Energy Giant’s Bold Moves Shake Up the Industry: What’s Behind Their Success?

Iberdrola, a prominent name in the global energy sector, has reported a stunning profit of 5.471 billion euros for the initial months of 2024. The remarkable figure was bolstered by a significant 1.165 billion euros from divesting Mexican assets. Setting this aside, the energy giant achieved a recurring net profit of 4.305 billion euros, reflecting an impressive 18.4% rise. This achievement was complemented by a 23% growth in their operating gross profit (Ebitda), which soared to 13.269 billion euros.

Strategic Investments Fuel Success

The company’s success is largely attributed to its heightened investments in electric grids and renewable energy, leading to record-setting renewable production levels. These advancements have cemented Iberdrola’s stance as a leader in the global energy transition. Notably, the United States and the United Kingdom have been instrumental in driving this growth, experiencing significant Ebitda increases.

Venturing Beyond Traditional Boundaries

Iberdrola is not resting on its laurels. It has raised its 2024 profit projection to 5.500 billion euros, anticipating a 14% year-over-year growth. Beyond energy, Iberdrola is expanding into data centers, securing a capacity of 615 megawatts, with Madrid hosting half. This move positions Iberdrola to make a substantial impact on Spain’s data center market, amidst global investments in data centers potentially reaching 10 billion euros.

As Iberdrola embarks on strategic growth, their journey in 2024 signifies not only financial milestones but also a bold vision towards innovation in the energy sector and beyond.
