Meeting between the Chairman of Iberdrola Group, Ignacio Galán, and the Lehendakari, Imanol Pradales

The executive chairman of the Iberdrola Group, Ignacio Galán, met today with the Basque regional leader, or lehendakari, Imanol Pradales, at the Lehendakaritza in Vitoria Gasteiz.

 

During the meeting, Galán outlined the impacts of the company’s new strategic plan for the Basque Country. In particular, the new plan from the Iberdrola Group – which includes Iberdrola España – sets out a 50% increase in investments in the Basque Country, mainly in electricity networks, reaching €1.3 billion. The objective is to integrate new industrial and residential demand and continue strengthening the region’s leadership in digitalisation.

 

Taking into account purchases from hundreds of local companies, tax contributions, salaries and dividends to Basque shareholders, the total impact will reach €12 billion by 2028.

 

What’s more, the positive performance of the Iberdrola Group’s share price over the past year has increased the value of the savings held by the company’s 60,000 Basque shareholders by more than €2 billion, taking the total to over €7 billion.
