A key commitment to climate change with facts 🌎
Hello everyone! 🤗 We're excited to bring you the latest updates in clean energy from the recent Climate Summit, COP28 held in Dubai 📍Let’s delve into our key takeaways.
"We have witnessed a COP for action and we must congratulate the presidency for helping to achieve a positive outcome. Agree on a transition away from fossil fuels and at the same time"
as our president has assured. For Ignacio Galán:
"Today begins the hard work to achieve the goals set, which involves mobilizing huge investments in renewables, grids and storage, the other two critical pillars for a stable energy transition."
We proudly represented global leadership in combating climate change at the conference. Our president defended the goal of tripling renewables by 2030.
In a day full of activities, Ignacio Galán also met with young activists at a UNICEF- participated event, exploring the career prospects offered by the green revolution.
A significant highlight of COP28 was our announcement of a new major green alliance with Masdar (Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company) for a RECORD joint investment: €15 billion in offshore wind and green hydrogen installations in Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States 🌿 🔋 🌊.
The alliance’s first major projects involves investing in the 1,400 megawatt (MW) 🌅 East Anglia 3 offshore wind farm, in which Masdar could reach a stake of up to 49%.
MORE commitment to the UK 📈
Continuing with the good news, Iberdrola are expanding our investments in the United Kingdom, allocating €12 billion (€14 billion) for 2024-2028. This funding is dedicated to enhancing electricity grids and renewable 💪🏽 projects
This was announced by Ignacio Galán at the Global Investment Summit organized in London by British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, where he pointed out that:
"Iberdrola is proud to contribute to supporting the UK's leading position in decarbonisation"

Renewables around the world 🌎
We're excited to share progress from across the Atlantic regarding our mega offshore wind farm Vineyard Wind I, the first commercial-scale in the U.S.
The first 5️⃣ wind turbines have already been installed and will start producing electricity before the end of the year- a significant milestone👏🏽
Once completed, this wind farm will provide clean energy to more than 400,000 families and businesses in Massachusetts.
Strategic alliance to promote GREEN 💚 mobility
Recently, we’ve been delighted to announce 🤗 a new joint venture between Iberdrola and bp pulse, aimed at advancing electric mobility in Spain and Portugal 🚗.
The new collaboration will invest €1,000 million to create the most extensive fast and ultra-fast public charging network in the Iberian Peninsula, with the aim of reaching 11,700 points by 2030 🔋🔌.
We’re excited about this new step towards cleaner and more sustainable mobility!
Amazing DRON 👀 Views
And finally, we want to share how we use the drone in our offshore wind farm in Saint Brieuc to review our wind turbines.
And that's it for today 😉. Don't forget to follow us on our other social media platforms for more diverse and engaging content: X, TikTok, Pinterest o Youtube.

1yKeep up the good work Iberdrola, but I am not too convinced that COP 28 needed over 80,000 delegates to reaffirm what was already agreed, or that Adnoc Execs are best placed to set global KPIs.
