June typically marks exam period in classrooms, and the focus shifts to corporate news for many. On Friday, June 17, shareholders will gather for Iberdrola’s general meeting. The court of public opinion weighs the value of a company with more than 600,000 holders as the Basque group advances its plans. In the view of the group, president Ignacio Sánchez Galán has built a robust, balanced portfolio. Within his role, electricity generation has grown decisively, multiplying in scale. The group recently reached a milestone of about 70,000 million euros in market presence.
Despite a turbulent world economy, the Ukraine conflict and ongoing tensions between governments and energy firms, observers note a high loyalty among Iberdrola’s shareholders. Roughly 70 percent of minority investors have held their shares for more than 20 years, a level of devotion not commonly seen elsewhere. These perspectives come from insiders familiar with the shareholding base. This loyalty mirrors a strong foundation for long-term strategic plans. Source: Iberdrola annual review.
business ambassadors
Two major names on the Ibex are Inditex and Iberdrola, widely regarded as Spain’s leading commercial ambassadors to the world. Iberdrola showcases international leadership, emphasizing its role in wind energy. World Wind Day, celebrated on June 15, highlighted the company’s status as a leading wind power operator with around 15,000 turbines across 14 countries and an installed capacity near 21,000 megawatts.

At its annual meeting, Iberdrola will outline how it reached its goals despite market headwinds. The Spanish profit picture softened, but gains were offset by strong performance in Brazil and the United States. The company now sees new opportunities in Australia and Japan.

Only 30% in Spain
With roots in Castile and the Basque region, Iberdrola has evolved far beyond its traditional Spanish base. Today, roughly 30 percent of its business remains anchored in Spain, with the majority of the group’s market share outside the homeland. This is a clear signal of international diversification.

In this context, with the world energy crisis and diplomatic tensions with Algeria in the background, Iberdrola heads toward a new general assembly.

Last week the company announced changes in its United States subsidiary Avangrid, signaling a planned investment of about 6,000 million euros in New York State over the next three years. In parallel, Neoenergía, Iberdrola’s unit in Rio de Janeiro, marked its market debut in Madrid, inviting European investors to join its Brazilian growth story. Source: corporate updates.

100% green
The company’s leadership is evaluated against a horizon of robust growth in 100 percent green energy. Iberdrola’s renewable assets total close to 40,000 megawatts of installed capacity, underscoring the core value of its energy portfolio. Source: energy portfolio review.
To sustain this path, Iberdrola plans continued investment in renewables, grids, storage, and the development of green hydrogen across multiple regions. The investment plan targets about 75,000 million euros in the coming years. Observers emphasize that Iberdrola’s international footprint sets it apart from peers, who may be viewed by some as simply a monthly bill collector. The loyal base of thousands of shareholders reinforces confidence in the company’s long-term stability. Source: strategic investment outlook.
