lada thermal power plant, in the area of Langreo, to locate the future Asturian community health logistics platform, which will house the centralised laundry services of the entire public health network and the homes for the elderly.
Iberdrola España and the Asturian town council of Langreo have signed an urban development agreement on the use of the banks of the Nalón river at the former Lada thermal power plant. The agreement envisages Iberdrola's partnership with the Langreo town council for the recovery of the banks of the Nalón river, favouring the green transition and preventing flooding. It will help to mitigate possible flooding of the Asturian river.
One of the company’s commitments is to draw up the Special Plan for the development of the land of the former Lada Thermal Power Plant, whose paperwork is already being processed by the authorities. Iberdrola also cedes a total of 6.3 hectares of land to the City Council. The transfer will be formalised by public deed.
A sustainable energy model in Asturias
The company launched the Convive Programme in Asturias, which includes a multitude of measures to ensure that renewable installations are fully compatible with biodiversity, agriculture, livestock farming and even beekeeping. For example, some photovoltaic installations have become real biodiversity refuges, which have even allowed endangered species to find a suitable space to live (e.g. free of pesticides and disturbances).
Four wind farms – 129 MW – were also built, most of whose construction and civil works were carried out by Asturian companies, such as Hormavasa and Horvalsa, Canteras Rencanos, Deymet, Excade, Posada, Méndez y Mota, Grúas Roxu and Taxus. The wind turbine towers were built at Windar's facilities. This industrial activity has helped revitalise the local economy, creating up to 1,000 direct and indirect jobs.
Iberdrola España relies on Asturian suppliers for numerous jobs related to green projects and decarbonisation, such as grid management, environmental protection and monitoring, substation construction, generator repair and maintenance of hydroelectric plants.

The El Escudo wind farm has been given the green light to continue with the preliminary construction work for the installation of the renewable infrastructure, after the developer Biocantaber – in which Iberdrola has a stake – received the administrative authorisation for construction.
The facility, currently under construction, will have a capacity of 101 MW, generate renewable energy equivalent to the annual consumption of 95,300 households and prevent the emission of 45,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.
It is the first park in Spain to apply BIM (Building Information Modelling) technology, a methodology that allows detailed control of the execution of the works and, among other aspects, the application of measures to reduce impact. This digital model is being developed by the Cantabrian company INGECID, linked to the Santander School of Civil Engineering.
The project involves an investment of €120M, and a significant part of the construction budget is committed to local companies and will create up to 200 jobs during peak periods. The wind farm activates a long value chain between local companies in various fields such as civil works, electrical engineering, logistics, maintenance, security and telecommunications, as well as professionals who are responsible for supervising the work to avoid any impact on nature or our cultural heritage.
Likewise, the company has been fulfilling its support measures for the local community since before the works began. In this respect, for the second year running, the company has paid for English classes and tutoring for the children of Campoo de Yuso.
