Iberdrola's 37-MW Solar Duo Powers Thousands in Portugal
Iberdrola has commissioned two solar plants, Montechoro I and Montechoro II, with a total capacity of 37 MW in southern Portugal. The investment for these plants amounted to EUR 30 million. The duo is equipped with over 64,554 bifacial panels and is expected to generate 56.84 GWh of green energy annually, enough to power 19,000 households.The completion of these plants marks a significant step towards decarbonizing the economy and increasing renewable energy production in Portugal. Iberdrola currently has 1,435 MW of operational assets in Portugal, including the Tamega Pumped Hydro Complex, which is set to be integrated into a wind farm to create the largest hybrid project in the country. What is the total capacity and investment for Iberdrola's new solar plants in Portugal?

Iberdrola to build Spain's very first wind, solar hybrid
Iberdrola is building what it states is the first hybrid wind as well as solar complex in Spain, in the province of Burgos. The company is creating 2 photovoltaic or pv (PV) plants of 41MW and also 33MW respectively, which will have greater than 170,000 modules and will be situated in the Burgos districts of Revilla Vallejera, Villamedianilla and Vallejera. They will enable the hybridisation of the existing 69MW BaCa - Ballestas as well as Casetona - wind ranch. The initiative will add to the advancement of neighborhood economy in Castille as well as León with peak building and construction including 360 jobs. The company has alloted more than EUR40m to the construction of the project. Wind and also solar hybridisation makes it possible to optimize using the grid while reducing the ecological impact of the projects. Iberdrola will purchase this technology over the coming years in Spain, with which it aims to boost its renewable resources and also maximize existing places. The unification of solar modules will certainly boost the performance of existing wind facilities, Iberdrola claimed. It will certainly contribute clean, affordable and competitive energy to the power system by assuring the maximum supply of green power originally authorised for each and every project, for as long as possible. By having two modern technologies capable of rotating, dependancy on altering environmental conditions and also restrictions because of possible lack of resources such as wind or sunshine is considerably reduced, assisting in more stable as well as reliable sustainable manufacturing. The hybrid generation plants use the exact same grid connection point and share infrastructures, such as the substation as well as the discharge line for the electrical energy produced. On top of that, they lie on land that was currently made use of for renewable generation and also enable common roads and also facilities for the procedure of both technologies. All of this results in a much lower environmental impact than would certainly have held true with two independent plants, Iberdrola claimed.

Iberdrola, PepsiCo ink Iberian solar PPA
Iberdrola as well as PepsiCo have authorized a power purchase agreement (PPA) to provide 100% renewable electrical power to all of the brand name's food and also drink centres in Spain as well as Portugal. The PPA will enter into force on 1 January 2023 and covers 11 PepsiCo centers. The renewable energy will certainly come from the 590MW Francisco Pizarro photovoltaic or pv plant that Iberdrola is developing between the Extremaduran municipalities of Torrecillas de la Tiesa as well as Aldeacentenera, in Cáceres. These consist of the production plants in Spain (beverages in Álava, snacks in Burgos as well as gazpacho Alvalle in Murcia) and one more plant in Carregado (Portugal). The agreement also consists of two large PepsiCo logistics centres in Burgos and Valencia, along with sales offices in Vitoria, Pamplona, Palma de Mallorca and also workplaces in Vitoria and also Barcelona " We are proud to be part of the development of projects like this that are changing the present and also future of power in our country which are fully aligned with our goal to reach zero net discharges by 2040," said Marta Puyuelo, Director of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability for PepsiCo Southwest Europe. She included: "This is one of the many initiatives we are executing as part of PepsiCo Positive, the comprehensive makeover of our firm with sustainability at its core. Sergio Hernández de Deza, Iberdrola's Director of Large Customers as well as Industrial Solutions, claimed: "Long-term green power purchase agreements (PPAs) open up numerous opportunities for the development of renewable projects to speed up the energy change to lower dependancy on fossil fuels. " PPAs have actually become an ideal tool for taking care of the electrical energy supply of large customer customers who share our commitment to a new, cleaner as well as a lot more sustainable financial design."

Iberdrola buys 9.6-MW Molise solar project to deepen Italian push
Iberdrola’s Italian arm has acquired Montenero Green Energy Srl, owner of a 9.6-MW photovoltaic project in Molise, adding a neat, near-term block of capacity in a region with solid irradiation and improving grid access. The deal fits Iberdrola’s pattern in Italy: accumulate a pipeline of executable, grid-friendly assets while selectively layering corporate offtake and participating in national procurement schemes. At this scale, bankability is about repeatability. Expect a conventional utility-PV design—high-efficiency modules on single-axis trackers or optimized fixed tilt, a DC/AC ratio tuned for annual yield, and plant controls delivering reactive power, fault ride-through, and rapid curtailment response. With Molise’s agricultural footprint, developers often pair arrays with biodiversity plans—species-rich grassland under panels, hedgerow planting at boundaries, and minimal herbicide use—to preserve landscape character and ease municipal approvals. Commercial options are flexible. Iberdrola can contract output via corporate PPAs with regional manufacturers, participate in Italy’s support mechanisms, or hold a measured merchant slice if nodal fundamentals are favorable. Co-located storage is increasingly part of the conversation: two to four hours of batteries can shift mid-afternoon generation into early evening and unlock ancillary-service revenues. Even if not built on day one, preserving substation space and transformer headroom for a future BESS retrofit is now standard practice. Grid-side, Molise benefits from proximity to stronger corridors feeding central and southern load pockets. Careful interconnection sequencing—transformer reservations, protection settings aligned with the DSO, and staged commissioning—helps avoid delays that have plagued some Italian sites. Post-COD, unified SCADA and predictive O&M will be key to sustaining availability and catching under-performing strings early. Strategically, the acquisition keeps Iberdrola on a pragmatic course in Italy: add compact, executable plants while pushing larger projects through permitting. In a market where execution discipline is the edge, a tidy 9.6-MW block that moves smoothly from paper to production can be worth more than a headline-grabbing giant that stalls in the queue.

Iberdrola's Groundbreaking Battery Projects Revolutionize Spain's Renewable Energy
Iberdrola, a global renewable energy conglomerate, has announced plans to build six Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in Spain with a combined capacity of 150 MW. Each battery will have 25 MW of power and a capacity of 50 MWh. The projects will be located in Castilla y León, Extremadura, Castilla La Mancha, and Andalusia. The batteries will use lithium-ion technology and will be installed as hybrid systems with renewable energy sources, primarily solar. The projects have been recognized as Strategic Projects for Economic Recovery and Transformation (PERTE) and will receive 37.5 million in funding.Battery storage technology is crucial for maximizing the use of clean energy, regulating grid frequency, and providing backup capacity during peak energy periods. Iberdrola has been actively involved in battery projects in Spain, including the installation of Spain's first electrical energy storage system with lithium-ion batteries in Murcia. They have also developed batteries in Puertollano and the Basque Country to store energy from solar and wind sources. What are Iberdrola's plans for battery energy storage systems in Spain?
