Congratulations to our partners University at Albany and University of Connecticut for being selected for two new U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) grants! We’re thankful to have these forward-thinking institutions in our backyard and proud to partner with them on research to strengthen our electric grid in the face of increasing severe weather. ⛈️🌪️

From our family to yours, Happy 4th of July! Enjoy and stay safe.

🏆 15 in '24! (So far). We're proud to have earned 15 awards and recognitions in the first six months of 2024 — already surpassing last year's total. These accolades span all aspects of our businesses and are from well-respected organizations such as USA TODAY, Ethisphere , JUST Capital, Forbes, Edison Electric Institute and Barron's. “Earning fifteen accolades within a mere half-year demonstrates our team's unwavering commitment and effort,” said Pedro Azagra, Avangrid CEO. “These recognitions are a testament to the pioneering strides Avangrid is taking in sustainability and climate stewardship, in strategic alliance with Iberdrola. I look forward to continuing to innovate and push the boundaries of the energy industry across all aspects of our businesses.” More: https://ow.ly/zMW350SuKQU

It was a pleasure to welcome The Columbian inside the NCC to meet our team and CEO Pedro Azagra. "We’re pulling in about 1.2 million points of data every four seconds. That’s not an amount of data a human can process," said Kit Blair, senior director of remote operations. More 👇👇https://lnkd.in/epGK3NtV

✔️New England Wind Construction and Operations Plan - Approved! Today, Avangrid received full federal approval for the construction of our transformational New England Wind #offshore projects.

Our CEO Pedro Azagra was honored to be a keynote speaker at the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC) Annual Energy Summit held in Santa Fe, NM this week. Avangrid has invested millions of dollars in renewable energy in the southwest, and is committed to further development in the region, including through our partnership to explore opportunities for up to 1 GW of green energy projects within the Navajo Nation in the states of New Mexico and Arizona. The purpose of the USHCC summit is to bring stakeholders from across the energy sector together to share knowledge of relevant energy issues and to ensure the role of Hispanic business enterprises within the industry. The title of this year's event was "Empowering Hispanic Businesses in the Evolving Energy Landscape." Pedro spoke about the importance of #renewableenergy and highlighted Avangrid's contributions to the #cleanenergy transition over the past year.
