Independent Auditor's Report on the Consolidated Annual Accounts
(Translation from the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails.)
To the Shareholders of Iberdrola, S.A.
REPORT ON THE CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL ACCOUNTS
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated annual accounts of Iberdrola, S.A. (the "Parent") and subsidiaries (together the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position at 31 December 2025, and the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and consolidated notes.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated annual accounts give a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the consolidated equity and consolidated financial position of the Group at 31 December 2025 and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (IFRS-EU) and other provisions of the financial reporting framework applicable in Spain.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with prevailing legislation regulating the audit of accounts in Spain. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Annual Accounts section of our report.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements, including those regarding independence, that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated annual accounts pursuant to the legislation regulating the audit of accounts in Spain. We have not provided any non-audit services, nor have any situations or circumstances arisen which, under the aforementioned regulations, have affected the required independence such that this has been compromised.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated annual accounts of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated annual accounts as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

| Impairment of non-current non-financial assets
See Notes 3.i, 9, 11, 14 and 42 to the consolidated annual accounts | |
| --- | --- |
| Key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
| IFRS-EU require the entity to assess at each reporting date whether there are any indications that its assets or cash-generating units (CGUs) may be impaired and, if so, to estimate the recoverable amount thereof.
Indications of impairment were identified in 2025 in projects related to renewable energy affecting the offshore CGU and several offshore CGUs, all located in the United States, due to the reasons set forth in note 14 to the consolidated annual accounts. In this regard, an impairment analysis was performed on the non-current assets of these CGUs, which revealed that the recoverable amounts of the offshore renewable energy CGUs under development at the date of the analysis, estimated by determining the fair value less costs to sell, were lower than their carrying amounts, and therefore a valuation adjustment of Euros 371 million has been recognised in 2025.
IFRS-EU require that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives or those not yet in use be tested for impairment annually, irrespective of whether there is any indication that the assets or CGUs may be impaired. As a result of the acquisitions made in recent years, the consolidated annual accounts include goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives of Euros 8,389 million and Euros 8,264 million, respectively, allocated to the corresponding CGUs.
The recoverable amount of the CGUs subject to impairment testing, defined as the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use, is calculated using methodologies based on discounted cash flows, the estimation of which requires the use of a high degree of judgement and the use of assumptions and estimates. Due to the high level of judgement required, the uncertainty associated with these estimates and the significance of the amount of non-current assets, this has been considered a key audit matter. | Our audit procedures included the following:
• Evaluating the design and implementation of the key controls related to the impairment testing process and, in particular, to the process of identifying indications of impairment.
• Assessing the design and implementation of the key controls related to the process of determining recoverable amount.
• Assessing the reasonableness of the methodology used to calculate the recoverable amount and the main assumptions considered, with the involvement of our valuation specialists.
• Comparing the information considered in the model with the sector, economic and financial information available through external sources.
• In the case of determining value in use, additionally:
- Analysing the consistency of the estimated growth in future cash flows with the business plans approved by the governing bodies, including their consistency with the Group's strategy to address climate change and the Paris Agreement.
- Performing a comparative analysis of the cash flow forecasts estimated in the prior year with the actual cash flows obtained (retrospective analysis).
• Evaluating the sensitivity of the recoverable amount to changes in certain assumptions that can be considered reasonable.
• Assessing whether the disclosures in the consolidated annual accounts meet the requirements of the applicable financial reporting framework. |

| Revenue recognition: Unbilled energy supplied See Notes 3.s and 5 to the consolidated annual accounts | |
|---|---|
| Key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
| The Group's businesses that carry out energy supply activities must make estimates of unbilled energy supplies to end customers in the period between the last meter reading and the end of the fiscal year. Estimated unbilled energy supplied at 31 December 2025 amounts to Euros 2,416 million. | |
| Unbilled energy supplied is estimated based on internal and external information that is compared with the readings contained in the management systems used by the businesses. Revenue is calculated by multiplying estimated unbilled energy consumption, a process which involves high levels of uncertainty, by the tariff agreed with each customer. | |
| Determining revenue from unbilled energy supplied requires the use of estimates by Group management with the application of criteria, judgements and assumptions in its calculations, so this has been considered a key audit matter. | Our audit procedures included the following: |
| • Analysing the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of the key controls related to the process of estimating unbilled revenue. | |
| • Evaluating the reasonableness of the calculation model used. | |
| • Comparing the estimates made at the close of the previous period and actual invoicing data (retrospective analysis). | |
| • Assessing the reasonableness of the volume of unbilled energy through an analysis of historical information and other available internal and external data. | |
| • Evaluating a selected sample of the tariffs applied by comparing them with the data contained in the customer contract databases. | |
| • Assessing whether the disclosures in the consolidated annual accounts meet the requirements of the applicable financial reporting framework. |

| Business combinations: Acquisition of control of North West Electricity Networks (Jersey) Limited (ENW Holding).
See notes 3.x, 7 and 9 to the consolidated annual accounts | |
| --- | --- |
| Key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
| In 2024, the Company entered into certain agreements to acquire 88% of ENW Holding, which indirectly holds 100% of the share capital of Electricity North West Limited (ENW), a British electricity distribution company operating in the United Kingdom. However, this acquisition was recognised and valued in 2024 using the equity method as it was subject to approval by the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), which prevented the Company from exercising control over it. In March 2025, following approval of the transaction by the CMA, the taking of control was completed and the business combination was recognised. As a result of the aforementioned transaction and in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework, in 2025 the Company recognised goodwill amounting to Euros 586 million and an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life relating to the perpetual concession for the distribution of electricity in certain areas of the United Kingdom, which amounted to Euros 2,405 million at 31 December 2025. We consider this transaction to be a key audit matter due to its significance, the judgement required to determine the date control was assumed, and the identification and determination of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. | Our audit procedures included the following:
• Evaluating and discussing with Group management the process followed to identify and recognise the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and determine the acquisition date (assumption of control).
• Obtaining the valuation report prepared by the independent expert engaged by the Group and evaluating the methodology and key assumptions used to determine the fair value of the investee, as well as the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and their identification, involving our valuation specialists for this purpose and comparing the Group’s explanations with market data and our experience in similar transactions.
• Furthermore, we assessed whether the disclosures in the annual accounts on the transaction and the aforementioned process meet the requirements of the applicable financial reporting framework. |

Other Information: Consolidated Directors' Report
Other information solely comprises the 2025 consolidated directors' report, the preparation of which is the responsibility of the Parent's Directors and which does not form an integral part of the consolidated annual accounts.
Our audit opinion on the consolidated annual accounts does not encompass the consolidated directors' report. Our responsibility regarding the information contained in the consolidated directors' report is defined in the legislation regulating the audit of accounts, as follows:
a) Determine, solely, whether the consolidated non-financial information statement and certain information included in the Annual Corporate Governance Report and the Annual Report on Directors' Remuneration, as specified in the Spanish Audit Law, have been provided in the manner stipulated in the applicable legislation, and if not, to report on this matter.
b) Assess and report on the consistency of the rest of the information included in the consolidated directors' report with the consolidated annual accounts, based on knowledge of the Group obtained during the audit of the aforementioned consolidated annual accounts. Also, assess and report on whether the content and presentation of this part of the consolidated directors' report are in accordance with applicable legislation. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there are material misstatements, we are required to report them.
Based on the work carried out, as described above, we have observed that the information mentioned in section a) above has been provided in the manner stipulated in the applicable legislation, that the rest of the information contained in the consolidated directors' report is consistent with that disclosed in the consolidated annual accounts for 2025, and that the content and presentation of the report are in accordance with applicable legislation.
Directors' and Audit Committee's Responsibility for the Consolidated Annual Accounts
The Parent's Directors are responsible for the preparation of the accompanying consolidated annual accounts in such a way that they give a true and fair view of the consolidated equity, consolidated financial position and consolidated financial performance of the Group in accordance with IFRS-EU and other provisions of the financial reporting framework applicable to the Group in Spain, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated annual accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated annual accounts, the Parent's Directors are responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Parent's audit committee is responsible for overseeing the preparation and presentation of the consolidated annual accounts.
KPMG
(Translation from the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails.)
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Annual Accounts
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated annual accounts as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with prevailing legislation regulating the audit of accounts in Spain will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated annual accounts.
As part of an audit in accordance with prevailing legislation regulating the audit of accounts in Spain, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated annual accounts, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Parent's Directors.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the Parent's Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated annual accounts or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated annual accounts, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated annual accounts represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves a true and fair view.
- Plan and execute the Group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units of the Group as the basis to form an opinion on the consolidated annual accounts. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the work performed for the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
KPMG
(Translation from the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails.)
We communicate with the audit committee of the Parent regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Parent's audit committee with a statement that we have complied with the ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, safeguarding measures adopted to eliminate or reduce the threat.
From the matters communicated to the audit committee of the Parent, we determine those that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated annual accounts of the current period and which are therefore the key audit matters.
We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.
REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

In this regard, they have incorporated the Annual Corporate Governance Report and the Annual Report on Directors' Remuneration by means of a reference thereto in the consolidated directors' report.
Our responsibility consists of examining the digital files prepared by the Directors of the Parent, in accordance with prevailing legislation regulating the audit of accounts in Spain.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025
1. Group activities
Iberdrola, S.A. (hereinafter, IBERDROLA), a company incorporated in Spain and with registered address at Plaza Euskadi 5, in Bilbao, is the parent of a group of companies whose main activities are:
- Production of electricity from renewable and conventional sources.
- Sale and purchase of electricity and gas in wholesale markets.
- Transmission and distribution of electricity
- Retail supply of electricity, gas and energy-related services.
- Other activities, mainly linked to the energy sector.
The aforementioned activities are performed in Spain and abroad, and totally or partially either directly by IBERDROLA or through the ownership of shares or other equity investments in other companies, subject in all cases to the legislation applicable at any given time and, in particular, to the prevailing laws in the electricity industry. The IBERDROLA Group carries out its activities mainly in five countries in the Atlantic region: Spain, the United Kingdom (UK), the United States of America (USA), Mexico (Note 18) and Brazil.
2. Basis of presentation of the consolidated financial statements
2.a) Accounting legislation applied
The IBERDROLA Group's 2025 consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 24 February 2026, in accordance with International financial reporting standards (hereinafter, IFRS), as adopted by the European Union, pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council, and the electronic reporting format requirements set out in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/815. The directors of IBERDROLA expect these consolidated financial statements to be approved by the shareholders at the General Meeting without modification.
The IBERDROLA Group's 2024 consolidated financial statements were approved by shareholders at the General Meeting held on 30 May 2025.
At 31 December 2025, the consolidated financial statements presented negative working capital of EUR 3,562 million. The directors state that this shortfall will be covered by generating funds from the businesses of the IBERDROLA Group. As indicated in Note 4, the IBERDROLA Group has undrawn borrowings amounting to EUR 16,364 million.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for equity instruments and derivative financial instruments, which have been measured at fair value. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are hedged at fair value are adjusted to reflect variations in their fair value arising from the hedged risk.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 13
The accounting policies used to draw up these consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the annual period ended 31 December 2024, except for the early application, effective as from 1 January 2025, of the amendments to IFRS 7 and IFRS 9: "Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity".
Those amendments prospectively eliminate the recognition, in the consolidated income statement, of hedge ineffectiveness relating to the volume of energy whose production is not considered highly probable in cash flow hedges where the hedging instrument is a virtual or financial PPA that does not involve the physical delivery of power.
As at the date of initial application, the IBERDROLA Group discontinued the original hedging relationship, in which the hedging instrument was a virtual or financial electricity forward contract (which does not involve the physical delivery of power and is settled in cash for the difference between the contract price and the market price of electricity). As that relationship gave rise to hedge ineffectiveness in respect of the volume of power the production of which was not considered highly probable, the Group has designated a new hedging relationship that does not generate ineffectiveness, as the forecast transaction designated as the hedged item is considered highly probable (Notes 3.k and 30).
The amendments to IAS 21: Lack of Exchangeability, as approved by the European Union for their application in Europe, entered into force on 1 January 2025, but have had no impact on these consolidated annual financial statements.
2.b) Standards issued pending application
At the date of these consolidated financial statements, the following standards, amendments and interpretations had been issued, effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026:
| Standard | Mandatory application | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| IASB | European Union | ||
| Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 | Modifications to the classification and measurement of financial instruments | 1/1/2026 | 1/1/2026 |
| Amendments to various standards | Annual Improvements to IFRSs – Volume 11 | 1/1/2026 | 1/1/2026 |
| IFRS 18 | Presentation of financial statements and disclosures | 1/1/2027 | 1/1/2027 |
| Amendments to IAS 21: | The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates | 1/1/2027 | (*) |
(*) Pending EU approval.
Upon the entry into force of IFRS 18, the IBERDROLA Group will adapt the structure of the consolidated income statement to the predefined disaggregation categories (operating, investing and financing) and the subtotals established by the new standard ("operating profit" and "profit before financing and income taxes"); the amount of the IBERDROLA Group's net profit will not be affected by the new requirements. The financial statements will also include a specific note addressing the reporting requirements related to Management-defined Performance Measures (MPMs). Likewise, the criteria for aggregating and disaggregating the information to be disclosed will be followed, both in the primary financial statements and in the notes.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 14
The IBERDROLA Group believes that the application of the other amendments would not have resulted in significant changes to these consolidated financial statements.
The IBERDROLA Group has not applied in advance of the authorisation for issue of these consolidated financial statements any published standard, interpretation or amendment that has not yet come into force, except for the aforementioned amendments to IFRS 7 and IFRS 9: “Renewable energy contracts” (Note 2.a).
2.c) Comparison of information
As indicated in Note 7, in March 2025 the IBERDROLA Group took control of Electricity North West Limited (ENW), and in February 2024 the divestment of certain companies in Mexico took place. These transactions must be taken into account when comparing the figures for 2025 with those for the comparative period.
Moreover, the comparative information for 2024 has been amended with respect to that published in the annual financial statements for 2024 in respect of the following item:
Discontinued operations
In July 2025, the IBERDROLA Group entered into an agreement with COX ABG Group, S.A. to acquire the subsidiary company Iberdrola México, which holds the IBERDROLA Group’s various businesses in Mexico (Note 18). The profit after tax from that discontinued activity is included under the heading “Net profit for the year from discontinued operations (net of tax)” in the consolidated income statement for 2025 and 2024, in accordance with applicable accounting principles. The results and cash flows for 2025 and 2024 relating to those activities are disclosed in Note 18 to these financial statements. The comparative information for the prior period has been restated accordingly.
3. Accounting policies
3.a) Goodwill
Goodwill acquired on or after 1 January 2004 is measured at acquisition cost and that acquired earlier is measured at the carrying amount at 31 December 2003 in accordance with Spanish accounting standards in effect on that date, as provided in IFRS 1 — “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”.
3.b) Other intangible assets
Concessions, patents, licenses, trademarks and others
The electricity distribution and transmission concessions held in UK by SCOTTISH POWER and those linked to the activities of AVANGRID, are not subject to any legal or other nature limits. Accordingly, as they are intangible assets with an indefinite useful life they are not amortised by the IBERDROLA Group, although they are assessed for indications of impairment each year, as described in Note 3.i.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 15
Intangible assets under IFRIC 12
IFRIC 12 affects only the electricity distribution activities carried out by the IBERDROLA Group in Brazil (Note 13). Remuneration for network construction and upgrade work carried out by the IBERDROLA Group in this country consisted, on the one hand, of an unconditional right to receive cash and, on the other hand, of the right to charge certain amounts to consumers. As a result, by applying IFRIC 12, two different assets were recognised for the two types of consideration received:
- A financial asset, which is recognised under “Other non-current financial assets” in the consolidated statement of financial position (Note 15.b).
- An intangible asset, amortisable in the concession period, which is recognised under “Other intangible assets” in the consolidated statement of financial position (Note 9).
Since the IBERDROLA Group performs more than one service (i.e. operation services and construction or upgrade services), the consideration received under the agreement for provision of services is recognised separately in the consolidated income statement, in accordance with IFRS 15 “Revenues from Contracts with Customers”.
Computer software
Computer software is amortised on a straight-line basis over a period of between three and five years from the entry into service of each software asset.
Customer acquisition costs
The IBERDROLA Group recognises incremental costs from customer contracts related mainly to commissions for the implementation of purchase agreements as intangible assets which are amortised on a systematic basis according to the average expected life of contracts with customers that are associated with such costs.
3.c) Investment property
Investment property is recognised at acquisition cost net of accumulated depreciation. It is depreciated on a straight-line basis, minus material residual value, over each asset’s estimated useful life, which ranges between 37.5 and 75 years based on the features of each asset concerned.
3.d) Property, plant and equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at acquisition or production cost less accumulated depreciation and value adjustments. The acquisition cost includes, where applicable, the following items:
- Prior to the transition to IFRS (1 January 2004), the IBERDROLA Group updated certain Spanish assets under the “Property, plant and equipment” heading of the consolidated statement of financial position as permitted by prevailing legislation, including Royal Decree-Law 7/1996, and considered the amount of these revaluations as part of the cost of the assets, in accordance with IFRS 1.
- Finance expense related to external funding accrued exclusively during the construction period (Note 43).
- Personnel expenses related directly or indirectly to construction in progress (Note 40).
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 16
- If the IBERDROLA Group is required to decommission its facilities or renovate the place where they are located, the current value of said costs is included in the carrying amount of assets for their present value, with a credit to the sub-heading “Provisions — Other provisions” of the consolidated statement of financial position (Note 3.q).
The IBERDROLA Group transfers property, plant and equipment in progress to property, plant and equipment in use at the end of the related trial period.
3.e) Depreciation of property, plant and equipment in use
Every year, the IBERDROLA Group reviews the useful life of its assets based on internal and external information sources.
The cost of property, plant and equipment in use is depreciated on a straight-line basis, less any material residual value, at annual rates based on the years of estimated useful life, which for most assets are as follows:
| Average years of estimated useful life | |
|---|---|
| Combined cycle power plants | 40 |
| Nuclear power plants | 44-47 |
| Onshore wind farms | |
| Less than 1 MW | 30 |
| More than 1 MW: | |
| Structural components | 40 |
| Non-structural components | 25 |
| Offshore wind farms | 25-30 |
| Photovoltaic power plants | 30 |
| Gas storage facilities | 27-35 |
| Transmission facilities | 40 |
| Distribution facilities | 40-60 |
| Conventional meters and measuring devices | 10-40 |
| Electronic or smart meters | 10-15 |
| Buildings | 40-50 |
| Dispatching centres and other facilities | 4-50 |
The important components of property, plant and equipment that maintain different useful lives are considered separately.
3.f) Lease contracts
The IBERDROLA Group has classified the right-of-use assets and the lease liabilities under the headings “Right-of-use assets”, “Non-current financial liabilities — Leases”, and “Current financial liabilities — Leases” respectively, in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Contingent rents subject to the occurrence of a specific event and the variable fees dependent on revenues or the use of the underlying asset are recorded at the time when they are incurred under the “External services” heading of the consolidated income statement, rather than forming part of the lease liability.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 17
The IBERDROLA Group has opted not to apply the exemption when recognising current leases (those with lease terms of 12 months or less). Contracts may include lease elements as well as non-lease elements. The IBERDROLA Group chooses not to separate such elements for accounting purposes and to recognise them as a single lease element.
3.g) Nuclear fuel
Nuclear fuel costs include the financial expenses accrued during construction (Note 43).
The nuclear fuel consumed is recognised under the "Supplies" heading of the consolidated income statement from when the fuel loaded into the reactor starts to be used, based on the cost of the fuel and the degree of burning in each reporting period.
3.h) Inventories
Energy resources
Energy resources are measured at acquisition cost, calculated using the average weighted price method, or net realisable value, if the latter is lower. No adjustments to the value of energy sources that are part of the production process are made if it is expected that the finished products into which they will be incorporated will be sold at above cost.
Real estate inventories
Real estate inventories are measured at cost of acquisition or production, which includes both the acquisition cost of the land and plot and the costs of urban planning and construction of the real estate developments incurred until the year end. These costs include project-related expenses, licenses, permits and certificates evidencing construction work filed at the pertinent registries.
The acquisition cost also includes finance expenses to the extent that such expenses relate to the period of town planning permits, urbanisation or construction up until the time at which the land or plot is ready for operation (Note 43).
The IBERDROLA Group periodically compares the cost of acquisition of real estate inventories with their net realisable value, recognising the necessary impairment losses with a charge to the consolidated income statement when the latter is lower. If the circumstance leading to the impairment loss no longer exists, it is reversed, and the corresponding income is recognised, with the limit being the lower of cost and the new net realisable value of the inventories. This comparison is based on the value estimates made by external experts qualified for this purpose (mainly Knight Frank España, S.A.) in accordance with the Valuation Standards published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) of Great Britain, in their January 2014 edition and confirmed in the 2024 edition.
For land, construction in progress and unsold units, net realisable value is the estimated selling price of an asset in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs to finish the production and the necessary costs to carry on with the sale of the element.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 18
For other land and plots, value is determined using the residual method, where the costs of the proposed development are deducted from the gross value of the development, adding the profit margin which the developer would need taking into account the risk of the development. The key variables of the residual method are:
- Expected income: consists of the estimated price at which each of the development units may be sold, in accordance with a sales rate in accordance with estimates from independent experts.
- The cost of the development, including all disbursements to be made by the developer of the work depending on the type (e.g. government-sponsored or private single-family dwellings) and quality of the construction. In addition to the cost of the works, it includes the cost of projects and licenses (10%-12% of the physical construction project), legal fees (1%-1.5% of the material implementation project), marketing and promotional expenses (2%-4% of income) and unforeseen contingencies (3%).
- Development time: time required for the different planning, management and urban discipline stages, as well as expected construction and promotional periods.
- The developer profit considered for each asset, depending on the zoning status of the land, size and complexity of the development, ranging from 6% to 36% of total costs.
For land with licences, construction in progress and unsold units, the main difference with regard to unlicensed land is the developer's profit, which in this case is lower given the stage of completion of the work and the decrease in risk as the completion of construction nears.
At year-end 2025, 92.8% of the value of the real estate inventories has an independent expert valuation updated to December. For the remaining cases (assets valued at less than EUR 1,000,000, land declassified for urban development, works under construction, and remains of developments), compliance with the 2024 valuation assumptions was verified in 2025 and, if applicable, the market value was considered unchanged.
Emission allowances and renewable certificates
Inventories of emission allowances and renewable energy certificates are measured at acquisition cost, calculated using the average weighted price method, or production cost if generated through the energy produced by own facilities that make use of renewable resources. Subsequently, they are measured at either cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower. No valuation adjustments are made to emission allowances or renewable energy certificates to be delivered to governmental agencies in compliance with environmental obligations.
Emission allowances and energy renewable certificates acquired for the purpose of benefiting through fluctuations in their market price are measured at fair value with a credit or debit to the consolidated income statements.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 19
Certain Group companies are required to deliver to governmental agencies emission allowances – in accordance with CO2 emissions throughout the year in Europe – and renewable obligation certificates (ROCs) in accordance with the MWh of electricity supplied to customers in the United Kingdom under the Renewables Obligation mechanism. This obligation is recorded by recognising a provision under “Supplies” in the consolidated income statement and its amount is calculated (i) as the carrying amount for allowances and certificates held at the end of the reporting period and (ii) the closing listed price for allowances and certificates not held at the end of the period and that must be acquired in order to comply with the aforementioned obligations.
Emission allowances and renewable energy certificates are derecognised from the consolidated statement of financial position when they are sold to third parties, have been delivered or expire. When the emission allowances are delivered, they are derecognised with a charge to the provision made when the CO2 emissions with no impact on the consolidated income statement were generated.
Income and expense from trading of inventories are recognised in the consolidated income statement under “Revenue” and “Supplies”, respectively, with the resulting change in the inventories.
3.i) Impairment of non-financial assets
At least at the close of each financial year, the IBERDROLA Group reviews the value of its non-current assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss.
In the case of goodwill and other intangible assets which have not come into use or which have an indefinite useful life, the IBERDROLA Group performs the recoverability analysis systematically every year, except when there are indications of impairment at another time, in which case the recoverability analysis is performed at the same time.
For the purposes of this recoverability analysis, goodwill is allocated to the cash generating units or groups that benefit from the synergies arising from the business combination (Note 9).
Assumptions used in the value in use calculation include discount rates, growth rates and expected changes in selling prices and direct costs. Discount rates reflect the value of money over time and the risks associated with each cash-generating unit. Growth rates and variations in prices and direct costs are based on contractual commitments already in place, publicly available information, as well as industry forecasts and the IBERDROLA Group's experience (Note 14).
For the sake of simplicity, an amount substantially similar to the lease liabilities is deducted from both the carrying amount and the recoverable amount of the CGUs. International standards also happen to require consistency of cash flows and discount rates. However, as the application of IFRS 16 — Leases has had only a minor impact on the composition of assets and liabilities and cash flows related to CGUs.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 20
If the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the difference is registered as a charge to the “Amortisation, depreciation and provisions” heading of the consolidated income statement. Impairment losses recognised for an asset are reversed with a credit under the “Amortisation, depreciation and provisions” heading of the consolidated income statement when there is a change in the estimates concerning the recoverable amount of the asset, increasing the carrying amount of the asset, but so the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognised.
The IBERDROLA Group distinguishes between impairment allowances and write-offs depending on whether the impairment is reversible or not reversible. A write-off involves a decrease in the carrying amount of assets, either because the impairments are considered definitive and non-reversible, or because it is stipulated that this is the case under the accounting standards, such as the case of goodwill, or when considering that the value of the asset is not going to be recovered for its use or disposal.
3.j) Associates and joint ventures
Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. The result of measuring investments in associates using the equity method is recognised under the “Other reserves” and “Result of equity-accounted investees - net of taxes” headings of the consolidated statement of financial position and income statement, respectively.
The IBERDROLA Group regularly observes for signs of impairment at its associates and joint ventures by comparing the total carrying amount of the associate or joint venture, (including goodwill), to its recoverable amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, the IBERDROLA Group recognises the related impairment with a debit to the consolidated income statement within the “Results of equity-accounted investees — net of taxes” heading.
3.k) Financial instruments
Classification and measurement of financial assets
The IBERDROLA Group measures its current and non-current financial assets in accordance with the criteria described below:
- Assets at amortised cost
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are included in this category:
- The assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the assets to obtain the contractual cash flows, and
- The contractual terms give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 21
These assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transactions costs and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Interest accrued is recognised in the consolidated income statement using the effective interest rate method. However, financial assets maturing in less than a year that do not have a contractual interest rate are measured both initially and subsequently at their nominal amount when the impact of not discounting cash flows is immaterial.
- Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
The IBERDROLA Group includes in this category derivative financial instruments that do not satisfy the conditions necessary for hedge accounting based on the requirements established for this purpose in IAS 9: “Financial Instruments” (Note 30).
Assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value. The transaction costs directly attributable to purchase or issuing are recognised as an expense in the consolidated income statement insofar as they are incurred. The changes that occur in their fair value are allocated to the consolidated income statement for the period in the “Finance expense” and “Finance income” of the consolidated income statement, as may be applicable.
The IBERDROLA Group determines the most appropriate classification for each asset on acquisition and reviews the classification at each year end date.
Impairment of financial assets at amortised cost and contract assets
The IBERDROLA Group recognises valuation changes resulting from credit losses expected from financial assets and contract assets at amortised cost.
The IBERDROLA Group will apply the general model for calculation of expected loss on financial assets other than contract assets and trade receivables without a significant financial component, for which the simplified model will be applied.
Under the general model, credit losses expected in the next 12 months are considered unless the credit risk of financial instruments has significantly increased from the initial recording. In that case, the expected credit losses over the life of the asset will be considered. The IBERDROLA Group recognises that the credit risk of a financial instrument has not significantly increased since its initial recognition if it is determined that at the reporting date it has a low credit risk.
Under the simplified approach, they qualify as expected credit losses over the life of the asset. The IBERDROLA Group has adopted the practical expedient whereby it calculates the expected credit loss on trade receivables by using a matrix of provisions based on its experience of historical credit losses adjusted for available forward-looking information.
Allocations and reversals of valuation adjustments due to impairment of trade receivables and contract assets are recognised under the “Valuation adjustments, trade and other receivables” heading of the consolidated income statement. Valuation changes and reversals of financial assets due to impairment of the other financial assets at amortised cost are recognised under the “Finance expense” heading of the consolidated income statement (Note 44).
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 22
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows in relation thereto have extinguished or have been transferred or when the risks and profits are considered to have been substantially assigned arising from their ownership.
The derecognition of a financial asset implies the recognising in the consolidated Income statement the difference between its carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs, including assets obtained or assets assumed and any deferred loss or gain in other comprehensive income.
Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
The IBERDROLA Group classifies all financial liabilities measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, except for derivative financial instruments, which are recognised at fair value.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when they are extinguished, i.e., when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. Moreover, when a debt instrument between IBERDROLA and the counterparty is replaced by another, on substantially different terms, the original financial liability is derecognised and the new financial liability is recognised.
The IBERDROLA Group considers that the conditions are substantially different if the current value of the discounted cash flows under the new conditions, including any fee paid net of any fee received from the lender, and using the original effective interest rate for the discount, differs at least 10 per cent from the current discounted value of the cash flows that still remain from the original financial liability.
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability or of the part of it that has been deregistered and the paid consideration, including the attributable transaction costs, and in which any transferred asset different from the assumed cash or liability is also included, is recognised in the consolidated income statement of the year in which it takes place.
When there is an exchange of debt instruments that do not have substantially different conditions, changed flows are deducted at the original interest rate, and every difference with the previous carrying amount is recognised in the consolidated income statement. In addition, costs or commissions adjust the carrying amount of financial liabilities and are amortised using the amortised cost method during the rest of the life of the changed liability.
Contracts to buy or sell non-financial items
The IBERDROLA Group performs a detailed analysis of all its contracts to buy or sell non-financial items to ensure they are classified correctly for accounting purposes.
As a general rule, those contracts that are settled for the net amount in cash or in another financial asset are classified as derivative financial instruments and are recognised and measured as described in this note, except for contracts entered into and held for the purpose of the receipt or delivery of a non-financial item in accordance with the IBERDROLA Group’s purchase, sale, or usage requirements.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 23
Contracts for the sale and purchase of non-financial items to which IFRS 9: “Financial instruments” does not apply qualify as own-use contracts and are recognised as the IBERDROLA Group receives or delivers the rights or obligations originating thereunder.
The Iberdrola Group enters into power purchase agreements (PPAs) for the sale of energy and renewable energy certificates to certain customers. PPAs that involve the physical delivery of energy are usually classified as own-use contracts and fall outside the scope of IFRS 9. Meanwhile, virtual or financial PPAs that do not involve the physical delivery of energy and are settled for the cash difference between the contract price and the market price are classified as derivatives that fall within the scope of IFRS 9. For such financial contracts, the IBERDROLA Group applies cash flow hedge accounting and recognises, in the consolidated income statement for 2024, any inefficiencies relating to the volume of energy whose production is not deemed to be highly probable. Following the entry into force of the amendments to IFRS 7 and IFRS 9: “Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity”, those hedging relationships no longer generate volume-related ineffectiveness (Note 2.a).
Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
Financial derivatives are initially recognised at acquisition cost in the consolidated statement of financial position and the required value adjustments are subsequently made to reflect their fair value at all times. Gains and losses arising from these changes are recognised in the consolidated income statement, under “Revenue” in the case of derivative financial instruments in commodities, or “Finance expense” and “Finance expense” for all other derivative financial instruments, unless the derivative has been designated as a cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in foreign countries.
At the start of the hedge, the hedging relationships are designed and formally documented, together with the risk management objective and strategy. It is also assessed at the beginning of the hedging relationship and on an ongoing basis, whether the relationship meets the effectiveness requirements prospectively.
The accounting treatment for hedging transactions is as follows:
- Fair value hedges:
Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments designated as hedges and changes in the fair value of the hedged item arising from the hedged risk are recognised with a charge or credit to the same heading in the consolidated income statement.
- Cash flow hedges:
The IBERDROLA Group recognises, under “Valuation adjustments” in the consolidated statement of financial position, gains or losses arising from the fair value measurement of the hedging instrument corresponding to the portion identified as an effective hedge. The hedging portion considered ineffective is recognised under the “Finance income” and “Finance expense” headings of the consolidated income statement.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 24
Accumulated losses or gains in "Valuation adjustments" are taken to the heading of the consolidated income statement affected by the hedged item to the extent that it has an impact on the consolidated income statement. If a hedge of a future transaction results in a non-financial asset or liability, this balance is taken into account when determining the initial value of the asset or liability generating the hedging transaction.
- Hedging of net investment in foreign operation:
The IBERDROLA Group recognises the profit or loss arising from the measurement at fair value of the hedge instrument that corresponds to the part identified as an effective hedge under "Translation differences" in the consolidated statement of financial position. The hedging portion considered ineffective is recognised under the "Finance income" and "Finance expense" headings of the consolidated income statement.
Discontinuation of hedge accounting
The IBERDROLA Group prospectively discontinues the fair value hedge accounting in the cases in which the hedging instrument matures, is sold, let go of or exercised, the goal of the risk management has changed, there is no financial relation between the hedge element and the hedged item, the credit risk effect prevails over value changes, the hedge instrument matures or is liquidated or the underlying hedge ceases to exist.
When hedge accounting is discontinued, the cumulative amount at that date is recognised under the "Valuation adjustments" and "Translation differences" headings in cash flow hedges and net investment hedges, respectively, is retained under those headings until the hedged transaction occurs, at which time the gain or loss on the transaction will be adjusted. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss recognised under the aforementioned headings is transferred to the consolidated income statements.
Embedded derivatives
Derivatives embedded in financial liabilities and transactions whose host contract falls outside the scope of IFRS 9: "Financial Instruments" are recognised separately when the IBERDROLA Group considers that their risks and characteristics are not closely related to the host contract in which they are embedded, providing the entire contract is not measured at fair value recording the changes in that value through the consolidated income statement.
With respect to financial liabilities whose cost is related to the achievement of sustainable objectives (Note 6), the IBERDROLA Group deems implied derivatives to be closely related to the principal contract since the underlying variables are not financial in nature, but rather specific to the company as conditions and objectives that are specially designed for IBERDROLA and related to its business.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 25
Fair value of derivative financial instruments
The fair value of derivative financial instruments is calculated as follows (Note 17):
- The fair value of derivatives quoted on an organised market corresponds to their quoted price at year end.
- To measure derivatives not traded on an organised market, the IBERDROLA Group uses assumptions based on market conditions at year end. In particular,
- the fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the value discounted at market interest rates of the interest rate swap contract spread;
- currency futures are measured by discounting the future cash flows calculated using the forward exchange rates at year end; and
- the fair value of contracts to trade non-financial items falling under the scope of IFRS 9 is calculated on the basis of the best estimate of future price curves for the underlying non-financial items at the year end of the consolidated financial statements, using, wherever possible, prices established on futures markets.
These measurement models take into account the risks of the asset or liability, including the credit risk of both the counterparty (Credit Value Adjustment) and the entity itself (Debit Value Adjustment). The credit risk is calculated according to the following parameters:
- Exposure at default: the amount of the risk arising at the time of non-payment by a counterparty, taking into account any collateral or compensation arrangements connected to the transaction.
- Probability of default: the probability that a counterparty will breach its obligations to pay the principal and/or interest, depending mainly on the features of the counterparty and its credit rating.
- Loss given default: the estimated loss in the event of default.
3.1) Treasury shares
At year end, the IBERDROLA Group's treasury shares are included under the "Treasury shares" heading of the consolidated statement of financial position and are measured at acquisition cost.
The gains and losses obtained on disposal of treasury shares are recognised under the "Other reserves" heading of the consolidated statement of financial position.
3.m) Capital grants
This heading includes any non-repayable government grants for financing property, plant and equipment, including the grants received from the US Government in the form of Investment Tax Credits as a result of setting up wind power facilities.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 26
All capital grants are taken to “Other operating income” in the consolidated income statement as the subsidised facilities are depreciated.
3.n) Facilities transferred or financed by third parties
According to the regulation applicable to electricity distribution in the countries in which IBERDROLA operates, the Group occasionally receives cash payments from third parties to build electricity grid connection facilities or direct assignment of such facilities. Both the cash received and the fair value of the facilities received are credited to the “Facilities assigned or financed by third parties” heading of the consolidated statement of financial position.
These amounts are subsequently recognised under the “Other operating income” heading of the consolidated income statement as the facilities are depreciated.
3.o) Post-employment and other employee benefits
Contributions to defined contribution post-employment benefit plans are registered as an expense under “Personnel expenses” in the consolidated income statement on an accrual basis.
In the case of the defined benefit plans, the IBERDROLA Group recognises the expenditure relating to these obligations on an accrual basis over the working life of the employees by commissioning the appropriate independent actuarial studies using the projected unit credit method to measure the obligation accrued at the year end. The provision recognised for this item represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation reduced by the fair value of the plan assets.
New measurements of net liabilities corresponding to defined provision commitments including positive or negative actuarial differences, the performance of the plan assets, excluding amounts included in the net interest on assets or liabilities and any changes impacting the limit of assets, are recognised under the “Other reserves” heading of the consolidated statement of financial position.
If the fair value of the assets exceeds the present value of the obligation, the net asset is recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position with the limit on the present value of future economic benefits to be received in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.
The IBERDROLA Group determines the net financial expense (income) related to its pension commitments by applying the discount rate used in its measurement of their value at the beginning of the period once considering the changes in the net pension commitments made during the period in terms of contributions and repayments made. The net interest and the amount corresponding to other expenses related with the commitments undertaken are recorded in the consolidated income statement.
The IBERDROLA Group determines the discount rate with reference to the market yields at the end of the reporting period, corresponding to the bonds or business obligations of high credit quality (the IBERDROLA Group considers a rating equivalent to AA/Aa). In countries which do not have such a deep market for such bonds and obligations, the discount rate is determined with reference to Government bonds.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 27
For the Eurozone, United Kingdom and the United States of America, there is a deep bond market with a sufficient period of maturity to cover all payments expected. For Eurozone countries, the depth of the bond or debenture market is evaluated at the level of the monetary union and not for the particular country. In the case of Brazil and Mexico, the discount rate has been determined taking into account the sovereign credit rating as there is no deep market for corporate bonds which meet the credit rating criteria indicated above.
The IBERDROLA Group applies a weighted average discount rate that reflects the estimated timing and amount of the defined benefit payments, and also the currency in which the benefits are to be paid.
The calculation methodology is mainly based on the following principles:
- The universe and spectrum of the outstanding bonds that meet the criteria of an AA/Aa rating is generated. The source of the information used is Bloomberg. The IBERDROLA Group has adopted the notional issuances that are higher than EUR 50 million or its equivalent in local currency as the selection criteria.
- Once the bonds' database is obtained, the result is screened and the bonds that show any deficiencies are eliminated.
- The sample is grouped based on the bonds' duration and the return on each duration and outstanding nominal amount of the issuance is shown.
- The benefit payment is calculated using a mathematical formula, i.e., the discrete minimum approximation of the quadratic function, resulting in a market return curve based on the duration. The market curve result will provide the discount factors for each future maturity date of the bonds.
For markets where the term of the corporate bonds or government bonds to have been issued does not match the term of the obligations, such maturities will be estimated by combining the sovereign benchmark rates together with the spreads of AA-rated corporate credit at liquid maturities. If there is no reference whatsoever to the term, the yield of the maximum existing term will be considered along with the slope derived from shorter maturities.
The discount rate reflects the time value of money and estimated schedule for the benefit payments. However, it does not reflect the actuarial, investment or credit risk or the risk of deviation in compliance with the actuarial assumptions.
3.p) Termination benefits
IBERDROLA recognises termination benefits when the Group can no longer remove the offer or when the expenses of restructuring are recognised from which the payment of severance payments arises, in the case that said recognition is made previously.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 28
The payments related with restructuring processes are recognised when the IBERDROLA Group has an implicit obligation, i.e., at the time that there is a detailed formal plan to perform the restructuring (identifying, at least, the company activities involved, or part of them, the main locations affected, the location, function and approximate number of employees that will be paid for the termination of their contracts, the disbursements that will be made, and the dates on which the plan will be implemented) and a valid expectation has been expected amongst the affected personnel that the restructuring will be carried out, either because the plan has begun to be executed or because its main characteristics have been announced.
The IBERDROLA Group recognises the full amount of the expenditure relating to these plans when the obligation is incurred by performing the appropriate actuarial studies to calculate the present value of the actuarial obligation at year end. The resulting actuarial gains and losses in termination benefits are recognised in the consolidated income statement.
3.q) Production facility closure costs
The IBERDROLA Group must meet the corresponding decommissioning costs for its production plants, including those arising from necessary tasks to prepare the land where they are located. Additionally, in accordance with the current legislation, the Group must perform certain tasks prior to the decommissioning of its nuclear plants, all of which are in Spain. Empresa Nacional de Residuos Radioactivos, S.A. will be responsible for such work. (ENRESA).
The estimated present value of these costs is capitalised with a credit to "Provisions — Other provisions" at the beginning of the useful life of the asset (Note 28).
The IBERDROLA Group applies a risk-free rate to financially update the provision because the estimated future cash flows to satisfy the obligation reflect the specific risks of the corresponding liability. The risk-free rate used corresponds to the yield at the end of the year which is being reported, government bonds with enough depth and solvency, in the same currency and similar due date to the obligation.
Any change in the provision as a result of its discounting is recognised under the "Finance expense" heading of the consolidated income statement.
3.r) Other provisions
The IBERDROLA Group recognises provisions to cover present obligations, whether these are legal or implied, which arise as a result of past events, provided that it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation (Note 28).
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 29
A provision is recognised when the liability or obligation arises, with a charge to the heading in the income statement in accordance with the nature of the obligation, for the present value of the provision when the effect of discounting the value of the obligation to present value is material. The change in the provision due to its discounting each year is recognised under the “Finance expense” heading of the consolidated income statement.
These provisions include those recorded to cover environmental damage, which were determined on the basis of a case-by-case analysis of the situation of the polluted assets and the cost of decontaminating them.
3.s) Recognition of revenue
Revenue from ordinary activities is recognised in such a manner that it represents the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
Given the nature of the Group's electricity and gas marketing activities, the recognition of revenue is subject to a certain degree of estimation, which corresponds to the units supplied to customers between the date of the last meter reading and the end of the period (Note 5).
Income estimates are calculated on the basis of information on outstanding metering periods, historical trends, weighted average tariffs applicable to each of the customers, the volume of energy purchased by the group's retail supply companies to meet demand and other data. The Company can use its experience it has developed over the years, plus it has sufficiently developed information systems to ensure the accuracy of the estimates recorded in the net sales accounts and compliance with the requirements of accounting regulations.
In the case of contracts with customers with several performance obligations, income is assigned to each performance obligation based on its individual sale price at the beginning of the contract. The individual sale price is estimated based on the observable price of sale of goods of services transactions when they are sold separately under similar circumstances to similar customers. If there are no observable prices in the market, the price is estimated using the most adequate method based on the information available.
Revenue from ordinary activities beyond the scope of IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” related to lease contracts (Note 3.f) and financial hedging derivatives (Note 3.k) is recognised in accordance with applicable accounting rules.
3.t) Adjustments for market price deviations
Under the provisions of the regulatory framework applicable to the renewable energy generation facilities owned by the Group in Spain, such facilities receive certain incentives (specific remuneration scheme) according to the methodology set out in Royal Decree 413/2014, of 6 June, which governs electricity production activity from renewable energy sources, cogeneration and waste (the “Royal Decree”). The Royal Decree provides that certain remuneration parameters will be updated by means of an order for each regulatory semi-period. In this respect, Order TED/53/2026 of 27 January sets out the remuneration parameters for the estimation of those incentives for the 2026–2028 regulatory period.
Annual Financial Report – 2025

The Royal Decree sets out the procedure to be followed in the event that the real market prices corresponding to the different semi-periods of the regulatory useful life of the asset are lower (positive adjustments) or higher (negative adjustments) than the prices estimated by the regulator at the beginning of the regulatory semi-period that were used to determine the incentives to be received for the investments within the scope of the regulation.
The accounting treatment of deviations in the market price applied by the Group, as adapted to the "Criteria for accounting for the 'value of adjustments for deviations in the market price', in accordance with Section 22 of Royal Decree 413/2014", as published by the CNMV on 21 October 2021, and pursuant also to the 2021 financial statements oversight report, is as follows:
- In general, each positive and negative market deviation is recognised in the statement of financial position.
- The amount of the liabilities will be limited to the amount of the deviations from the price that would have allowed the minimum return guaranteed under the Royal Decree to be obtained.
- However, where an analysis of the qualitative and quantitative aspects corresponding to each of the facilities owned by the Group reveals that leaving the remuneration regime would not have significantly more adverse economic consequences than remaining there, then the general approach described above is not followed.
In this regard, in relation to the Group's facilities that do not receive remuneration for operating, as at 31 December 2025, a receivable was recognised for all facilities with a positive Net Asset Value (NAV) in accordance with Order TED/53/2026, in respect of the positive price deviations established by the aforementioned Royal Decree arising since 2014.
When the asset reaches the end of its regulatory life, positive adjustments net of negative adjustments arising in the last regulatory half-period are recognised, based on their balance, in asset or liability accounts with a balancing entry in net revenue.
3.u) Transactions in foreign currency
Transactions carried out in currencies other than the functional currency of the group companies are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date.
The monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency have been converted to euros applying the existing rate at the close of the financial year, while the non-monetary ones measured at historical cost are converted applying the exchange rates applied on the date on which the transaction took place.
During the year, the differences arising between the exchange rates at which the transactions were recorded and those in force at the date on which the related proceeds are received or payments are made, are recorded, being charged to the "Finance expense" heading or credited to the "Finance income" heading, as appropriate, of the consolidated income statement.
Those foreign currency transactions in which the IBERDROLA Group has decided to mitigate currency risk through the use of financial derivatives or other hedging instruments are recorded as described in Note 3.k.

3.v) Income tax
IBERDROLA files consolidated tax returns in two tax consolidation groups in Spain, one in the common territory and the other in the province of Biscay, with certain Group companies. Foreign companies are taxed according to the current legislation of their respective jurisdiction.
The expense or income for Corporate income tax includes both the current and deferred tax. The tax on the current or deferred earnings is recognised in the consolidated income statement, unless arising from a transaction or economic event that has been recognised in the same year or in a different one, against net equity or from a business combination.
Current income tax assets or liabilities are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using tax regulations and rates that are enacted or substantively enacted at the close date.
Prepaid and deferred taxes are accounted based on the differences between the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities and the tax base, using the tax rates objectively expected to be in force when the assets and liabilities are realised.
Tax deductions to avoid double taxation and other tax credits, as well as tax relief earned as a result of economic events occurring in the year, are deducted from Income tax expense, unless there are doubts as to whether they can be realised.
Taxable income, tax loss carryforwards or deductions applied are calculated taking into account any uncertainties regarding the treatment of transactions for tax purposes. In those cases, in which the tax asset or liability exceeds the amount in the self-assessments, this is presented as current or not current on the consolidated statement of financial position taking into account the expected recovery or settlement date, considering, where applicable, the amount of the corresponding past-due interest on the liability as they accrue in the income statement. The IBERDROLA Group records the changes in facts and circumstances regarding tax uncertainties as a change in the estimate.
3.w) Share-based employee compensation
The delivery of IBERDROLA shares to employees as compensation for their services is recognised under the "Personnel expenses" heading of the consolidated income statement as the employees perform the remunerated services, with a credit to equity under "Equity — Other reserves" of the consolidated statement of financial position at the fair value of the equity instruments on the delivery date, defined as the date the IBERDROLA Group and its employees reach an agreement establishing the terms of the share delivery.
Fair value is determined in reference to the market value of shares at the award date deducting estimated dividends to which employees are not entitled, during the vesting period. Market conditions and other factors that have no effect on vesting are taken into consideration on the date of the initial valuation and are not subject to subsequent adjustment. The rest of the conditions are considered adjusting the number of equity instruments included in the determination of the transaction amount, so that finally, the amount recognised for the services received, is based on the number of equity instruments that will prospectively be consolidated.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 32
If remuneration based on equity instruments is paid in cash, the amount booked as "Personnel expenses" in the consolidated income statement is credited to "Non-current financial liabilities — Other non-current financial liabilities" or "Current financial liabilities — Other current financial liabilities" on the liabilities side of the consolidated statement of financial position, as appropriate. The fair value of the cash-settled compensation is remeasured at each reporting date.
Equity instruments retained to meet the employee's tax obligations do not alter the plan's classification as equity-settled.
3.x) Business combinations and transactions with non-controlling interests
In each business combination, non-controlling interests are initially recognised at fair value, or at an amount equivalent to their proportionate interest in the net identifiable assets of the acquired company on the takeover date. The value of non-controlling interests in equity and in the results of fully consolidated subsidiaries is presented under "Equity — Non-controlling interests" on the liabilities side of the consolidated statement of financial position and under "Non-controlling interests" in the consolidated income statement, respectively.
When there is a loss of control of a group company, its assets, liabilities and any non-controlling interests are derecognised. The resulting gains or losses are recognised under "Other operating income" in the income statement. Holdings maintained in the subsidiaries whose control has been lost will be measured by their fair value on the date when this loss of control occurred.
Generally speaking, the acquisition of an asset or group of assets where no products are generated is not deemed to meet the conditions for being classified as a business under the scope of IFRS 3 unless employees capable of carrying out a substantive process are incorporated. In transactions involving the acquisition and/or loss of control of an asset or group of assets that do not constitute a business in which a previous/remaining interest exists, or is otherwise retained, the IBERDROLA Group has elected to revalue such previous/remaining interest at fair value with a balancing entry in the consolidated income statement.
The income obtained in stock purchase transactions with minority shareholders in controlled companies and the sale of stock without loss of control will be recognised as charged or credited to reserves.
4. Policies on funding and financial risks
The IBERDROLA Group is exposed to various financial market risks inherent to the different countries, industries and markets in which it operates and to the businesses it carries out. Were they to materialise, these risks could prevent the Group from accomplishing its objectives and successfully pursuing its strategies. Section 4 of the consolidated Management report contains additional information on the Group's risks.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 33
In particular, the Policies on funding and financial risks, the corporate Policies on market risk and the corporate Policies on credit risk of the Iberdrola Group, all approved by the Board of Directors, identify the risk factors described below. The IBERDROLA Group has an organisation and systems in place to identify, measure, control, and manage its financial risks.
Interest rate risk
The IBERDROLA Group is exposed with regards to its financial liabilities to the risk of fluctuations in interest rates affecting cash flows and fair value.
To effectively manage and limit these risks, IBERDROLA annually sets a target debt structure between fixed and variable interest rates, based on its EBITDA structure. After defining the target structure, the company employs dynamic management to decide on actions throughout the year. This may involve taking on new financing at fixed or variable rates and/or using interest rate derivatives. These derivatives can help stabilise the interest rate of variable rate debt, limit its variability, or convert fixed rate debt to variable rate. Derivatives are also used to lock in the costs of future financing operations, as long as these operations are highly likely according to the existing budget or strategic plan.
Bank borrowings, bonds and other marketable securities arranged at floating interest rates and cash placements of the IBERDROLA Group are largely pegged to market rates (mainly Euribor, SONIA, SOFR and the IPCA CDI for the debt of the Brazilian subsidiaries).
Currency risk
The Iberdrola Group is exposed to changes in exchange rates between the currencies in which its financing and business operations are conducted and the functional currency of the various Group companies. Said operating currencies are mainly the Euro, the US dollar, Pound sterling and the Brazilian Real.
IBERDROLA Group is also exposed to currency risks as a result of investments in foreign companies (mainly Scottish Power, Avangrid, Iberdrola México and Neoenergia) arising from fluctuations in cash exchange rate differences of operating non-euro currencies.
Currency exchange variations imply a risk affecting the valuation of net assets and the translation of profit, possibly impacting IBERDROLA Group's equity situation.
The IBERDROLA Group mitigates currency risks by ensuring that all its economic flows are carried out in the currency of each Group company, maintaining an adequate percentage of debt in foreign currency and/or through derivatives.
Commodity and electricity price risk
For the generation of electricity and the supply to customers, the activities carried out by the IBERDROLA Group require the purchase and sale of various commodities (natural gas and other fuels) and emission allowances, the prices of which are subject to volatility in the international (global and regional) markets in which those commodities are traded.
Market prices for electricity, as well as for fuel commodities (mainly gas) and emission allowances, are subject to uncertainty.
To reduce uncertainty, mainly linked to the expected margin on the Iberdrola Group's generation and commercial activities, the Group enters into financial derivatives to lock in the cost of its own generation and the purchase and sale of energy associated with forecast electricity and gas sales.

Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 34
Risk posed by other indexing processes
Risks may also arise from other indexing processes (inflation, industrial metal prices, etc.), which are often included in contracts for the acquisition of equipment or construction materials for projects or new facilities, and where fluctuations in the reference or other index may affect the total cost of supply.
In a bid to mitigate this effect, the IBERDROLA Group may make use of market risk hedging mechanisms and/or arrange financial derivatives.
Derivatives for risk management purposes
Generally, the derivatives contracted are intended solely for hedging and not for speculative purposes.
In relation to the derivatives taken out to mitigate the above interest rate, exchange rate, commodity price and other indexation risks, in accordance with the risk guidelines and limits defined by the IBERDROLA Group, the critical terms of the hedging instruments are established to be equivalent to those of the hedged item, including, among others:
- The notional value of the hedging instrument is equal to or less than that of the hedged item.
- The underlying currency of the hedging instrument is the same as that of the hedged item.
- The term of the hedging instrument is equal to or less than that of the hedged item.
- The reference interest rate of the hedging instrument is, where applicable, the same as that of the hedged transaction.
- The interest frequency of the hedging instrument is the same as that of the hedged item.
The derivatives arranged to hedge interest rate, exchange rate, commodity price and other indexation risks are described in Note 30.
Liquidity risk
Exposure to adverse situations in the debt or capital markets or the IBERDROLA Group’s economic and financial situation can hinder or prevent the IBERDROLA Group from obtaining the financing required to properly carry out its business activities.
The IBERDROLA Group’s liquidity policy is designed to ensure that it can meet its payment obligations without having to rely on financing under unfavourable terms. To achieve this, various management strategies are employed, including maintaining a strong cash position and ensuring access to adequate committed credit facilities in terms of amount, duration, and flexibility. The Company also diversifies its financing sources by accessing different markets and geographical regions, and it spreads out the maturities of its issued debt.
Looking ahead to 2026, the IBERDROLA Group expects to cover its planned ordinary investments and dividend payments with cash on hand and with the cash flow generated from its operations and access to the interbank financial markets, capital markets and supranational lenders (such as the EIB, Development Banks and Export Credit Agencies – ECAs), even though the Group has sufficient credit facilities and loans in place with which to cover these investments.

At 31 December 2025 and 2024, the IBERDROLA Group had undrawn loans and credit facilities totalling EUR 16,364 and 15,206 million, respectively. In addition, as at 31 December 2025, there were current financial investments which, due to their contractual terms, the Iberdrola Group included in its liquidity position at that date. The following table provides a breakdown by maturity of the liquidity position at 31 December 2025 and 2024, expressed in millions of euros, based on the balance of the “Cash and cash equivalents” heading of the consolidated statement of financial position and current financial assets (up to 12 months):

| Cash and cash equivalents (Note 21) | 3,670 | 4,082 |
| Liquidity position | 21,174 | 19,303 |
Credit risk
The Iberdrola Group is exposed to credit risk arising from the potential failure of its counterparties (customers, financial institutions, partners, insurers, etc.) to honour their contractual obligations, including settlement risk and replacement cost risk.
Risk is properly managed and limited, depending on the type of transaction and the creditworthiness of counterparties. Ex-ante credit analyses of counterparties are performed, and exposures and compliance with limits are monitored.
Below is a breakdown by country of balances at 31 December 2025 and 2024 of financial assets and contract assets (in millions of euros):

Balances of “Other current and non-current financial assets” and “Non-current trade and other receivables” correspond mainly to concession agreements signed with Brazilian public administrations (Note 13) and receivables related to regulated activities in Spain and United States.
With regard to credit risk on trade receivables from electricity and gas retail supply activity in the liberalised market, the historical cost of defaults has remained below 1% of the total turnover generated by this activity across all countries in which it is carried out.
With regard to the “Cash and cash equivalents” heading of the consolidated statement of financial position, the average credit rating of the counterparties is BBB+, according to the scale used by Standard and Poor’s.
Sensitivity analysis
The following sensitivity analyses show, for each type of risk (without reflecting the interdependence among risk variables), how income for the year and equity might be affected by reasonably possible changes in each risk variable at 31 December 2025 and 2024.
- Interest rates:
To calculate the sensitivity of consolidated profit or loss to changes in interest rates, an increase or decrease of 50 basis points (equally in all currencies) is applied to the average balance of net floating interest rate debt, after taking into account hedges with derivatives. To calculate the sensitivity of equity, an increase or decrease of 50 basis points (equally across all currencies) is applied to the fair value of the outstanding cash flow hedges at year-end, the change in fair value of which is recognised in equity.
The sensitivity of consolidated profit or loss and equity to interest rate fluctuations is as follows (in millions of euros):
| Increase/decrease in interest rate (basis points) | Impact on profit before tax Income/(Expense) | Direct impact on equity before tax | Impact on equity before tax | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | Increase 50 bp | (87) | 236 | 149 |
| Decrease 50 bp | 87 | (236) | (149) | |
| 2024 | Increase 50 bp | (76) | 259 | 183 |
| Decrease 50 bp | 76 | (259) | (183) |
- Exchange rates:
To calculate the sensitivity of consolidated profit to variations in exchange rates, a depreciation or appreciation of 5% is applied mainly on the profit of foreign subsidiary companies whose operating currency is different to the Euro (net of economic hedges arranged), given that the risk originated from other transactions in foreign currency, either due to financing or business operations, is covered by exchange rate hedges. The sensitivity of equity to exchange rates is calculated by applying an appreciation or depreciation of 5% on net translation differences and on cash flow derivative hedges whose variation in fair value is recognised in equity.

The sensitivity of consolidated profit or loss and equity to changes in the dollar/euro, pound/euro and Brazilian real/euro exchange rates is as follows (in millions of euros):
| Change in the dollar/euro exchange rate | Impact on profit before tax Income/(Expense) | Direct impact on equity before tax | Impact on equity before tax | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | Depreciation of 5% | (7) | (959) | (966) |
| Appreciation of 5% | 2 | 1,060 | 1,062 | |
| 2024 | Depreciation of 5% | (16) | (1,100) | (1,116) |
| Appreciation of 5% | 7 | 1,216 | 1,223 | |

| Appreciation of 5% | 4 | 772 | 776 | |
| Change in the Brazilian real/euro exchange rate | Impact on profit before tax Income/(Expense) | Direct impact on equity before tax | Impact on equity before tax | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2025 | Depreciation of 5% | (6) | (270) | (276) |
| Appreciation of 5% | 2 | 299 | 301 | |
| 2024 | Depreciation of 5% | (6) | (261) | (267) |
| Appreciation of 5% | 4 | 288 | 292 |
- Commodities:
The sensitivity of consolidated profit and equity to changes in the market prices of the main commodities is as follows (in millions of euros):
| 2025 | Variation in price | Impact on profit/(loss) before tax | Direct impact on equity before tax | Impact on equity before tax |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gas | +5% | (1) | 26 | 25 |
| -5% | 1 | (26) | (25) | |
| Electricity | +5% | 7 | (87) | (80) |
| -5% | (7) | 87 | 80 | |
| 2024 | Variation in price | Impact on profit/(loss) before tax | Direct impact on equity before tax | Impact on equity before tax |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Gas | +5% | (2) | 29 | 27 |
| -5% | 2 | (29) | (27) | |
| Electricity | +5% | 5 | (75) | (70) |
| -5% | (5) | 75 | 70 |

5. Use of accounting estimates
The most significant estimates made by the IBERDROLA Group in these consolidated financial statements are as follows:
- Climate change:
The IBERDROLA Group's strategy takes into account the Paris Agreement objectives of limiting the global temperature increase to 2°C and of achieving climate neutrality by 2050.
The objectives of the Paris Agreement (Note 6) have been taken into account in drawing up the consolidated financial statements for 2025 and 2024. The effect of the commitments assumed by the Group has been considered when preparing the statements and estimating the useful lives of assets and the costs of closing and decommissioning electrical power plants and when analysing the impairment of non-financial assets.
- Unbilled power supplied:
The revenue figure for each year includes an estimate of the power supplied to customers of liberalised markets but not yet billed because it had not been measured at year-end for reasons relating to the regular meter-reading period (Note 3.s). Fully depreciated property, plant and equipment still in use at 31 December 2025 and 2024 amounted to EUR 2,416 and 2,508 million, respectively. This amount is included under "Current trade and other receivables" in the consolidated statements of financial position at 31 December 2025 and 2024 (Note 16).
- Settlements relating to regulated activities in Spain:
Revenue for each year includes an estimate of the income pending collection derived from the application of the methodology set out in the remuneration model in force for the distribution activity, which establishes that facilities commissioned in year "n" begin to be remunerated from year "n+2" (Note 38).
- Provisions for contingencies and expenses:
As indicated in Note 3.r, the IBERDROLA Group recognises provisions to cover present obligations arising from past events. For this purpose, it must assess the outcome of certain legal or other procedures that are ongoing at the date of authorisation for issue of these consolidated financial statements based on the best information available.
- Useful lives:
The IBERDROLA Group's property, plant and equipment is used over very prolonged periods of time. The Group estimates the useful lives for accounting purposes (Note 3.e) based on each asset's technical characteristics, the period over which it is expected to generate economic benefits and applicable legislation in each case.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 39
-
Costs incurred in closing down and decommissioning electrical power facilities:
The IBERDROLA Group periodically revises the estimates made concerning the costs to be incurred in the dismantling of its facilities. -
Provision for pensions and similar commitments and restructuring plans:
At each year end, the IBERDROLA Group estimates the current actuarial provision required to cover obligations relating to restructuring plans, pensions and other similar obligations to its employees. This process involves an independent valuation of the obligations and assets.
In calculating these values, the IBERDROLA Group relies on advice from independent actuaries and expert financial appraisers (Notes 3.o, 3.p and 27).
When valuing obligations, the independent expert proceeds as follows:
- Estimation of accrued liability, total cost for the year and payments in future years.
- Analysis of actuarial gains and losses, of the resulting surplus or deficit and sensitivity to relevant assumptions.
When valuing assets, the independent expert proceeds as follows:
- Identification of the managing entities, depositories of the pension funds and Managed Accounts and the degree of aptitude of each manager and Managed Account
- Operational Due Diligence of the managing entities: financial strength, solvency, organisational structure, resources, processes run by the Risk Control and Compliance functions, best execution policy, order placement, quality and reputation, etc.
- Quantitative and qualitative analysis of each of the Managed Accounts in which the financial investments are materialised and classification, in terms of liquidity, of each asset and/or investment vehicle, on the following basis:
| Level | Description | Practical assessment criteria |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Quoted prices for similar instruments | - Cash |
| - Equity & Preferred stocks | ||

- Fair value of real estate investments and inventories:
The IBERDROLA Group engages external experts to appraise its real estate investment property and investments each year (Notes 3.h and 10).
- Impairment of assets:
As described in Notes 3.i and 14, the IBERDROLA Group, in accordance with applicable accounting regulations, tests the cash-generating units that require testing for impairment each year. Specific tests are also conducted if indications of impairment are detected. These impairment tests require estimating the future cash flows of the businesses and the most appropriate discount rate in each case. The IBERDROLA Group believes its estimates in this respect are appropriate and consistent with the current economic climate and the commitments assumed under the Paris Agreement (Note 6) and reflect its investment plans and the best available estimate of its future expense and income. It is also confident that its discount rates adequately reflect the risks to which each cash-generating unit is exposed.
- Determining the term of a lease:
In the event that a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs that may affect the term, the IBERDROLA Group reviews the valuations made in the determination of the lease term. Renewal or termination options are only included in the determination of the lease term if it is reasonably certain that the contract will be extended or will not be cancelled. In the event that a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs that may affect the term, the IBERDROLA Group reviews the valuations made in the determination of the lease term.
6. Climate change and the Paris Agreement
In line with its commitment to the Paris Agreement and the energy transition, the IBERDROLA Climate Action Plan sets out an ambitious roadmap for achieving:
- Carbon neutrality for Scope 1 CO2 equivalent emissions by 2030.
- Reduce emissions intensity from electricity generation to below 10 g CO₂/kWh by 2030.
- Achieve net zero emissions by 2040.
To achieve this aspirational goal, levers and associated actions are also being defined which, in turn, will contribute to the decarbonisation of the economy as a whole, as well as the values, tools and indicators for the achievement thereof.
One of the levers for achieving this aspirational commitment to reduce emissions is that IBERDROLA will continue to promote and lead a business model and investment plan that is fully integrated into an electrified and decarbonised future. The Company is moving forward with its investment plan to cement its business model, based on more renewable energies, more grids and networks, increased storage and a wider range of smart solutions for customers.

6.a) Energy scenario
In preparing the consolidated financial statements for financial year 2025, the directors have taken into account the strategic plan presented to the markets on 24 September 2025, which provides the framework of the IBERDROLA Group's strategy and business model and is fully aligned with the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda in the fight against climate change.
The projections of the Iberdrola Group are consistent with the Paris objectives and are based mainly on the public scenario of the International Energy Agency (Announced Pledges Scenario, IEA-APS), together with other assumptions specific to the geographical areas in which the Group operates. The scenarios employed in our climate transition risk assessments (STEPS, APS, and NZE) are consistent with the key climate assumptions reflected in the financial statements.
6.b) Strategic vision
IBERDROLA'S strategic vision for the coming years fits within the energy scenario described in the preceding section.
As part of the updated 2025–2028 plan presented at Capital Markets Day on 24 September 2025, IBERDROLA announced investments totalling EUR 58,000 million over the period to support the electrification of the economy and address the evolving requirements of electricity grids. These investments represent an increase of 30% compared to the 2021-2024 period.
This Strategic Plan involves transforming the Company into a more regulated entity with a focus on the United Kingdom and the United States, with two thirds of the planned investments going towards transmission and distribution networks, mainly in those countries.
Of the EUR 58,000 million investment, 85% is earmarked for A-rated countries with stable, predictable and attractive regulatory frameworks. This will drive growth with greater stability, predictability, profitability and security.
- By country, 65% of the investment will be concentrated in the United Kingdom and the United States. The United Kingdom becomes the main investment target, with EUR 20,000 million, followed by the United States, with EUR 16,000 million. These are followed by the Iberian Peninsula with EUR 9,000 million, Brazil with EUR 7,000 million and other EU countries and Australia with EUR 5,000 million. In addition, approximately EUR 1,000 million are envisaged for investments in innovation and digital transformation not allocated to specific countries.
- By business area, IBERDROLA plans to invest EUR 37,000 million in the Networks business: EUR 25,000 million will be devoted to distribution networks and EUR 12,000 million to the transmission network. Investments are targeted at markets with secure or advanced trading frameworks and an average return (ROE) of 9.5%.
This will bring the base of regulated assets to EUR 70,000 million in 2028: At the end of the period, EUR 50,000 million will be from the distribution network and EUR 20,000 million from the transmission network.
The Company plans to allocate EUR 21,000 million to the renewables and customers businesses, 38% of which will go to offshore wind, 24% to onshore wind, 10% to storage and another 10% to solar. Of these projects, 75% are already under construction.

6.c) Preparation of the financial statements
In preparing these financial statements, the impact of climate change has been considered in a number of key estimates, including:
- estimated useful lives of assets, their residual values and decommissioning provisions; and
- impairment tests.
Useful lives:
As described in Note 3.e) “Depreciation of property, plant and equipment in use”, the IBERDROLA Group reviews the useful lives of its assets on an annual basis. The IBERDROLA Group did not alter the useful life of its assets in 2025. This decision is based on the fact that, as of the authorisation for issue date of these annual financial statements, a specific roadmap for achieving carbon neutrality for Scope 1 equivalent emissions by 2030 has not yet been established. Nevertheless, it seems reasonable that this objective will be met, considering the emissions reduction already achieved following the divestment in Mexico.
Moreover, the long-term ambition to achieve the “net zero” target before 2040 (Scopes 1, 2 and 3) depends as much on the actions taken by the Group as on the decisions of third parties. These measures could affect not only the Group’s thermal generation business, mainly cogeneration and combined cycle plants, but also its gas transmission, distribution and retail supply activities. In this respect, as at the date of authorisation for issue of these annual financial statements, the Company has not defined a specific combination of levers, nor has it taken any decision concerning the running of its businesses and activities.
Accordingly, and in line with this aspiration, during the 2025 financial year, the Group has reached a sale agreement for the subsidiary Iberdrola México, the company that owns the IBERDROLA Group's businesses in Mexico, comprising 1,166 MW of combined cycle plants and 202 MW of cogeneration capacity (Note 18).
The IBERDROLA Group has pledged not to build any new thermal power stations beyond those currently in existence. It anticipates that this form of generation will continue to operate only on a residual basis. This approach is primarily justified by the need to supply energy to populations without access and to ensure the effective integration of renewable energy sources.
It should also be borne in mind that some of the Group's businesses, such as gas transmission and distribution in the United States, as well as part of gas retail supply in Spain and the United Kingdom, for example, are regulated businesses. Any possible withdrawal from these activities would require regulatory authorisation.
In addition, the role of these assets in each country's energy transition is uncertain and depends on the future policies and measures adopted by governments or regulators. Should any decisions be taken by the regulator, such as shortening the useful life of these assets, the IBERDROLA Group considers that the economic effects would not have a material impact, as the regulation assures a positive return on investment and would compensate the Group through tariffs.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 44
Consequently, in general, the IBERDROLA Group considers it unnecessary to accelerate the depreciation of emitting assets, either because they are required as back-up or because their useful life depends on actions by third parties beyond the IBERDROLA Group's control. Nor has it accelerated the timing of provisions for the closure or decommissioning of facilities as a result of climate change. However, it will continue to monitor the system's needs and the decisions of governments and regulators to determine whether it will need to accelerate the depreciation of these assets in the future.
Impairment test
The projections used in the impairment tests of non-financial assets (Note 14) are aligned with the energy scenario described in 6.a) and the strategic vision included in 6.b). The aforesaid projections match the best forward-looking statements available to the IBERDROLA Group and include the investment plans for each country prevailing at that time. These plans align with the IBERDROLA Group's strategy and have been formulated considering the scenarios outlined in section 6.a).
Climate risks
Section 4.5 Climate change, describes the climate risks, including physical and transition risks, considered by the Group for its various businesses.
6.d) Sustainable financing
Once again, the IBERDROLA Group has reaffirmed its leadership in sustainable finance, in line with its business model, which champions electrification as a competitive, local and self-sufficient energy vector. This leadership is reflected across the different geographies in which the Group operates and through the various instruments and markets in which it raises financing. The Group aims to achieve the three main objectives: (i) implementing the Group's ambitious strategic plan, for which financial solvency and robustness are key pillars; (ii) aligning and ensuring consistency of the financing model for a sustainable investment plan in accordance with the European Taxonomy; and (iii) offering lenders and investors, in each transaction, a robust assurance that their financing will contribute to generating a positive environmental impact in a responsible manner.

Green financing arrangements
Obligations and Bonds
In the capital markets, the IBERDROLA Group is the world's leading private issuer of green bonds for its own financing.
In 2025, the IBERDROLA Group increased its volume of green bonds issued for a combined amount of EUR 4,138 million. At the Corporation, EUR 1,000 million of subordinated perpetual bonds, EUR 400 million of an equity-linked bond referencing Iberdrola shares, and EUR 750 million of a public bond; at Avangrid, USD 850 million (EUR 722 million); and at Neoenergia, BRL 8,300 million (EUR 1,266 million).
Bank loans

Multilateral loans
In 2025, the Corporation signed six green loans with the European Investment Bank for a total amount of EUR 858 million. Some of these loans were granted through funds from the Recovery and Resilience Facility to partially finance the 2024–2026 multi-year distribution network programme in Spain, the expansion of pumping capacity at Valdecañas, the reconstruction of infrastructure damaged by the October 2024 flash floods, and the Windanker offshore wind farm, the latter with cover from the Spanish export credit agency CESCE.
Rokas, a subsidiary of the Iberdrola Group in Greece, has signed two green loans with the European Investment Bank for a total amount of EUR 26 million, funded through direct EIB resources and the Recovery and Resilience Facility, to finance the Gatza wind farm.
Neoenergia has signed a loan with the European Investment Bank for 300 million euros, with cover from the Italian export credit agency SACE, to finance Coelba's 2025–2026 multi-year network programme.
Loans with development banks and export credit agencies (ECAs)
The IBERDROLA group has continued to diversify its sources of financing, establishing new commercial relationships with export credit agencies (ECAs). These credit agencies have insurance policies that cover significant percentages of the financial risks assumed by banks, thus enabling IBERDROLA to diversify its sources of financing and reduce risk consumption by banks.
In May 2025, the Iberdrola Group signed a loan of GBP 600 million (EUR 688 million), the proceeds of which support seven priority projects to fortify the United Kingdom's transmission network.
Equity instruments having the substance of a financial liability
In 2025, two tax credit monetisation transactions were executed at Avangrid under a Tax Equity Investor (TEI) structure, in respect of two portfolios of new onshore wind and photovoltaic renewable energy projects: The Solis II portfolio for an amount of USD 300 million (EUR 255 million) for the Camino Solar, True North and Power Creek projects, and the Aeolus IX portfolio for an amount of USD 177 million (EUR 150 million) for the Tower Solar, Juniper Canyon and Pontotoc projects.
Financing linked to the achievement of sustainability goals
The IBERDROLA Group has also entered into other financial arrangements categorised as sustainable where the cost or other structural characteristics are linked to compliance with a range of sustainable targets, one of which is always of an environmental nature.
Credit facilities linked to sustainable goals
During 2025, a new sustainability-linked syndicated credit facility (KPI-linked) for an amount of EUR 2,500 million was arranged with Iberdrola Financiación and Avangrid as borrowers, maturing in 2030 and linked to two environmental indicators.

7. Changes in the scope of consolidation and other significant transactions
Business combinations
On 2 August 2024, IBERDROLA entered into certain agreements with all the shareholders of North West Electricity Networks (Jersey) Limited (ENW Holding)—a company that indirectly holds 100% of the share capital of Electricity North West Limited (ENW), a British electricity distribution company operating in the United Kingdom—for the acquisition of an 88% stake in the share capital of ENW Holding and, indirectly, of ENW.
The transaction was completed on 22 October 2024, following approval by the UK Government under the National Security and Investment Act. The transaction was subject to review by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). As the transaction was completed prior to CMA approval, the CMA imposed an Initial Enforcement Order (IEO) prohibiting any integration before regulatory clearance was obtained.
The transaction was structured through the purchase of shares representing 85.6% of ENW Holding's share capital and a cash capital increase at ENW Holding, whereby the IBERDROLA Group acquired an additional 2.4% stake in the company. KDM Power Limited, a consortium led by the Japanese company Kansai Electric Power Co, retained a 12% stake in ENW Holding's share capital.
Upon completion of the transaction, judgement was applied in determining whether the Group controls or exerts significant influence over ENW Holding. The directors concluded that the IBERDROLA Group did not control ENW Holding despite holding an 88% stake, as the IBERDORLA Group did not believe it had the current ability to steer ENW Holding's relevant activities, such as appointing senior management, setting budgets, or building, maintaining and funding the network, for as long as the IEO issued by the CMA remained in place.
At 31 December 2024, the stake in ENW was accounted for using the equity method (Note 15.a). Subsequently, on March 20, 2025, once the CMA had completed its review of the transaction, control of ENW was taken.
Fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired
The fair value of ENW's assets and liabilities (calculated by an independent expert) and their carrying amounts at the date control was obtained, expressed in millions of euros, are as follows:
| Carrying amount | Fair value | |
|---|---|---|
| Intangible assets | 271 | 2,544 |
| Property, plant and equipment | 4,772 | 3,505 |
| Right-of-use asset | 21 | 21 |
| Non-current investments | 145 | 191 |
| Deferred tax assets | 71 | 71 |
| Current trade and other receivables | 134 | 134 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 293 | 293 |
| Total | 5,707 | 6,759 |

| Carrying amount | Fair value | |
|---|---|---|
| Facilities transferred or financed by third parties | 599 | 0 |
| Non-current provisions | 5 | 5 |
| Non-current financial liabilities | 2,941 | 2,884 |
| Deferred tax liabilities | 541 | 963 |
| Current financial liabilities | 241 | 260 |
| Other current liabilities | 154 | 154 |
| Total | 4,481 | 4,266 |
Goodwill
The breakdown of the goodwill as at 20 March 2025 arising from the business combination, expressed in millions of euros, is as follows:
| Total | |
|---|---|
| Fair value of previous holding | 2,710 |
| Fair value of non-controlling interests | 369 |
| Fair value at the date control was obtained | 3,079 |
| Fair value of net acquired assets | 2,493 |
| Goodwill arising on the acquisition (Note 9) | 586 |
The resulting goodwill consists primarily of future economic benefits arising from the acquired company's own activities that did not meet the conditions for separate accounting recognition at the time of the business combination.
The acquisition of ENW contributed, from the date control was obtained, a total of EUR 612 million and EUR 128 million to the IBERDROLA Group's 2025 consolidated net revenue and net profit, respectively, from continuing operations. Had the acquisition taken place on 1 January 2025, the contribution to the IBERDROLA Group's consolidated net revenue for 2025 would have been EUR 732 million.
The accounting treatment of this business combination has been determined on a provisional basis. Any adjustments affecting the provisional valuations that may be required as a result of new information about circumstances and events existing at the acquisition date that becomes available within a period not exceeding 12 months from that date will be recognised retrospectively.
Sale of Group companies
2025
Sale of SP Smart Meters Assets Limited (SPSMAL)
In May 2025, the IBERDROLA Group entered into a sale and purchase agreement for the sale of 100% of the share capital of SPSMAL, the company that owns and operates ScottishPower's smart meter rental business in the United Kingdom, to Macquarie UK Holdings No.2 Limited, a company wholly owned on an indirect basis by Macquarie Group Limited.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 50
Completion of the transaction was subject to approval by the UK competition authority (the Competition and Markets Authority), which was obtained in late May. The deal was finalised in September 2025.
On the completion date of the transaction, Scottish Power Energy Retail Limited (SPERL) entered into a long-term meter rental agreement with SPSMAL, whereby SPSMAL will provide SPERL with certain smart meter rental services for SPERL's customers in the United Kingdom.
The agreed consideration amounts to GBP 895.5 million and was paid in full by the purchaser on the transaction completion date.
This transaction resulted in a capital gain of EUR 379 million, which was recognised under "Other operating results" in the consolidated income statement for 2025, along with the derecognition of a goodwill balance totalling EUR 256 million from the consolidated statement of financial position at 31 December 2025 (Note 9).
Sale of East Anglia Three Holdings Limited (EA3)
In May 2025, the IBERDROLA Group and Abu Dhabi renewables group Masdar agreed to co-invest in the EA3 wind farm located off the coast of Suffolk, in the United Kingdom. The transaction was completed in July 2025, resulting in the effective loss of control over the interest and its classification as a joint venture accounted for using the equity method (Note 15.a).
This transaction resulted in a capital loss of EUR 126 million, which has been recognised under "Other operating income" in the consolidated income statement for 2025. In addition, the hedges that the IBERDROLA Group had put in place to cover the interest rate and inflation risk associated with the project were discontinued, yielding income of EUR 277 million, which has been recognised under "Finance income" in the consolidated income statement for 2025 (Note 30).
Sale of Neoenergia Itabapoana Transmissão de Energia, S.A.
In April 2025, the IBERDROLA Group (through Neoenergia) reached an agreement to sell 50% of its interest in Neoenergia Itabapoana Transmissão de Energia, S.A. to GIC in exchange for approximately BRL 115 million. Completion of the transaction resulted in the effective loss of control over the interest and its classification as a joint venture accounted for using the equity method (Note 15.a).
The transaction resulted in the recognition of losses of EUR 6 million and EUR 14 million, respectively, under the heading "Other operating income" in the consolidated income statement for 2025 and 2024.
At 31 December 2024, that stake was recognised under the headings "Assets held for sale" and "Liabilities held for sale" (Note 18).
Sale of Baixo Iguaçu
On 20 February 2025, Copel Geração e Transmissão S.A. irrevocably and unconditionally exercised its pre-emptive purchase right, on the exact terms set out in the Adhesion Agreement, to acquire the entire direct stake held by Neoenergia in Geração Céu Azul and, indirectly, its corresponding 70% stake in CEBI.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 51
On 30 June 2025, Neoenergia and Copel Geração e Transmissão S.A. satisfied all the conditions precedent and completed the transaction by selling, through Neoenergia, of all the shares in Geração Céu Azul S.A. for a total consideration of BRL 1,050 million (of which BRL 16 million relates to an earn-out, updated by the IPCA).
This transaction resulted in a capital gain of EUR 7 million, which has been recognised under “Other operating income” in the consolidated income statement for 2025 (capital loss of EUR 45 million under “Other operating income” in the consolidated income statement for 2024).
At 31 December 2024, that stake was recognised under the headings “Assets held for sale” and “Liabilities held for sale” (Note 18).
Agreement to sell Maine Natural Gas
In April 2025, the IBERDROLA Group sold its 100% stake in the US company Maine Natural Gas (MNG) to Unitil, a publicly listed energy holding company operating out of Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. This transaction resulted in a capital gain of EUR 5 million, which has been recognised under “Other operating income” in the consolidated income statement for 2025.
2024
Divestment in Mexico
In June 2023, Iberdrola Generación México, S.A. de C.V., Iberdrola Renovables México, S.A. de C.V. and certain subsidiaries thereof, all fully owned, directly or indirectly, by the IBERDROLA Group’s country subholding company in Mexico, namely Iberdrola México, S.A. de C.V., executed the sale and purchase agreement for the sale of their shares.
The spin-off to other subsidiaries of Iberdrola Mexico of certain generation projects and other assets excluded from the transaction was complete as at 31 December 2023, and all necessary regulatory approvals had been obtained, except for that of the Federal Economic Competition Commission (COFECE).
In February 2024, after receiving authorisation from the Mexican Federal Economic Competition Commission (COFECE) and having fulfilled the remaining conditions precedent agreed between the parties, the sale was successfully closed.
The total proceeds from the sale amounted to approximately USD 6,200 million, resulting in a gross capital gain of EUR 1,717 million, which was recognised in the 2024 consolidated income statement.
Divestment in Rumania
In April 2024, the IBERDROLA Group reached an agreement with Premier Renewable Invest Co S.R.L., a subsidiary of the Premier Energy Group, for the sale of 100% of Eólica Dobrogea One, S.A., which owns the Mihai Viteazu wind farm (80MW). The deal was completed on 30 July 2024. The total proceeds from the sale came to around EUR 92 million, resulting in a gross loss of EUR 9 million, which was recognised under “Other operating income” in the 2024 consolidated income statement.
Sale of Kitty Hawk
In July 2024, the IBERDROLA Group signed an alliance with Dominion Energy for the development of the Kitty Hawk offshore wind farm in the United States. The transaction includes the lease area of the Kitty Hawk North offshore wind farm and its associated assets.

The transaction was completed in October 2024. The total amount received from the sale was approximately EUR 146 million, leading to a gross capital gain of EUR 77 million, recorded under “Other operating income” in the 2024 consolidated income statement.
Transactions with non-controlling interests (Note 22)
2025
Acquisition of a 16.2% stake in Neoenergia S.A.
In November 2025, the IBERDROLA Group submitted a request to Brazil’s stock market regulator (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários – CVM) for the filing of a public tender offer targeting all the shares of Neoenergia S.A. (Neoenergia) not controlled by the IBERDROLA Group or held by Neoenergia as treasury shares, representing roughly 16.2% of its share capital (the “Tender Offer”). The purpose is to reclassify Neoenergia’s issuer category with the CVM from “A” to “B” and to delist Neoenergia’s shares from trading on the Novo Mercado segment of B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (B3).
The consideration for the Tender Offer will be paid entirely in cash and will be determined on the basis of:
- taking the amount of BRL 32.5 for each Neoenergia share (the price paid by Iberdrola Energía to Caixa de Previdência dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil – Previ for the acquisition of its 30.29% stake in Neoenergia S.A., completed on 31 October 2025);
- adding interest on that amount calculated on the basis of movements in the daily weighted average SELIC rate (Brazil’s benchmark interest rate) between 31 October 2025 and the settlement date of the tender offer; and
- reducing the amount by any dividends per share announced by Neoenergia since 31 October 2025.
The transaction has not yet been formalised, and has therefore had no effect on the consolidated financial statements for 2025.
Acquisition of a 30.29% stake in Neoenergia S.A.
In September 2025, the IBERDROLA Group entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Caixa de Previdência dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil – Previ (Previ) for the acquisition of all the shares in Neoenergia S.A. held by Previ, representing around 30.29% of Neoenergia’s share capital.
The transaction was completed in October 2025 for a consideration of BRL 11,950 million, at a price of BRL 32.5 per share.
With the transaction now complete, the IBERDROLA Group holds 83.8% of the share capital of Neoenergia S.A. and the shareholders’ agreement entered into by Iberdrola Energía and Previ on 7 June 2017 has been terminated.
Since the IBERDROLA Group already controlled the company, the transaction was recognised as a transaction in non-controlling interests, thus generating a decrease of EUR 1,820 million in Non-controlling interests, a charge of EUR 15 million to “Valuation adjustments”, a charge of EUR 941 million to “Translation differences” and a credit of EUR 866 million under “Other reserves” in the consolidated statement of financial position as of 31 December 2025.

Sale of a non-controlling stake in the capital of the company that owns the Windanker offshore wind farm
In December 2024, the IBERDROLA Group signed an agreement for the sale to Windanker Investco B.V. (a company belonging to the group of which Kansai Electric Power Company, Incorporated is the parent) of a 49% stake in the share capital of Windanker GmbH (Windanker), which owns the Windanker offshore wind farm in Germany.
The transaction was completed in April 2025, once the purchaser had secured the pertinent regulatory clearance. The price payable on completion of the transaction amounted to approximately EUR 180 million.
Following completion of the transaction, the purchaser must contribute, in proportion to its share in Windanker's capital, to the costs of building the wind farm through to its completion. In addition, certain entities belonging to the IBERDROLA Group will continue to provide construction oversight, operation and maintenance and wind farm management services.
Since the IBERDROLA Group already controlled the company, the transaction was recognised as a transaction in non-controlling interests, thus generating an increase of EUR 137 million in "Non-controlling interests" and a credit of EUR 37 million under "Other reserves" in the consolidated statement of financial position at 31 December 2025.
Co-investment framework agreement with NBIM Iberian Reinfra AS (Note 51)
In January 2024, a number of IBERDROLA Group companies entered into a co-investment framework agreement with NBIM Iberian Reinfra AS (NBIM Iberian), a company belonging to the group of which Norges Bank is the holding company. The agreement constituted a new arrangement as part of the ongoing collaboration between the parties for the joint development of renewable assets in the Iberian Peninsula undertaken pursuant to the co-investment framework agreement with NBIM Iberian announced by Iberdrola, S.A. on 17 January 2023.
The agreements envisage the acquisition by NBIM Iberian of a 49% stake in the share capital of several IBERDROLA Group companies operating onshore wind and solar photovoltaic projects in Spain and Portugal. At a later date, the IBERDROLA Group and NBIM Iberian will contribute their respective stakes in the companies owning the projects to a holding company owned by both companies in the same proportion of 51% and 49%, respectively, of their share capital. The IBERDROLA Group will retain control of the companies that own the projects and will manage the development of the non-operational projects until they enter commercial operation, and will continue to provide them with corporate, management, operation and maintenance services needed to run their operations.
Since the IBERDROLA Group already controlled the project portfolio that was contributed during the 2025 and 2024 financial years, the transaction is recognised as involving non-controlling interests. This resulted in a credit of EUR 200 million under "Non-controlling interests" and a credit of EUR 54 million under "Other reserves" in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2025 (credit of EUR 18 million under "Non-controlling interests" and a credit of EUR 3 million under "Other reserves" in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024).

2024
Resolution to acquire the common shares of Avangrid, Inc. not already owned by IBERDROLA
In March 2024, IBERDROLA submitted to the Board of Directors of Avangrid, Inc. (AVANGRID) a non-binding preliminary expression of interest whereby IBERDROLA proposed to acquire, through a merger or as otherwise agreed between the parties, all of the ordinary shares of AVANGRID not already owned by IBERDROLA.
In May 2024, IBERDROLA entered into a merger agreement with AVANGRID and IBERDROLA’s investee Arizona Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), whereby IBERDROLA would acquire all of the AVANGRID ordinary shares not already owned by IBERDROLA for USD 35.75 per share in cash. Following completion of the merger of Merger Sub into AVANGRID, IBERDROLA would hold 100% of AVANGRID’s share capital.
AVANGRID’s General Shareholders’ Meeting was held on 26 September 2024, at which the merger resolution was passed. The transaction had been previously approved by AVANGRID’s Board of Directors.
After receiving the necessary clearance, the merger between AVANGRID and Merger Sub was completed on 23 December 2024, whereupon IBERDROLA became the holder of 100% of AVANGRID’s share capital.
The total consideration Iberdrola paid to AVANGRID shareholders, excluding those of IBERDROLA, was USD 2,551 million.
As the IBERDROLA Group already controlled the company, this transaction was recorded as involving non-controlling interests. This resulted in a reduction of EUR 3,902 million under “Non-controlling interests” and credits of EUR 564 million, EUR 824 million, and EUR 25 million under “Other reserves”, “Translation differences”, and “Adjustments for change in value”, respectively, in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024. Transaction costs amounted to EUR 35 million.

Since the IBERDROLA Group already controlled the company, this transaction was recorded as involving non-controlling interests. This resulted in a charge of EUR 26 million under "Non-controlling interests" and a charge of EUR 2 million under "Other reserves" in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024.

The investment property owned by the IBERDROLA Group relates primarily to properties used for leasing. Income accrued in 2025 and 2024 from this activity amounted to EUR 29 and 27 million, respectively, and was recognised under the "Revenue" heading of the consolidated income statement. Operating expenses directly related to investment property in 2025 and 2024 were not significant.
The fair value of investment property in use at 31 December 2025 and 2024 amounted to EUR 499 and 469 million, respectively. This fair value (classified in Level 3) is determined via expert independent appraisals made annually in accordance with the Valuation Standards published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) of Great Britain, in their January 2014 edition, as last updated in 2024. The valuations at 31 December 2025 and 2024 were carried out by Knight Frank España.

Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 70
The assets have been valued individually and not as part of a property portfolio.
The methods applied for the calculation of fair value have been the discount of cash flows, the capitalisation of revenue and the comparison method, checked, as far as possible, against comparable (peer) transactions to reflect the reality of the market and the prices to which they are currently closing the asset operations of similar characteristics to the reference operations.
The discount of cash flows is based on a prediction of the probable net income that investment property will generate for a period of time and it considers its residual value at the end of the period. Cash flows are discounted at an internal rate of return that reflects the urban, construction and business risk of the asset.
The key variables and assumptions of the cash flow discount method are:
- Net income that the property will generate for a certain period of time, considering the initial contractual situation, development of renters and expected income, marketing costs, divestment expenses (variable percentage depending on the sale price), etc.
- Discount rate or objective internal return rate adjusted to reflect the risk that the investment entails depending on the localisation, occupation, renter quality, property age, etc.
- Disposal return, which consists of an estimate of the exit (sale) price of the property applying an estimated return for the close of the transaction at that date, considering the criteria of obsolescence, liquidity and market uncertainty.
For rental property that does not include such a broad number of variables and involves leased property for a period of time greater than 10 years and up and one renter, the capitalisation method for income is usually applied. This method consists of the perpetual capitalisation of the current contractual income via a capitalisation rate that inherently includes the risks and uncertainties that could arise in the market.
For the closure in 2025, an initial comparison has been made between the planned operation in the second year, as valued in 2024, and the actual operation in the 2025 financial year. In 19 cases, no differences were observed when comparing the operations, and therefore the 2024 value (discounted for investment additions minus depreciation) was assumed to be the market value in 2025. For all other cases, the independent expert has been commissioned to carry out an updated valuation and perform the corresponding impairment test.
The company has commissioned the independent expert to carry out sensitivity analyses on real estate investments for projects with a market value exceeding EUR 1 million, considering as a key variable the "discount rate or IRR" required for each project and keeping the other variables unchanged. For the 19 assets for which the independent expert has not updated the valuation to 2025, as the assumptions in the 2024 valuation for the second year have been met, the sensitivity analysis is based on proportional variations to the sensitivity analysis in December 2024.

- Núñez de Balboa photovoltaic plant
The Administrative Chamber of the High Court of Justice of Extremadura ruled to partially uphold the appeal lodged by one of the three owners of the land on which the Usagre Núñez de Balboa (Badajoz) photovoltaic plant is located, against the expropriation resolution issued by the Provincial Compulsory Expropriation Board of Badajoz. The judgment finds that the request for compulsory purchase lacked cause or justification and recognises the right to reinstatement of the affected land. Proyecto Núñez de Balboa, S.L.U. (PNDB), an IBERDROLA company, lodged an appeal before the Supreme Court in 2022, which was ultimately admitted for processing by the court on 14 December 2023. On 16 February 2024, the notice of appeal in cassation was filed.
By virtue of judgment dated 12 June 2025, the Supreme Court upheld the appeal in cassation lodged by PNDB, quashed the judgment handed down by the High Court of Justice of Extremadura, and recognised PNDB’s right to retain possession of the plots subject to expropriation. Such possession is to be governed by the terms of the lease agreement originally entered into with the owner. The judgment also set aside the return of possession of the land to Natura Manager and, consequently, the ensuing dismantling of the photovoltaic plant. With this Supreme Court judgment, which is final and non-appealable, the courts have effectively recognised the existence of the facility and its title of possession and permits.

(1) The Brazilian government has created an early renewal programme for electricity distribution concession contracts maturing between 2025 and 2031. Distribution companies whose concessions have already been renewed are not included in this programme. Within this context, in September 2025 the early renewal of the concession of the distributor Neoenergia Pernambuco was signed, thus earning the right to provide the public electricity distribution service for a further 30 years, running from 30 March 2030 to 30 March 2060. The unconditional right to receive cash at the end of the concession has been reclassified from "Other non-current financial investments" (Note 15.b) to "Intangible assets" (Note 9), as it will be recovered over the new concession period. The other companies are awaiting completion of the official procedures so that they can also sign the contractual renewal addendum. This is expected to happen in the first quarter of 2026.

The duration of the transmission and distribution concessions is 30 years, and they may be extended for up to a further 30 years upon request by the concession holder and at the discretion of the awarding authority, which is the Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica (ANEEL). The concession holder may not transfer such assets or use them as collateral without the prior written consent of the regulatory body. For distribution concessions, at the end of the concession ownership automatically reverts to the concession grantor and the amount of compensation due to the concession holder is assessed and determined.
Income from previous concession agreements includes the provision of construction services (Note 38) and operation and maintenance services for facilities owned by the awarding authority. The provisions of said services constitute two separate execution obligations incorporating different margins.
Construction services have a length of 3 to 5 years, whereas the provision of operation and maintenance services for facilities starts on the date they are delivered. In general, the latter date determines when the agreed annual payments are collected as part of the concession agreements. Such annual payments are collected during the concession period (normally 30 years), so they have a significant financial component.

14. Impairment of non-financial assets
Methodology for designing impairment tests
At least yearly, the IBERDROLA Group analyses its assets for indications of impairment. If such indications are found, an impairment test is conducted.
The IBERDROLA Group also conducts a systematic analysis of the impairment of cash-generating units that include goodwill or intangible assets in progress or with indefinite useful life, typically by applying the value in use method. Recovery of goodwill is analysed at country level (unit or group of cash-generating units) according to the Group's management structure.
The projections used in the impairment tests are based on the best forecast information held by the IBERDROLA Group and include the investment plans for each country prevailing at that time. These plans are designed on the basis of the IBERDROLA Group's strategy, taking into account the objectives of the Paris Agreement (Note 6), and are based on the electrification of the economy with renewable energy sources, to make further progress towards decarbonisation and climate neutrality and make the IBERDROLA Group carbon neutral ahead of the European Union's target date.
Recovery of goodwill is analysed at country level (considering all cash-generating units in each country) according to the Group's management structure, which mainly comprises:
- United Kingdom includes electricity and gas retail supply, electricity transmission and distribution licences in Scotland, Wales and England, and onshore and offshore renewable energy production.
- United States includes electricity and gas transmission and distribution licences in New York, Maine, Connecticut and Massachusetts and onshore and offshore renewable energy production.
- Brazil includes electricity retail supply, transmission and distribution licences in Bahia, Rio Grande do Norte, Pernambuco, São Paulo and Brasília, and renewable energy production.
- Other countries such as Australia and France produce renewable energy both onshore and offshore.
Below is a description of the main assumptions, projection periods and rates used to calculate value in use, a method generally applied in the different impairment tests:
a) Assumptions used in the cash-generating units of the Customers segment:
- Number of customers: expectations of the evolution of the number of customers have been used in the markets where the company operates and its relative position therein.
- Unit margin for electricity and gas retail supply: existing sales and purchase contracts have been used, as well as expectations of unit margins based on knowledge of the markets where the company operates and its relative position therein.
- Investment: the projections are based on the best available information about the cost of the investments to be made in the coming years.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 83
b) Assumptions used in the cash-generating units of the Networks segment:
- Regulated remuneration: approved remuneration has been used for years in which it is available, while in subsequent periods revision mechanisms of such remuneration set in different regulations have been used, and these have been applied in line with the estimated costs of the corresponding cash-generating units.
- Investment: the projections were based on investment plans consistent with the expected demand growth and undertakings in each concession, with the minimums set by each regulator and with the estimate of future remuneration used.
- Operation and maintenance costs: the best available estimation of the performance of the operation and maintenance cost was used, which is in line with the remuneration assumed to be received in each year.
c) Assumptions used in the cash-generating units of the Renewables and Sustainable Generation segment:
- Facilities' production: the operation hours of each plant were consistent with their historical output. In this respect, the long-term predictability of wind output was taken into account, which was also covered by regulatory mechanisms in practically all countries that enabled wind farms to produce whenever meteorological and network conditions allowed it.
- Electricity sales prices: the prices stipulated in the purchase and sales agreements signed have been used, where applicable. For unsold production, futures prices of the markets in which the IBERDROLA Group operates have been used. Existing support mechanisms have been taken into consideration in all cases.
- Investment: the projections were based on the best information available about the plants that are expected to be put into operation in the coming years, taking into account the fixed prices stated in the contracts to buy equipment from various suppliers, as well as the technical and financial capacity of the IBERDROLA Group to successfully fulfil the planned projects. Operating and maintenance costs: the prices set in land leases and maintenance agreements for the useful life of the facilities were used.

d) Forecast period and nominal growth rate:
The table below summarises the forecast period of future cash flows and the nominal growth rate (g) used to extrapolate these projections beyond the forecast period for the different groups of cash-generating units.
| 2025 | 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No. of years | g | No. of years | g | |

| Renewable energies | Useful life | 0 | Useful life | 0 |
| Renewable energies in Australia | Useful life | 0 | Useful life | 0 |
| Renewable energies in France onshore/offshore | Useful life | 0 | Useful life | 0 |
Although under IAS 36: "Impairment of Assets", it is recommended to use projections not exceeding five years for impairment test purposes, IBERDROLA has decided to use the periods included in this table for the following reasons:
- The most appropriate method for production assets in the energy business is using their remaining useful lives. This is due to the fact that in the liberalised business there are long-term energy sale contracts in force and long-term estimated prices curves are frequently used in the operating activity of the IBERDROLA Group (contracts, hedges, etc.).
- Energy is a basic necessity. Therefore, the business of electricity and gas retail supply is influenced by long-term governmental policies and is based on stable relationships with customers, using in certain cases infrastructures such as smart meters with long recoverability periods.
- Electricity transmission and distribution concessions include longer regulatory periods and the method that the regulator will use to calculate the new tariff at the beginning of the new regulatory period is known.
- The IBERDROLA Group considers its projections to be reliable and that past experience demonstrates its ability to predict cash flows in periods such as those under consideration.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 85
Moreover, the nominal growth rate considered in the electricity and gas transmission and distribution activities in Brazil, the United Kingdom and the United States is consistent with the market and inflation growth forecasts used by the IBERDROLA Group for these markets.
e) Discount rate
The methodology for calculating the discount rate used by IBERDROLA is to add the specific asset risks or risk premium of the asset or business to the temporary value of money or risk-free rate of each market.
The risk-free rate is effectively that of the 10-year Treasury bond in the market in question, which must have sufficient depth and solvency. For countries whose economies or currencies have insufficient depth and solvency, country risk and currency risk are estimated and the total of all these components is assimilated to the cost of funding without the risk spread of the asset.
The asset's risk premium corresponds to the specific risks of the asset, which is calculated taking into account the unlevered betas estimated on the basis of peer companies performing the same main activity.
The following pre-tax discount rates are used in the impairment tests for the different groups of cash-generating units:
| Rates – 2025 | Rates – 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | ||
| Electricity and gas retail supply | 8.59% | 8.12% |
| Transmission and distribution of electricity | 6.46% | 5.92% |
| Onshore/offshore renewable energies | 7.34% / 8.09% | 6.74% / 7.57% |
| United States | ||
| Transmission and distribution of electricity and gas | 6.26% | 5.94% |
| Onshore/offshore renewable energies | 6.99% / 7.96% | 6.67% / 7.60% |
| Brazil | ||
| Generation and retail supply of electricity | 16.98% | 15.67% |
| Transmission and distribution of electricity | 15.14% | 13.74% |
| Renewable energies | 16.05% | 14.48% |
| Renewable energies in Australia | 7.41% | 6.86% |
| Renewable energies in France onshore/offshore | 6.66% / 6.94% | 6.13% / 6.71% |
Impairment and write-offs recognised in 2025 and 2024
Note 42 shows the amounts recognised as write-downs and provisions/(reversals) of provisions for non-financial assets affecting the 2025 and 2024 consolidated Income statement.
In this regard, a notable aspect of the 2025 financial year is the valuation adjustment on assets under development in offshore renewable energy in the United States and smaller adjustments in other countries, primarily the United Kingdom and France.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 86
Given its particular relevance, the information relating to the valuation adjustment on assets under development of offshore renewable energies in the United States amounting to EUR 371 million before tax, which represents an after-tax valuation adjustment of EUR 317 million, and which is mainly due to the existing uncertainties (permit delays, increased tariffs) that could affect the recoverability of the incurred costs, is detailed below.
As a result of the above, signs of deterioration have been identified in offshore projects under construction or development in the United States. Accordingly, the recoverable amount of the Vineyard 1 wind farm under construction is similar to its carrying amount of EUR 713 million (including the interest accounted for using the equity method and the shareholder loans granted by the IBERDROLA Group; see Note 15). For the New England Wind projects under development, the recoverable amount amounts to EUR 567 million. In both cases, this corresponds to fair value less costs of sale. That fair value less costs of disposal exceeds the value in use, as it includes in the cash flow estimates certain assumptions that cannot be included in value in use, such as the immediate monetisation of tax incentives, even though the discount rate is somewhat higher. These amounts were obtained by discounting the after-tax cash flows until the end of the useful life, taking into account various assumptions that represent management's best estimates of how the assets will develop in the future (including permits, tariffs, investment costs, operating and maintenance costs, production and selling prices), and were discounted at rates of 6.84% to 7.28% respectively after tax. These rates were estimated by considering the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for these assets.
Additionally, it should be noted that the most significant valuation adjustment in 2024 was the EUR 1,323 million pre-tax and minority interests in onshore renewable energy assets in the United States, resulting in a sum of EUR 802 million after tax and minority interests. An updated estimate of the fair value of these assets was made in 2025. No additional adjustment to the valuation adjustment recorded the previous year was made as a result of this valuation.
The recoverable amount of the United States onshore renewable energy assets, similar to the book value, amounts to EUR 8,987 million and corresponds to their fair value minus selling costs. This amount was obtained following the same method as in the previous year, by discounting after-tax cash flows for the next 20 years for a market participant and a terminal value of 11 times the normalised cash flow of the last year, discounted at an after-tax rate of 6.62% (6.43% in 2024), estimated based on a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) corresponding to this business. The cash flows have been estimated based on the same assumptions as in the previous year, taking into account factors (production, sales price, investment, operating and maintenance costs, tax incentives) reflecting the best estimate of future trends in the sector and drawing on historical data and both internal and external sources. As in the previous year, the recoverable amount exceeds the value in use because the fair value incorporates certain assumptions about estimated cash flows that cannot be included in the value in use, such as the immediate monetisation of tax incentives, despite the fact that the discount rate is somewhat higher.

Sensitivity analysis
The IBERDROLA Group has performed several sensitivity analyses of the impairment test results carried out in a systematic way including reasonable changes in a series of basic assumptions defined for each cash-generating unit (or groups of cash generating units) that have goodwill assigned to them:
- Electricity and gas retail supply in the United Kingdom and Brazil:
- Decrease of 10% in the unit margin.
- No increase in the electricity and gas customer base.
-
Increase of 10% in investment costs.
-
Electricity transmission and distribution in the United Kingdom, the United States and Brazil:
- Decrease of 10% in rate of return on which regulated remuneration is based.
- Increase of 10% in operating and maintenance costs.
-
Decrease of 10% in investment (resulting in a subsequent decrease in remuneration).
-
Renewable energies in the United Kingdom, the United States, Brazil, Australia and France:
- Decrease of 5% in produced energy.
- Decrease of 10% in total price per kWh, solely applicable to production for which there are no long-term sales agreements.
- Increase of 10% in operating and maintenance costs.
- Increase of 10% in investment costs.
The IBERDROLA Group has also conducted an additional sensitivity analysis, in which it raised the applicable discount rate in the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia and France by 50 basis points and in Brazil by 100 basis points.
The sensitivity analyses performed on the key assumptions, considered individually, do not reveal the existence of any significant impairment, except in the onshore and offshore renewable energy assets in the United States, whose recoverable amount, after the valuation adjustments recognised in 2024 and 2025, is similar to their carrying amount and, therefore, any change would result in an additional impairment adjustment.

Electricity North West Limited (ENW)
In March 2025, once the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) had completed its review of the transaction, the IBERDROLA Group took control of ENW (Note 7).
Vineyard Wind offshore wind farm
The IBERDROLA Group, through the company Vineyard Wind 1 is continuing to develop a large-scale offshore wind farm off the coast of Massachusetts, in the United States. The IBERDROLA Group contributed a total of EUR 97 million in 2025 and EUR 397 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively.
In May 2025, the Capital Contribution Agreement was amended to allow, among other things, shareholders to provide financial support for the Vineyard Wind 1 project, either through capital contributions or by granting loans to the project. The capital contribution of EUR 97 million made by the IBERDROLA Group has been converted into a receivable loan. In addition, the IBERDROLA Group has granted additional loans for EUR 176 million. These transactions represented the repayment of the IBERDROLA Group's equity investment (see Note 50).
Moreover, on 24 October 2023, Vineyard Wind 1 closed a Tax Equity Financing agreement, under which Vineyard Wind 1 is expected to receive approximately USD 1,200 million from tax equity investors (Note 6.d). Disbursements are made monthly up to 20% of the total amount depending on the number of turbines that reach, or are about to reach, final installation, until the entire project reaches the date of commercial operation, whereupon the remaining 80% will be received. As at 31 December 2025, Vineyard Wind 1 had received USD 241 million; the remainder is expected to be received in 2026. Coupled with the disbursements received since the closing of the deal, guarantees have been issued on our percentage share of investors' contributions. At 31 December 2025 and 2024, the total amount of those guarantees stood at USD 121 million and USD 54 million, respectively.
Meanwhile, on 22 December 2025, the Acting Director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) issued a Director's Order to Vineyard Wind 1 LLC suspending all ongoing activities related to the Vineyard Wind 1 Project for a period of 90 days on grounds of national security. While BOEM and DoW endeavour to determine viable mitigation measures within this 90-day period following the date of the Order, BOEM may look to extend the 90-day suspension period depending on how those discussions progress.
On 15 January 2026, Vineyard Wind filed a legal challenge against the suspension order issued by the BOEM. On 27 January 2026, the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts issued a ruling allowing Vineyard Wind to restart operations by authorising the resumption of construction at Vineyard Wind 1 while the proceedings are ongoing.
The project is partially generating power with 49 of the 62 turbines in operation. With regard to construction, as of the date of issue of these financial statements, all 62 towers and nacelles have been installed, with the installation of six rotors still pending.
The Order explicitly allows power generation to continue and, accordingly, the instructions issued do not affect the operation of the wind farm.

Collection rights in Brazil
The "Collection rights in Brazil" heading relates to receivables by the Brazilian companies upon termination of their service concession arrangements. Law 12.783/13 provides that such indemnification must be determined by the replacement value (Valor Novo de Reposição, VNR) of the concession assets which have not been amortised by the end of the concession period, using the residual value of the Asset regulatory base (Base de Remuneração Regulatória, BRR) at the end of the concession agreement.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 92
The methodology established by the regulator enables reasonable estimates to be made of the amounts to be collected at the end of the concession, to the extent that the granting government protects the value of the Regulatory Asset Base once each ordinary tariff review has been passed. These ordinary reviews are conducted every four or five years, depending on the concession. This means that after the regulator has conducted a tariff review, the value of the Regulatory Asset Base prior to that date is modified by the Brazilian Large Consumers Prices General Index (Índice Nacional de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo (IPCA). The next tariff review will determine the value of the regulatory asset base only with regard to additions in the interval between two tariff reviews.
To estimate the amount of the financial asset, observable values are used. Specifically, the net replacement value, as calculated by the energy regulator in the course of the latest tariff review. The amount is updated in the intervals between tariff reviews by additions to the underlying fixed assets or, as the case may be, any changes in the method of calculation of the net realizable value and the IPCAM.
Non-current deposits and guarantees
“Non-current deposits and guarantees” essentially corresponds to the portion of guarantees and deposits received from customers at the time their contracts are arranged as security of electricity supply (recorded under the “Non-current financial liabilities — Other non-current financial liabilities” heading of the consolidated statement of financial position — Note 33) and have been filed with the competent public authorities in accordance with the current legislation in Spain.
Receivable for financing the system imbalance
Law 24/2013, on the electricity sector, states that if an imbalance occurs due to revenue shortfalls in the settlement of the electricity sector, the amount may not exceed 2% of the estimated revenue of the system for that year. Further, the accumulated debt due to imbalances from previous years may not exceed 5% of the estimated revenue of the system. If these limits are exceeded, access tariffs will be reviewed at least in an amount equivalent to the total excess beyond those limits. This law also states that the part of the imbalance due to revenue shortfalls which, without exceeding these limits, is not compensated by increasing tariffs and charges, will be temporarily financed by the subjects of the settlement system in proportion to the remuneration pertaining to them for the activities they perform.
The final settlement of the Spanish electricity system for 2024, as estimated in that year, presented a shortfall which was offset by unused surpluses from previous years. In 2025, IBERDROLA Group estimated that the final settlement of the Spanish electricity system would again present a shortfall, which would also be offset by unused surpluses from previous years. The deficit financed by the IBERDROLA Group at 31 December 2025 and 2024 amounts to EUR 22 million and EUR 6 million, respectively.
At 31 December 2025 and 2024, a total of EUR 232 million and EUR 162 million, respectively, was subject to a factoring agreement involving the non-recourse assignment of receivables. As a result, this amount was derecognised from the consolidated statement of financial position at 31 December 2025 and 2024.
The deficit financed by the IBERDROLA Group at 31 December 2024 was collected in 2025.

PIS/COFINS Brazil
In September 2019, the Brazilian federal government issued a favourable decision for NEOENERGIA COSERN and NEOENERGIA COELBA regarding the recognition of the credit right related to unduly paid amounts for including the Operações relativas à Circulação de Mercadorias e Prestação de Serviços de Transporte Interestadual e Intermunicipal e de Comunicação (ICMS) tax in the calculation base for Programas de Integração Social (PIS) and the Contribuição para Financiamento da Seguridade Social (COFINS). A decision upholding NEOENERGIA PERNAMBUCO's claim was handed down in December 2020.
As a result, the IBERDROLA Group recognises receivables due to the exclusion of the ICMS from the tax base credited to payables under "Other non-current financial liabilities" of the consolidated statement of financial position (Note 33), on the understanding that the tax credit would be passed on to end customers in accordance with the legal and regulatory rules in the Brazilian electricity sector, although it would not be paid in the short term. The current balance of the account receivable was recognised under "Current trade and other receivables — Other public administration receivables" in the consolidated statement of financial position (Note 36).

17. Measurement and netting of financial instruments
With the exception of financial derivative instruments, most of the financial assets and liabilities registered in the consolidated statements of financial position correspond to the financial instruments classified at amortised cost.
The fair value of "Bank borrowings, bonds and other marketable securities" under current and non-current liabilities in IBERDROLA Group's consolidated statement of financial position at 31 December 2025 and 2024 amounted to EUR 54,001 million and EUR 53,971 million, with the carrying amount being EUR 54,090 million and EUR 54,390 million, respectively. This valuation belongs to Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair value of the remaining financial instruments does not differ significantly from their carrying amount.
The IBERDROLA Group measures equity instruments and derivative financial instruments at fair value, provided they can be measured reliably, classifying them into three levels:
- Level 1: assets and liabilities listed in liquid markets.
- Level 2: assets and liabilities whose fair value has been determined by employing valuation techniques that use assumptions observable in the market.
- Level 3: assets and liabilities whose fair value has been determined by employing valuation techniques that do not use assumptions observable in the market.
The levels of derivative financial instruments recognised at their fair value are as follows, expressed in millions of euros:
| 31.12.2025 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Derivative financial instruments (financial assets) | 1,632 | 42 | 1,230 | 360 |
| Derivative financial instruments (financial liabilities) | (1,998) | (1) | (1,524) | (473) |
| TOTAL (Note 30) | (366) | 41 | (294) | (113) |
| 31.12.2024 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Derivative financial instruments (financial assets) | 2,180 | 21 | 1,576 | 583 |
| Derivative financial instruments (financial liabilities) | (1,991) | (2) | (1,256) | (733) |

Below is the reconciliation of the opening and closing balances for derivative financial instruments classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, expressed in millions of euros.
| Derivative financial instruments | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Opening balance | (150) | (150) |
| Income and expense recognised in the consolidated income statement | 22 | (5) |

| Sales and settlements | 31 | 8 |
| Translation differences | 14 | (7) |
| Transfers and other | (5) | 0 |
| Closing balance | (113) | (150) |
The fair value of Level 3-classified financial instruments has been determined using the discounted cash flow method. Projections of these cash flows are based on assumptions not observable in the market, and mainly correspond to purchase and sale price estimates that the Group normally uses, based on its experience in the markets in which it operates.
None of the possible foreseeable scenarios of the assumptions given would result in a material change in the fair value of the financial instruments classified at this level.
In addition, the IBERDROLA Group’s financial assets and liabilities are offset and presented net on the consolidated statement of financial position when a legally enforceable right exists to offset the amounts recognised and the Group intends to settle the assets and liabilities net or simultaneously. The breakdown of netted financial assets and liabilities at 31 December 2025 and 2024 is as follows (in millions of euros):

18. Assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations
At 31 December 2025 and 2024, certain transactions met the requirements set out in IFRS 5 — Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations for classification as such in the consolidated statement of financial position. The assets and liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position are reclassified to a separate line item after eliminating intercompany balances.
At 31 December 2024, the following stakes were classified as “Assets held for sale” and “Liabilities held for sale”:
- the stake held by the IBERDROLA Group in Geração Céu Azul S.A., which held a 70% interest in the Baixo Iguaçu power plant, with an installed capacity of 350.2 MW, recognised at EUR 246 million and EUR 84 million, respectively, as at 31 December 2024. The agreement for the purchase and sale of all the shares in the company’s share capital was ultimately signed on 30 June 2025 (Note 7).

Perpetual subordinated bonds
In October 2025, Iberdrola Finanzas, S.A. determined the price, terms and conditions for the issuance of subordinated perpetual bonds to be secured by IBERDROLA, for a total amount of EUR 1,000 million. The issuance was structured in a single tranche, at a price equivalent to 100% of its nominal value, with a 3.75% coupon and a par call option exercisable five years and nine months from the issue date.
On 7 January 2025, Iberdrola International, B.V. decided to repurchase an issuance of perpetual subordinated bonds, originally issued in 2019, for a total amount of EUR 800 million. The buyback ultimately took place on 7 February 2025.
In November 2024, Iberdrola Finanzas, S.A. set the price, terms and conditions for the issuance of subordinated perpetual bonds secured by IBERDROLA, for a total amount of EUR 800 million. The issuance was structured in a single tranche, at a price equivalent to 100% of its nominal value, with a 4.247% coupon and a par call option exercisable five years and six months from the issue date.
On 21 February 2024, Iberdrola International, B.V. decided to repurchase an issuance of perpetual subordinated bonds, originally issued in 2018, for a total amount of EUR 700 million. The buyback ultimately took place on 22 March 2024.
In January 2024, Iberdrola Finanzas, S.A. set the price, terms and conditions for the issuance of subordinated perpetual bonds secured by IBERDROLA, for a total amount of EUR 700 million. The issuance was structured in a single tranche, at a price equivalent to 99.997% of its nominal value, with a 4.871% coupon and a par call option exercisable seven years from the issue date.
Under all the aforementioned issues, the issuer has the option to defer interest payments on the bonds, provided that certain circumstances are met and without this constituting a breach event. The deferred interest would be cumulative. The issuer may also redeem the bonds on certain specified dates or in certain events provided for in the corresponding terms and conditions.
These bonds have no contractual maturity date. After analysing these conditions, the IBERDROLA Group recognises the cash received with a credit to "Non-controlling interests" included in equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, as it considers that they do not meet the relevant conditions to qualify as financial liabilities, since the IBERDROLA Group does not have a contractual commitment to deliver cash and the circumstances that oblige it to do so –delivery of dividends and exercise of its early redemption option– are entirely under its control.
Total interest paid in 2025 and 2024 amounted to EUR 240 million and EUR 207 million, respectively. Meanwhile, interest accrued in 2025 and 2024 amounted to EUR 231 million and EUR 221 million, respectively, as recognised under "Other reserves" in the consolidated statement of financial position.
The IBERDROLA Group had outstanding subordinated perpetual bonds worth EUR 9,250 million and EUR 9,050 million at 31 December 2025 and 2024, respectively.

SCOTTISH POWER's own shares correspond to the matching shares held by the trust in the Share Incentive Plan (Note 23.1).
In 2025 and 2024, treasury shares held by the IBERDROLA Group were always below the relevant legal limits.
(b) Physically settled derivatives
The IBERDROLA Group recognises these transactions directly in equity under the “Treasury shares” heading and records the obligation to purchase said shares under the “Bank borrowings, bonds and other marketable securities” heading in current liabilities of the consolidated statement of financial position.
Total return swaps
The IBERDROLA Group has swaps on treasury shares in which it pays the financial entity the 3-month Euribor/EUROSTR plus a spread on the underlying notional and will receive the corresponding dividends with respect to the shares paid out to the financial entity over the life of the contract. On the expiration date IBERDROLA will buy the shares at the strike price set out in the contract.
The characteristics of these contracts at 31 December 2025 and 2024 are as follows:
| 2025 | No. of shares at | Strike price | Expiry date | Interest rate | Millions of euros |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total return swap | 10,000,000 | 11.893 | 22/07/2026 | Euribor 3M + 0.47% | 119 |

| Total | 13,212,427 | 143 |
Accumulators
The IBERDROLA Group uses share purchase accumulators over its own shares. These accumulators are forward purchase obligations with zero notional at inception, under which the number of shares to be accumulated depends on the spot price on a series of observation dates over the life of the options, which in this case are daily. A strike price and a level, or barrier, are set, above which the structure is deactivated and ceases to accumulate shares.
The accumulation mechanism operates as follows:
- when the spot price is below the structure's strike price, two units of the underlying are accumulated;
- when the spot price is between the strike price and the barrier, only one unit of the underlying asset is accumulated; and
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 118
- when the spot price is above the barrier, no accumulation takes place.
At 31 December 2024, the IBERDROLA Group had no accumulators in place. The characteristics of these contracts at 31 December 2025 are as follows:
| 2025 | No. of shares | Average price in the period | Expiry date | Millions of euros |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Realised | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
| Maximum potential (1) | 1,444,792 | 17,764 | 19/06/2026 | 26 |
(1) Maximum number of additional shares that could be accumulated under the mechanism described up to the maturity of the structures (assuming that the spot price over the remaining life of the structure remains below the strike price at all times).
- Sold put with physical settlement
The IBERDROLA Group has sold put options on treasury shares that grant the counterparty the option to sell these shares on the expiry date at the strike price set in the contract.
The characteristics of these contracts at 31 December 2025 and 2024 are as follows:
| 2025 | No. of shares | Average price in the period | Expiry date | Millions of euros (1) |

(1) The amount is presented net of premiums received of EUR 20 million as at 31 December 2025 and EUR 10 million as at 31 December 2024.
Distribution of dividends charged to 2025 profit
The Board of Directors of IBERDROLA has agreed to propose to the General Shareholders’ Meeting the payment, out of earnings for 2025 and retained earnings from previous years, a dividend the aggregate gross amount of which will be equal to the sum of the following amounts:
(a) the EUR 275 million that was paid out as an interim dividend for 2025 on 31 January 2026 to the holders of 1,088,096,797 IBERDROLA shares who chose to receive their remuneration in cash under the second application of the optional Iberdrola Retribución Flexible optional dividend system for 2025 and therefore received EUR 0.253, gross, per share (the Interim Dividend); and
(b) the amount to be determined by multiplying:
(i) the gross amount per share that the Company will pay as a final dividend for 2025, as part of the first-time application of the Iberdrola Retribución Flexible optional dividend system for 2026 (Final Dividend); by
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 119
(ii) the total number of shares upon which the holders have opted to receive the Final Dividend within the framework of the first application of the Iberdrola Retribución Flexible optional dividend system for 2026.
As at the date of authorisation of these consolidated financial statements, it is not possible to determine the amount of the Final dividend or, consequently, the amount of the dividend chargeable to 2025 earnings.
The Final Dividend will be paid together with the implementation of the bonus issue that the Board of Directors will propose to the General Shareholders’ Meeting, to offer the shareholders the possibility of receiving their remuneration in cash (through the payment of the Final Dividend) or in the newly-issued scrip shares of the Company (through the aforementioned bonus issue).
Payment of the Final Dividend will be one of the alternatives that a shareholder may choose when receiving their remuneration under the first-time application of the Iberdrola Retribución Flexible optional dividend system for 2026, which will be carried out through the aforementioned scrip issue.
Subject to shareholder approval at the General Shareholders’ Meeting of the resolutions relating to the Iberdrola Retribución Flexible optional dividend system for 2026, the gross amount of the Final dividend is estimated to be EUR 0.427 per share. The final amount of the Final dividend will be disclosed as soon as the Board of Directors (or the body to which it delegates this power) makes its decision in accordance with the terms of the dividend distribution and capital increase resolution that the Board of Directors will propose to the shareholders at the General Shareholders’ Meeting in relation to the Iberdrola Retribución Flexible optional dividend system for 2026. Additionally, once the first-time application of the Iberdrola Retribución Flexible optional dividend system for 2026 is completed, the Board of Directors (with express power of substitution) will specify the aforementioned distribution proposal and determine the final amount of the dividend and the amount to be allocated to retained earnings.

24. Equity instruments having the substance of a financial liability
In the United States, the IBERDROLA Group has signed several contracts that have brought in third parties as non-controlling interests at some of its wind farms, receiving cash in exchange for these arrangements.
The main characteristics of these contracts are as follows:
- The IBERDROLA Group retains the control and management of the wind farms, regardless of the interest acquired by the non-controlling interests. Accordingly, they are fully consolidated in these consolidated financial statements.
- The non-controlling interests have the right to a substantial portion of the profits and tax credits generated by these wind farms up to the return level established at the beginning of the contract.
- The non-controlling interests remain in the equity of the wind farms until they achieve the stipulated returns.
- Once these returns have been obtained, the non-controlling interests must renounce their stake in the wind farms, thus losing their right to the profits and tax credits generated.
- Whether or not the non-controlling interests of the IBERDROLA Group obtain the agreed upon returns depends on the economic performance of the wind farms. Although the IBERDROLA Group is obliged to operate and maintain these facilities in an efficient manner and to take out the appropriate insurance policies, it is not obliged to deliver cash to the non-controlling interests over and above the aforementioned profits and tax credits.
Following an analysis of the economic substance of these agreements, the IBERDROLA Group classifies the consideration received at the outset of the transaction under the "Non-current equity instruments having the substance of a financial liability" and "Current equity instruments having the substance of a financial liability" headings of the consolidated statement of financial position. Subsequently, this consideration is measured at amortised cost.
At 31 December 2025 and 2024, the amount shown in this heading accrued an average interest in USD of 7.95% and 7.66% respectively.

27.a) Defined benefit plans and other non-current employee benefits
Spain
IBERDROLA Group's main commitments to providing defined benefits for its employees in Spain, in addition to those provided by Social Security, are as follows:
- Employees subject to the IBERDROLA Group's Collective Bargaining Agreement who retired before 9 October 1996 are covered by a defined benefit retirement pension scheme, the actuarial value of which was fully externalised at 31 December 2025 and 2024.
IBERDROLA Group has no liability of any kind for this segment of employees and has no claim on any potential excess generated in the assets of this plan above and beyond the defined benefits.
-
Also, in relation to serving employees and employees who have retired after 1996 and are subject to the Iberdrola Group's Collective Bargaining Agreement and members/beneficiaries of the Iberdrola Pension Plan, risk benefits (e.g. widowhood, permanent disability or orphanhood) which guarantee a defined benefit at the time the event giving rise to such benefits occurs, are instrumented through a multi-year insurance policy. The guaranteed benefit consists of the difference between the present actuarial value of the above mentioned defined benefit at the time of the event and the member's vested rights at the time the event was processed, if the latter were lower. The premiums on the insurance policy for 2025 and 2024 are recognised under "Personnel expenses" in the consolidated income statement and amounted to EUR 6 million and EUR 3 million, respectively.
-
IBERDROLA also maintains a provision to cover certain commitments with its employees other than those indicated above. These further commitments are covered by internal funds linked to social security benefits, consisting mainly of free electricity supply, with an annual consumption limit, for retired employees and other long-term benefits, primarily consisting of a long-service bonus for active employees at 10, 20 and 30 years of service.
United Kingdom
The main pension commitments held by the IBERDROLA Group with its employees in the United Kingdom are as follows:
-
Employees from SCOTTISH POWER who joined before 1 April 2006 are guaranteed a defined benefit upon retirement, the exact nature of which depends on the employee's company and length of service:
-
Scottish Power Pension Scheme (SPPS). Own scheme set up on 31 March 1990 for personnel legally protected under the Electricity Protected Act or otherwise protected by regulation. In 1999, the "Final Salary Life Plan (FSLP)" section was created for new entrants. On 1 April 2006 it was closed to new entrants.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 129
-
Manweb Group of Electricity Supply Pension Scheme (Manweb) Sectoral scheme set up on 1 April 1983 as part of the “Electricity Supply Pension Scheme” (ESPS) (currently with 21 promoters) for personnel legally protected under the Electricity Protected Act or otherwise protected by regulations. On 6 April 1997 it was closed to new entrants.
-
In the case of active employees covered by one of the aforementioned defined benefit plans, their risk benefits (death, widowhood and orphanhood), which guarantee a defined benefit from the time the triggering event occurs, have been assured through a multi-year insurance policy. A benefit equal to the actuarial present value of the defined benefit at the time of the contingency is guaranteed. The risk benefit for active employees adhered to the defined contribution plan is also assured through a multi-year insurance policy. A benefit equal to four times the employee’s salary is guaranteed.
-
The longevity risk has been hedged by arranging a longevity swap for former employees (SPPS plan in December 2014 and Manweb plan in July 2016).
-
One-off capital sums have been offered to pensioners and deferred beneficiaries, reducing the defined benefit burden.
-
A Pension Increase Exchange (PIE) exercise was carried out in 2018, whereby SPPS plan members were able to exchange part of their inflation-linked increasing pension for a higher initial amount, thus reducing the obligation and deficit under that plan.
-
The benefits of the deferred segment of the “Final Salary Life Plan (FSLP)” section of the SPPS plan were modified in 2021, thus reducing the obligations.
In March 2025, control of ENW was obtained following completion by the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) of its review of the transaction (Note 7).
-
ENW employees whose joined the company prior to 1 September 2006 are guaranteed a defined benefit retirement benefit based on their length of service:
-
Electricity North West Group of the Electricity Supply Pension Scheme (ENW): Sectoral scheme set up on 20 January 1983 as part of the “Electricity Supply Pension Scheme” (ESPS) (currently with 21 promoters) for personnel legally protected under the Electricity Protected Act or otherwise protected by regulations.
-
ENW had implemented various risk mitigation (de-risking) and hedging strategies:
-
In October 2019, it entered into a pensioner buy-in agreement with an insurance company, covering around 80% of the liabilities relating to the plan’s pensioners at that time. This buy-in asset currently accounts for 44.8% of the Plan’s total assets as at 31 December 2025. This transaction had the effect of eliminating the longevity and investment risks associated with the liabilities relating to this portion of the member population.
-
In 2021, it carried out a Pension Increase Exchange (PIE) exercise.

- One-off capital sums have been offered to pensioners and deferred beneficiaries, reducing the defined benefit burden.

Brazil
On 27 August 2011, the IBERDROLA Group acquired a controlling stake in ELEKTRO. ELEKTRO's employees were covered by a defined benefit pension plan covering their eventual retirement.
On 24 August 2017 NEOENERGIA was acquired through the incorporation of ELEKTRO. ELEKTRO, CELPE, COELBA and COSERN employees are covered by several defined benefit retirement schemes. COELBA employees are also covered by a post-employment health plan.
The takeover of CEB Distribuição was completed on 2 March 2021. CEB Distribuição has been renamed Neoenergia Distribuição Brasília. The distributor Neoenergia Distribuição Brasília operates two defined benefit plans (one of which is frozen).
The main pension commitments held by the IBERDROLA Group with its employees in Brazil are as follows:
- ELEKTRO runs a mixed pension plan (70% of salary as defined benefit and 30% as defined contribution).
- The distributors CELPE, COELBA and COSERN operate a defined benefit plan.
- Distributor company Neoenergia Distribuição Brasília operates two defined benefit plans.
In addition, for active employees covered by ELEKTRO's defined benefit plan, its risk benefits (death and disability) guarantee a defined benefit as soon as they occur.
In some cases, the triggering event is instrumented through a multi-year insurance policy. The beneficiary is guaranteed to receive an insurance benefit equivalent to the actuarial present value, at the time of the contingency, of the benefit defined in the plan.
For active employees covered by defined-contribution plans (AD CELPE, AD COELBA, AD COSERN, AD NEOS), their risk benefits (death and disability) are also covered by multi-year insurance policies. An equivalent benefit is guaranteed to the employee or his or her dependant.
The value of the benefit is equal to the value of the future contributions to be made to the plan until the theoretical retirement age is reached.
Other commitments with employees
In addition, some IBERDROLA Group companies have provisions to meet certain commitments with their employees, other than those described above, which are met by in-house pension funds.

(1) Due to the non-recognition of the surplus, actuarial deviations recorded against reserves were adjusted upwards and downwards in 2025 and 2024 for amounts of EUR 17 million and 83 million, respectively. This was in accordance with current regulations under IFRIC 14: “IAS 19 – The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction”. Moreover, in 2025 and 2024, and for the same concept, the finance expenses recognised were raised by EUR 12 million and EUR 4 million, respectively.

The strategic distribution of pension plans investments is supported by periodic specific Asset Liability Management studies for each of the plans. This guarantees the match with the funding policy and the expected time to fully finance the commitment in accordance with flows resulting therefrom. Those studies provide the level of sensitivity to the different expected rates of return on the assets and discount rate on obligations. It also guarantees that plans are adequately funded while recovering regulated cash flows. There are also prudential investment rules applicable to pensions within the scope of the Group.
Assets managed at global level have been progressively switched to passive management. Provisions for death and permanent disability have been covered with pension plans through insurance policies and managing entities and investment assets have been qualified through independent third parties, resulting in investments with lower liquidity. Additionally, in the United Kingdom, longevity risk has been hedged through the use of swaps and inflation risk has been partially hedged.
Defined benefit pension plan arrangements at the Group
United Kingdom
The schemes are approved by HMRC and subject to UK pension and tax legislation. Defined benefit plans are subject to the funding requirements set out in Section 224 of the Pensions Act 2004. As required, an actuarial valuation of funding is carried out every three years to determine the appropriate level of both the ongoing contributions for future service and the recovery plan in relation to the deficit existing at the valuation date. These actuarial valuations will be based on assumptions agreed between the Trustees and the Company. The assumptions used to calculate the obligations (or technical provisions) in a triennial funding valuation may differ from those used in year-end valuations under IAS 19 "Employee Benefits". The Trustees are required to establish a set of assumptions prudently (no level of risk), whereas the valuation assumptions under IAS 19 are made with respect to the Company's best estimate. In addition, the discount rate used to value the technical provision in the triennial valuation will take account of the investment strategy, rather than being based on the "AA" corporate bond curve as required under IAS 19.

The triennial funding valuation exercises as at 31 March 2024 for SPPS and Manweb were completed during the period:
- For SPPS, following an improvement in its funding position, a new contribution schedule was agreed with the Trustee in December 2024, suspending employer contributions from 1 January 2025 in respect of plan expenses and the future accrual of benefits for active members.
The triennial valuation exercise as at 31 March 2024 was completed on 31 March 2025, confirming that SPPS was fully funded on the technical provisions basis. Accordingly, no deficit contributions were required from the company. The technical provisions also included reserves for expenses and the accrual of future service, and therefore no additional contributions are required from the company, provided that the plan remains adequately funded (to be verified by the plan actuary on a semi-annual basis).
- For Manweb, the triennial valuation exercise was completed on 30 April 2025, confirming a small funding deficit on the technical provisions basis. The company and the Trustee agreed to maintain the annual deficit reduction contributions at their existing levels until 31 March 2028, with a mechanism in place allowing such contributions to be suspended prior to that date if the plan reaches full funding during the interim period (to be verified by the plan actuary on a semi-annual basis).

Contributions in respect of future service were significantly lowered compared with previous levels (from 52.9% to 24.1% of pensionable salary), due to changes in market conditions. The technical provisions also included a reserve for expenses, meaning that no additional contributions are required from the company to cover the plan's operating costs.
As at 30 September 2025, the funding update performed by the plan actuary showed a deficit of EUR 36 million (measured on the technical provisions basis). Accordingly, and in accordance with the thresholds agreed with the Trustee in the funding valuation as at 31 March 2024, a full deficit reduction contribution of EUR 32 million was made in January 2026.
For ENW, the most recent funding valuation was carried out with effect from 31 March 2022 and revealed a funding deficit on the technical provisions basis. To eliminate this deficit, the company and the Trustee agreed to make contributions from March 2022 to March 2023. No additional contributions were required after that date, at least until the next triennial valuation. Since that funding valuation, there has been a significant improvement in the funding level.
Negotiations with the Trustee on the triennial funding valuation with effect from 31 March 2025 are currently ongoing. The preliminary results have shown that the plan remains fully funded. Accordingly, no deficit contributions will be required from the company.
United States
For funding purposes in the United States, in 2025 all defined benefit pension plans were above 80% and no further contributions are required at present. The funding level of each fund is calculated on the basis of assumptions set/negotiated by the Regulator – other than accounting assumptions.
Brazil
The defined benefit pension plans are subject to Brazilian pension and tax legislation. The defined benefit plans are subject to the funding requirements prescribed by local law and regulations. Accordingly, if, after the actuarial valuation, there is a deficit above the level set by the actuarial valuation, a corresponding funding plan is drawn up. In particular:
Neoenergia Brasilia: Following the suspension and closure of the Neoenergia Brasilia plans to new entrants, the existing debts from 2016, 2017, 2018 and the shortfall under the defined benefit developer liability plan were consolidated into a single debt contract. This is updated by inflation (INPC-IBGE index) and a rate equivalent to 5% per year, applied monthly. The debt will be repaid in July 2038. As at 31 December 2025 and 2024, this debt contract amounted to EUR 12.2 million and EUR 13.4 million, respectively.

27.b) Defined contribution plans
Spain
Active employees of IBERDROLA and employees who have retired after 9 October 1996, who are members of the IBERDROLA pension plan with joint sponsors, are covered by an occupational, defined-contribution retirement pension system independent of the Social Security system.
The periodic contribution to be made under this system and the current IBERDROLA Collective Bargaining Agreement is calculated as a percentage of each employee's annual pensionable salary, except for employees who joined after 9 October 1996, in which case contributions are split 75% payable by the company and 25% by the employee, and for employees who joined after 20 July 2015, for whom the company contributes one third of the total contribution, provided that the employee contributes the remaining two thirds, until the date on which it becomes part of the Qualification Base Salary (SBC), whereupon the same criteria applicable to employees who joined after 9 October 1996 will apply. The Company finances these contributions for all of its current employees.
United Kingdom
ScottishPower has a pension scheme in the form of a percentage of each employee's annual pensionable salary. The scheme is optional for employees and is co-funded by the employer and employees:

The Grids business and the Renewables business have separate defined contribution plans ("401(k)") with separate and distinct operating procedures for employees covered by and outside the collective bargaining agreement.
Effective 2 August 2021, the 401(k) plans for salaried employees were merged into the new "Avangrid 401(k) Plan". In addition, effective 1 July 2022, there is only one company contribution formula for employees outside the collective bargaining agreement: 150% of 8%.
The "Avangrid Union 401(k) Plan" has different matching formulas depending on negotiations. Employees can make gross salary and net salary contributions as a percentage of their pensionable compensation, up to 75%. Virtually the entire workforce is eligible to participate in a 401(k) plan. As of 30 December 2022, the "Avangrid Non-Union 401(k) Plan" was merged with the "Avangrid Union 401(k) Plan" and renamed the "Avangrid 401(k) Plan". With effect from 1 January 2023, employees can make after-tax salary contributions in addition to gross salary and net salary contributions.
Brazil
The Neoenergia Group offers defined contribution plans. The Group is in the process of migrating to a single defined contribution plan (Neos), available to all employees at any Group company.

27.c) Restructuring plans
Given the interest shown by some of the employees in requesting early retirement, IBERDROLA Group has offered these employees the mutually agreed termination of the employment relationship, thus carrying out a process of individual termination contracts in Spain. At 31 December 2025 and 2024, provisions in this regard pertain to the following restructuring plans (in millions of euros):
| 31.12.2025 | 31.12.2024 | |||

In addition, the IBERDROLA Group has provisions for responsibilities arising from litigation in progress and from indemnity payments, obligations, collateral and other similar guarantees, and those aimed at covering environmental risks. The latter have been determined using a case-by-case analysis of the polluted assets status and the cost that will have to be incurred in cleaning them.
The IBERDROLA Group also maintains provisions to meet a series of costs needed for decommissioning at its nuclear and thermal power plants, its wind farms, and at other facilities.
The cost arising from decommissioning obligations is recalculated on a regular basis to incorporate how reasonable future cost estimates may be on past decommissioning carried out, or to include new bylaw or regulatory requirements.
The breakdown of provisions for plant closure costs is as follows (in millions of euros):
| 31.12.2025 | 31.12.2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Nuclear power plants | 606 | 603 |

| Other facilities | 54 | 61 |
| Right-of-use assets | 12 | 14 |
| Total | 2,331 | 2,426 |
The amount related to nuclear plants covers the costs which the plant operator will incur from the end of its useful life until ENRESA (Note 3.q) takes control of them.
The discount rates (minimum and maximum range) before taxes of the main countries in which the IBERDROLA Group operates used in the present value of the operating provisions are as follows:
| Country | Currency | Discount rate 2025 | Discount rate 2024 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Certain Group investment projects, mainly related to renewable energies, have been financed specifically through loans that include covenants such as the compliance with certain financial ratios or the obligation to pledge in benefit of creditors the shares of the project-companies (Note 46). The outstanding balance of this loan type at 31 December 2025 and 2024 was EUR 992 million and EUR 1,164 million, respectively. These loans also require that a deposit be set aside for the fulfilment of obligations under the loan agreements. If the ratios are not met and/or the security deposit does not reach the agreed amount, it is impossible to distribute dividends in the year in which they are not met.
At 31 December 2025, there were bond issuances denominated in pounds sterling in the US market amounting to EUR 737 million, secured by a pledge of shares (Note 46).
With respect to the clauses relating to credit ratings, the IBERDROLA Group had arranged financial transactions at 31 December 2025 and 2024 amounting to EUR 6,588 million and EUR 7,192 million, respectively. These arrangements would require renegotiation of their cost or additional guarantees in the event of a rating downgrade (if such a downgrade were to occur in the manner set out in each contract).
In addition, at 31 December 2025 there were bonds issued, borrowings and other agreements between financial institutions and the IBERDROLA Group whose maturity dates could be impacted or may require additional collateral or guarantees to those already existing should a control change take place in the manner and subject to the timeframes stipulated in each contract. The most significant changes are those described in the following paragraphs:
- Bond issuances amounting to EUR 13,579 million in various currencies in the European, United States and Australian markets.
- Loans arranged with the EIB and the ICO in various currencies, which together amount to EUR 5,809 million, bank loans in various currencies amounting to EUR 1,551 million, and loans with development banks in various currencies amounting to EUR 3,544 million.

The information presented in the table above includes notional amounts of derivative financial instruments arranged in absolute terms (without offsetting assets and liabilities or purchase and sale positions). This does not reflect the risk assumed by the IBERDROLA Group since this amount only records the basis on which the calculations to settle the derivative are made.
The "Finance expense" heading of the 2025 and 2024 consolidated income statements includes EUR 346 million and EUR 129 million, respectively, in connection with derivatives linked to financial indices that fail to meet the conditions to qualify as hedging instruments or, having met the conditions, are partially ineffective, as explained in Notes 3.k and 44. Moreover, the line item "Finance income" in the consolidated income statements for those years includes EUR 722 million and EUR 107 million, respectively, relating to the items described above (Note 43), including the discontinuation of the hedges that the IBERDROLA Group had put in place to hedge the interest rate and inflation risk associated with the East Anglia 3 project, which resulted in financial income of EUR 277 million in 2025 (Note 7).

Furthermore, the IBERDROLA Group is potentially exposed to future cash outflows that are not reflected in the lease liability measurement mainly due to variable lease payment commitments. During 2025 y 2024, the IBERDROLA Group accrued an amount of EUR 42 and 50 million for variable lease recognised under the “External services” heading of the consolidated income statement. Said amounts correspond mainly to lease rents depending on output and operating income from wind farms located in leased lands.
Expenses in 2025 related to current leases excluded from the scope of IFRS 16 amounted to EUR 19 million, as recognised under “External services” in the consolidated income statement (EUR 16 million in 2024).
No revenues from subleases of the right-of-use assets were obtained in 2025 or 2024.
Operating lessor
The IBERDROLA Group acts as lessor under certain operating leases consisting essentially of the rental of investment property (Note 10) and items of property, plant and equipment. The breakdown by type is as follows (in millions of euros):

Payment deferral agreements with suppliers
In 2025 and 2024, the IBERDROLA Group negotiated the extension of payment periods with certain suppliers (mainly in respect of PP&E) with which the relevant IBERDROLA Group companies operate. In 2025, the average payment period for these suppliers was approximately 214 days (210 days in 2024), with the normal payment period being 34 days (39 days in 2024). As at 31 December 2025 and 2024, the amount drawn amounted to EUR 495 million and EUR 225 million, respectively.
Due to deferrals beyond the normal payment period in the applicable economic environment, the IBERDROLA Group has determined that the original liabilities have been discharged or substantially modified.
Therefore, these balances are reclassified in the consolidated statement of financial position from "Other current financial liabilities – Suppliers of fixed assets" and "Trade payables" to "Other current financial liabilities – Payment deferral agreements with suppliers". The cash flows associated with these payments are included in Cash flows from investing and from operating activities, respectively, in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
Reverse factoring arrangements
The IBERDROLA Group has entered into payment management operations with various credit institutions to enable creditors/suppliers to settle their invoices in advance with a bank. This is a form of reverse factoring with the purpose of providing financing services through which creditors/suppliers can collect payment from a bank prior to the due date of their invoices issued to the IBERDROLA Group.
Under these arrangements, the IBERDROLA Group has no economic interest in whether the creditors/suppliers enter into reverse factoring agreements. The payment terms agreed by the IBERDROLA Group with its creditors/suppliers are not affected by the decision of those creditors/suppliers to opt for early collection under these arrangements.
At 31 December 2025, the amount paid by the credit institutions amounted to EUR 53 million in relation to the liability classified under the heading "Trade payables" and EUR 456 million in relation to the liability classified under the heading "Other current financial liabilities – Payment deferral agreements with suppliers".

Income tax
Due to the multinational nature of the IBERDROLA Group, it is subject to the regulations in force in other tax jurisdictions.
Taxes in Spain
Iberdrola S.A. is the parent company of two tax consolidation groups in Spain: group 2/86 for the whole of Spain and group 02415BSC in the independently taxed province of Bizkaia, of which the parent company itself is a member.
Group 2/86 consists of 98 companies, while group 02415BSC consists of 23 companies.
The other entities resident in Spain that do not form part of either of the two aforementioned groups form part of Group 453/22, whose parent company is Energías Renovables Ibermap, S.L. (comprising 11 companies); Group 581/24, whose parent company is Energías Renovables Romeo, S.L. (comprising three companies), or otherwise pay corporate income tax on an individual basis.
Companies taxed under the common tax system were subject to a 25% rate in 2025, while in the fiscally autonomous Basque Country, it was 24%.
Taxation in other countries
Other Group companies located outside Spain are subject to the income tax rate applicable in their respective countries of residence. In the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Australia, Italy, Portugal and Germany, companies that qualify apply a joint taxation regime. In other jurisdictions, group entities with a tax presence are taxed individually.
The nominal tax rates applicable in jurisdictions where the IBERDROLA Group operates are as follows, based on OECD data and including both federal/general and, where relevant, state/local rates.

Minimum Global Tax – Supplementary Tax
As a large multinational group, the IBERDROLA Group is subject to the Global Anti-Base Erosion (GloBE) Model Rules (Pillar Two). These were approved by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)/G20 in the context of the Inclusive Framework on BEPS (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting) on 14 December 2021. The plan was endorsed by, among many others, the EU Member States.
Under these model rules, the Group is required to pay a top-up tax on profits earned in any tax jurisdiction where its effective tax rate, calculated at the jurisdictional level and in accordance with the rules, is lower than a minimum of 15%.
Legislation implementing the model rules has been approved in many jurisdictions in which IBERDROLA is present.
In Spain, where the group's ultimate parent company is located, Council Directive (EU) 2022/2523 of 15 December 2022 has been incorporated into national law, particularly affecting IBERDROLA through Law 7/2024, of 20 December, and the Provincial Law of the Historical Territory of Bizkaia 6/2025, of 12 December.
According to these regulations, the first year in which the new minimum global taxation obligations applied to the IBERDROLA Group was 2024, and the Group was subject to Biscayan regional regulations (although the regulations contained in Law 7/2024 applied to the Group on an interim basis in 2024, pending final agreement of the tax). The self-assessment tax return for this initial period is due in July 2026.
The Group has assessed the impact of global minimum taxation regulations based on its latest tax returns, country-by-country report, and the financial statements of its constituent entities. As a result of this valuation, IBERDROLA does not expect a significant economic impact from the application of the model rules in 2024 and 2025. This results from the alternative or simultaneous existence of the following circumstances in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates: an effective tax rate equal to or higher than that established under the minimum taxation rules; substantial presence of personnel and property, plant and equipment implying the exclusion of income subject to minimum taxation; or insignificant amounts of income and profits. As a result, the consolidated income statement for 2025 does not include any impact on current income tax expense arising from this regulation.
The "Income Tax" section of this note includes a list of the jurisdictions where IBERDROLA operates, along with information on whether they have an approved Domestic Top-up Tax.
There are currently widespread uncertainties about the impact of the GloBE rules on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of entities subject to the rules, so the amendments to IAS 12 — Income Taxes issued in May 2023 by the IASB to bring it into line with the model rules provide for a temporary exception to the new requirements of IAS 12 — Income Taxes In this respect. The IBERDROLA Group has applied this temporary exception in its 2025 financial statements.
Administrative proceedings
Among its principles, IBERDROLA seeks to build stronger ties with the tax authorities, based on the respect for the law, loyalty, trust, professionalism, collaboration, reciprocation and good faith, notwithstanding any legitimate disputes that may arise due to the interpretation of tax rules. When such disputes do arise, IBERDROLA strives to ensure cooperative dealings with the authorities, in accordance with the principles of transparency and mutual trust.

All IBERDROLA actions have been analysed by its internal and external advisers, both for this year and for preceding years, and these advisers have determined that these actions have been carried out in accordance with the Law and are based on the reasonable interpretation of tax law. The existence of contingent liabilities is also scrutinised. IBERDROLA's general approach is to recognise provisions for tax litigation when it is likely that IBERDROLA will be handed an unfavourable decision or ruling, while no recognition is required when the risk is possible or remote.
Undergoing tax inspections at the reporting date in 2025 depend on the tax law applicable in each country, but no material impacts arising therefrom not included in these financial statements are expected.
Administrative proceedings in Spain
On 25 January 2024, the Tax and Customs Control Unit of the Central Delegation for Large Taxpayers at the State Tax Administration Agency informed Iberdrola, S.A. that it was beginning checks and investigations into the Temporary Energy Tax for 2023. This is in line with Iberdrola's role as the main operator in the energy sector, as stipulated by the resolutions of the National Commission of Markets and Competition dated 10 December 2020, 16 December 2021, and 9 June 2020, referenced in Article 1, section 1 of Law 38/2022.
During the inspection, IBERDROLA was asked to remove certain income from the taxable base. This mainly involved expenses borne by the distributors' retail suppliers for passing on to the end customer, which are similar to those from regulated activities that are tax-exempt. The Company also sought to adjust the self-assessments submitted for this tax, arguing that the regulation establishing and governing it is unconstitutional and breaches European Union law, requesting a refund of all the amounts paid along with the applicable late payment interest. As a result of the audit, a refund of EUR 33 million, plus default interest, was ordered. The revenue associated with this rebate reduced the actual expense for this tax in 2024.
The Temporary Energy Levy expense for 2024 was recorded by already excluding from the tax base the amounts accepted in the inspection report for the 2023 levy.
In January 2025, the Company received notification of the settlement agreement, which confirmed the disputed tax assessment initiated in July 2024. The agreement accepted the request to exclude certain income from the tax base and agreed to refund the amounts paid, including the related interest. However, it denied the request for total rectification, as the Tax Administration determined that it lacks the authority to evaluate whether the rule creating the tax is consistent with domestic and/or EU law, or to submit issues of unconstitutionality to the Constitutional Court or preliminary questions to the Superior Court of Justice. In February 2025, an economic-administrative claim was filed with the Central Tax Appeals Board, and the corresponding submissions were presented in April, with a decision pending at the end of 2025.
IBERDROLA also filed a request for rectification of the self-assessments filed and paid in relation to the levy for the 2024 financial year, similar to that filed for 2023. The rectification procedure initiated following that request concluded upon notification, on 17 March 2025, of the commencement of general verification and investigation proceedings in respect of the 2024 Temporary Energy Levy. In October 2025, a tax assessment decision was notified upholding the disputed tax settlement delivered in June, as the inspection body did not accept the request for rectification of self-assessments made, again arguing that it lacked jurisdiction to assess whether the regulation that created the tax was consistent with the law.

In October 2025, an economic-administrative claim against that decision was filed with the Central Tax Appeals Board, presenting the corresponding submissions in the first days of 2026.
In early May 2024, Iberdrola Energía España S.A. received notification of the commencement of general verification and investigation proceedings concerning the Corporate Tax for fiscal years 2018 to 2020 of Tax Group 2/86, where the company acts as the representative and Iberdrola, S.A. is the parent company.
On the same day, Iberdrola, S.A. was also notified about the initiation of general checks and investigations related to the Value Added Tax of financial years 2018 to 2020 for the group of entities under VAT 0220/08 for the same years, in its role as the group's representative and leading entity.
By the end of 2025, the proceedings relating to these cases had already come to light and are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.
Administrative proceedings in other countries
In those countries where the Group has a significant presence, the main ongoing inspections are as follows:
- In the United States, the AVANGRID Group, given its status as a large taxpayer at both federal and state level, has various tax inspection processes ongoing in relation to several taxes.
- In the United Kingdom, HMRC has classified Scottish Power as a low risk taxpayer. There are currently no general inspection procedures in progress.
- In Mexico, the Mexican tax authority (SAT) began several inspection procedures during 2020 and the following years concerning various companies within the Group.
On 26 February 2024, after obtaining authorisation from the Mexican Federal Economic Competition Commission (COFECE) and satisfying the remaining conditions precedent agreed by the parties, the transaction to transfer electricity generation assets—comprising 12 combined cycle power plants and a wind farm with a total installed capacity of 8,539 MW—to Grupo Financiero Actinver, as trustee, was completed under the Irrevocable Trust Agreement managed by Mexico Infrastructure Partners FF, S.A.P.I. de C.V. The buyer has taken on responsibility for the outcomes of both ongoing and future inspections related to the transferred companies. During the first half of 2025, significant progress was made in most of the inspections and revocation appeals that remained open at year-end 2024. Where appropriate, the revocation appeals were upheld and new tax assessment notices were issued without observations following minor self-corrections made by certain companies, with no material impact on results.
Only the assessment notices issued by the tax inspection in respect of the 2017 income tax of the engineering subsidiary and the 2020 sales tax of Iberdrola Renovables Noroeste remain in dispute through appeals for revocation, and no material impacts on results are expected to arise from them.
- Lastly, Brazil is known for being a jurisdiction with a high risk of litigation and there are multiple investigation actions in progress, given Brazil's tax and administrative structure and the usual procedure followed by the tax authorities. However, in general, very few of these proceedings are settled in favour of the tax administrations.

The IBERDROLA Group's directors and their tax consultants consider that the current inspection process will not give rise to further material liabilities for the IBERDROLA Group beyond those already recognised at 31 December 2025.
Tax litigation
Tax litigation in Spain
Tax litigation for years 2008 to 2011
In June 2020, IBERDROLA was notified of the decisions made by the Central Tax Appeals Board (TEAC) concerning the claims related to the assessments that were signed in protest by IBERDROLA in 2016. These claims pertain to the general inspection proceeding carried out on the tax consolidation group in the common territory (no. 2/86) for financial years 2008 to 2011.
As regards VAT, the TEAC ruling was favourable to the interests of IBERDROLA (thus annulling the assessments and settlements carried out by the inspectors), while the decisions on income tax were unfavourable.
On 7 July 2020 IBERDROLA appealed these rulings to the Spanish National High Court (Audiencia Nacional).
The main adjustments included in the settlement agreements resulting from contested tax assessments related to the quantification of goodwill subject to tax amortisation and depreciation, for the acquisition of SCOTTISH POWER, the elimination of the exemption applicable to SCOTTISH POWER's dividends received, as the Tax Authority considers that this exemption is incompatible with valuation adjustments for net investment hedges, differences in tax consolidation criteria and the possible existence of the circumstances envisaged in Section 15.1 of Spain's General Tax Law in a debtor-swap operation in a number of debt issues.
In relation to this particular matter, on 17 February 2026 notification was received from the Supreme Court that it had ruled the cassation appeal lodged by the Tax Agency as inadmissible, in connection with the judgment delivered by the National Court handed down in November 2024, which had ruled in Iberdrola's favour regarding the declaration of a conflict in the application of the tax rules in relation to the bond reallocation transaction and subsequent financing of Iberdrola USA.
While no further ordinary appeal may be lodged against the aforementioned order of inadmissibility, it may be challenged by means of an incidente de nulidad (procedural challenge seeking the annulment of the decision due to a fundamental procedural defect).
The processing of other appeals related to this issue was suspended pending the final decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union concerning the amortisation of financial goodwill. On 26 June 2025, the CJEU delivered a final ruling dismissing the appeal by the European Commission and accepting Iberdrola's arguments, thereby lifting the suspension, and the case is now ready to be voted on and ruled on when the time comes. In any case, decisions of the National High Court may be appealed before the Supreme Court.
Iberdrola
Tax litigation for years 2012 to 2020
Additionally, in December 2020 IBERDROLA was notified of the rulings of the TEAC on the appeals lodged in relation to the income tax assessments signed in protest arising from the limited tax inspection of the years 2012 to 2014. The dispute with the Tax Administration essentially had to do with the applicability or inapplicability of the rules on timing of accounting recognition as established in a large number of rulings of the Supreme Court, in relation to the income received by the Group based on payments unlawfully made.
The December 2020 ruling partially upheld IBERDROLA's claims, accepting its criteria insofar as the taxes declared to be unconstitutional are concerned. On 25 January 2021, IBERDROLA filed an appeal for judicial review before the Audiencia Nacional on the other matters in dispute. All claims and arguments were submitted in due course during 2021 and the case is now awaiting a hearing date ahead of a final ruling on the matter.
In relation to the same issue, on 6 September 2021 IBERDROLA filed a claim with the TEAC against the enforcement by the technical department of the central large taxpayers' office of the decision of that court partially upholding the aforementioned assessment. That body did not limit itself to acknowledging the effects of that assessment in the years affected (2012 to 2014), but extended its effects to other prior years. Said years had already undergone general inspection proceedings, with a final ruling rendered in some cases, thus constituting res judicata. On 3 January 2024, IBERDROLA received notification that the TEAC had rejected its claims. The Company subsequently filed a contentious-administrative appeal with the National High Court and submitted the lawsuit in June 2024.
In December 2021 and in July 2022, economic-administrative claims were filed with the Central Tax Appeals Board. These were against the settlement agreements that upheld the disputed corporate income tax assessments involving Iberdrola Energía España, S.A. acting as the representative of Tax Group 2/85, for the financial years 2012 to 2014 and 2015 to 2020, respectively. The issues under dispute are largely the same as those debated for the 2008 to 2011 financial years. On 5 June 2024, the decision of the Central Tax Appeals Board was notified on the claim for the years 2012 to 2014 and in April 2025, the decision for the years 2015 to 2020, partially upholding the group's claims by recognising the deductibility of directors' remuneration and dismissing the other matters. The company filed the corresponding appeals for review with the National High Court. The claims relating to these appeals were filed in November 2024 and October 2025 respectively and were still pending resolution at the end of the financial year. In any case, decisions of the National High Court may be appealed before the Supreme Court.
With regard to Value Added Tax, in July 2022 tax appeals were filed with the TEAC against the settlement agreement confirming the report signed in protest initiated against Iberdrola, S.A, as representative of the Tax Group 0220/08BVA, in relation to the financial years 2015 to 2017, following certain adjustments made by the AEAT arising from the inclusion in the denominator of the pro-rata amount of the capital gains arising on portfolio transfers or on corporate restructurings. The TEAC dismissed the company's claims, whereupon the company lodged the corresponding contentious-administrative appeal before the National Court in April 2025; the statement of claim was filed in early January 2026. In any case, the decision of the National High Court may be appealed before the Supreme Court.
Tax litigation related to the Temporary Energy Levy
Lastly, and with respect to significant tax litigation for IBERDROLA, on 21 February 2023, the Association of Electrical Energy Companies (AELEC) lodged an appeal against Ministry Order HFP/94/2023, approving self-assessment forms of the new temporary energy tax created by Law 38/2022. On 23 February 2023, IBERDROLA also filed a judicial review appeal against the same Ministerial Order, in similar terms to the one filed by AELEC.
This law imposes a temporary energy levy for the years 2023 and 2024 on those entities qualifying as the main operator in the energy sectors, with the legal status of a non-tax public levy.
The amount payable is calculated by applying a percentage of 1.2% to the net turnover generated by the activity in Spain in the calendar year preceding the year in which the obligation arises. In 2023, IBERDROLA paid a levy of EUR 213 million (Note 41). However, following verification actions mentioned in the previous section, a refund of EUR 33 million, plus default interest, was ordered. The revenue associated with this rebate reduced the actual expense for this tax in 2024.
In 2024, IBERDROLA paid EUR 132 million (Note 41), having already excluded from that year's tax base the income whose exclusion was acknowledged during the general inspection of the 2023 levy.
The appeal for judicial review filed by AELEC and by IBERDROLA and which are currently pending resolution are based on defects in the ordinary legality of the Ministerial Order under appeal as well as on defects of unconstitutionality and infringement of Council Regulation (EU) 2022/1854 of 6 October 2022, found in Law 38/2022, which creates the levy.
Tax litigation in other countries
In the United States, the most significant process is the appeal brought before the Appeals Tribunal in relation to the income tax inspection for years 2012 to 2014 in the State of New York. Efforts are ongoing to reach an agreement with the State and settle the matter before the tribunal delivers a decision, with no significant impact on the AVANGRID Group's results.
In the United Kingdom, the only significant matter under discussion concerns the deductibility of certain payments made as required by the electric regulator (OFGEM). The First Tier Tax Tribunal ruled in favour of HMRC in February 2022. The company appealed to the Upper Tribunal, which also ruled in HMRC's favour. Scottish Power then obtained permission to take the case to the Court of Appeal. In January 2025, the Court of Appeal issued a ruling in favour of the company, although HMRC applied for and was granted permission to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court. The hearing is scheduled for 18 May 2026.
As a general rule, no significant tax litigation is currently undergoing in the other jurisdictions where the Group operates, except for Brazil, where a large number of litigation and administrative and judicial proceedings are ongoing. The Group considers it probable that the final rulings will be favourable (Note 45).
The IBERDROLA Group's directors and their tax consultants consider that the current inspection process will not give rise to further material liabilities for the IBERDROLA Group beyond those already recognised at 31 December 2025.

Further developments in relation to financial goodwill (Section 12.5 of the consolidated text of the Income Tax Law)
In financial year 2017, the Spanish authorities applied the aid and grants recoupment procedure established in the General Tax Act, thus recovering from the IBERDROLA Group, in accordance with Article 12.5 of the TRLIS, the sum of EUR 665 million (EUR 576 million as principal and EUR 89 million as late payment interest) in years 2002 to 2015. IBERDROLA settled the required amount by (i) offsetting part of it against the EUR 363 million received under the 2016 income tax rebate, and (ii) paying EUR 302 million in February 2018. All of the foregoing by virtue of Decision Three of the European Commission.
In May 2021, IBERDROLA was notified of a settlement decision under the aid and grants reimbursement procedure for the years 2016 to 2018 in the amount of EUR 13 million, which the Company paid on 2 July 2021.
The Judgment of the General Court of the European Union (GCEU) of 27 September 2023 (joined cases T-256/15 and T-260/15) rendered null and void Commission Decision (EU) 2015/314 of the European Commission of 15 October 2014 (Third Decision), upholding all the arguments submitted by the affected entities, among them the IBERDROLA Group,
Although the European Commission appealed against this ruling of the GCEU, the final judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union of 26 June 2025 dismissed the appeal brought by the European Commission, definitively annulling the Third Decision.
The amounts recouped by the AEAT must be refunded, together with the corresponding additional late payment interest, and are recognised, amounting to EUR 780 million, under "Current tax assets" within current assets in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2025. As at 31 December 2024 they were recognised in "Current tax assets" under non-current assets in the consolidated statement of financial position.
In any event, the Iberdrola Group and its internal and external advisors have always considered that no further risks should arise in relation to the application of the financial goodwill, and that the sums recovered by the tax agency should be refunded, as the payment made by the Group was undue.
At year-end 2025, the effects arising from the request for recognition of the goodwill deduction that could not be applied by the Group in Income Tax for 2016 to 2019 are also recorded, as the Third Decision, which has now been definitively annulled, was enforceable until September 2023.
These amounts, together with the related default interest, amounting to EUR 310 million, are recognised in "Current tax assets" under non-current assets in the consolidated statement of financial position at 31 December 2025 and the associated deferred tax liability has also been recognised.

iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 188
The main activities for which IBERDROLA generates ordinary revenue from customer contracts are as follows:
- Transmission and distribution of electricity and gas
IBERDROLA Group's performance obligation is to make transmission and distribution facilities available to customers. This performance obligation is recognised in a linear manner over time, since the customer receives and consumes simultaneously the benefits from IBERDROLA Group's performance insofar the transmission or distribution network is available.
In the countries where IBERDROLA Group operates, the remuneration on transmission and distribution activities is basically determined by the regulated margin recognised by the corresponding regulator. For certain regulated activities carried out by the IBERDROLA Group, any discrepancies between costs estimated when setting the annual tariff and costs actually incurred are recognised as income or expense for the year in which they arise only if its proceed or payment is certain, regardless of future sales (Note 15.b).
- Gas and electricity sales
The amount of electricity and gas sales is recognised as income at the time the energy is delivered to the customer based on the amounts supplied and includes an estimate of unbilled supplied energy (Note 5). Where relevant, depending on the applicable legislation in each country, this item includes incentives received to support vulnerable consumers or to mitigate the effects of the energy crisis.
By countries:
- In Spain, income includes the amount of both sales in the gas regulated market at Tariff of Last Resort (TLR) and of electricity at Voluntary Price for the Small Consumer (VPSC) as well as the sales in the liberalised market.
- In the United States and Brazil income from electricity and gas supply to end customers are based on tariffs rates subject to the corresponding state regulatory authorities, which determine the prices and other terms of service through the fixing of rates.
- In the United Kingdom, gas and electricity are traded in the liberalised market.
- In Mexico, electricity energy is supplied at liberalised conditions for consumers with a demand of 1 MW or above.
IBERDROLA Group's retail supply companies act as principal. Purchase and sale of energy between the Group's generation and retail supply companies are left out of the consolidation process.
- Assignment of electricity generation capacity
The electricity generation capacity assignment is an obligation independent from electricity supply whose income is recognised through the term of the contract.

IBERDROLA Group maintains electricity generation capacity assignment agreements for some of its plants that set predetermined collection schedules for assigning energy supply capacity. Until the divestment of the plants that formed part of the divestment agreement signed with MIP (Note 7), the Group had power capacity transfer agreements in effect in Mexico in 2024 with the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) for its combined cycle plants.
- Verification, connection and assignment of use of metering equipment
The registration of customers, income for connecting to the receiving electricity and gas grid, as well as income from the verification of installations, are recognised at the time the actions take place since the customer benefits from the service provided and there is no associated future fulfilment obligation. Income for the right of use of meters is recognised as income throughout the period of use.
- Sale of renewables obligation certificates
In the sale of renewables obligation certificates from the Renewables business associated with supplied energy (joint sale of energy and green certificates), income for the sale is recognised at the time the energy is delivered. When the sale of said certificates takes place separately from the energy produced, the income is recognised at the time the certificate is delivered to the customer.
- Incentives for renewable business
The amount of the turnover of the renewable energy and sustainable generation segment corresponding to the different geographical areas in which the Group operates includes the incentives received according to the applicable legislation in each country, given that the amount of these incentives is granted on an individual basis based on the units of products sold and they are received recurrently.
- Construction contracts
Income from transmission and distribution concession agreements for electric energy IBERDROLA Group has executed in Brazil include two compliance obligations: (1) construction services and (2) following operation and maintenance of built facilities. The consideration for each compliance obligation is assigned once the independent sale price at the beginning of the contract is estimated, using IBERDROLA Group's experience in the provision of similar services, of bidding terms and conditions, as well as any other internal or external information available.
Income from construction projects is recognised through the length of the construction process, since the control of the asset is transferred to the customer on an ongoing basis.
When revenue related to construction contracts can be reliably estimated, it is recognised at an amount equal to the proportion that the costs incurred to date represent of the total costs required to complete the contract. These costs are reviewed periodically to reflect deviations, if any. When the income from a contract cannot be reliably estimated, all such income is recognised to the extent that costs are incurred, provided that such costs are recoverable. Profit on the contract is only recognised when it is certain, based on budgeted costs and income.
Changes to construction work and any claims are included within contract revenue if amendments to the contract are legally demanded.

- Real property sales
The IBERDROLA Group follows the principle of recognising income on sales of property when legal title is transferred to the purchaser, which is usually the date the respective contracts are notarised.

This heading includes various tax measures imposed by the authorities, the most relevant of which are described below.
On 28 December 2012, Law 15/2012 on tax measures for the sustainability of the energy sector came into force in Spain. The Law introduced the following taxes, the impact of which was recognised as a charge to “Taxes other than income tax” in the consolidated income statement for 2025 and 2024:
The Tax on the Value of Electricity Output is governed by Law 15/2012
The tax base is determined by the total amount a taxpayer is entitled to receive for producing and feeding electricity into the grid, measured at power station busbars, with a tax rate of 7%.
Royal Decree-Law 12/2021 implemented a temporary suspension of this tax, Which was extended throughout the 2022 and 2023 financial years. Royal Decree-Law 8/2023 ended the suspension effective from 1 January 2024, introducing a 50% reduction in the first quarter and a 25% reduction in the second quarter.
In 2025, the tax was fully applicable.
The expenditure entered in the accounts for financial year 2025 amounted to EUR 376 million; in 2024, it was EUR 268 million.
Tax on the production of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste from nuclear power generation, as outlined in Law 15/2012.
Amounted to EUR 113 million in 2025 and EUR 119 million in 2024.
Levy for using inland waters to produce electrical energy, regulated by Royal Legislative Decree 1/2001
Generally, the tax base is based on the economic value of the hydroelectric energy produced, with an applicable tax rate of 25.5%.
The Supreme Court annulled the application of this levy for the financial years 2013 to 2021 through several rulings in 2021. After a regulatory reform by Law 7/2022, the levy was reintroduced for the financial year 2022. However, from the beginning, there were doubts about its effective application during that period due to the lack of transitional provisions for reintroduction. To address this, the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge published a clarification on its website, stating that the tax period for 2022 would run from 10 April to 31 December 2022. However, the IBERDROLA Group did not agree with this interpretation and considered that the levy should not have been applied in 2022, and therefore appealed against its application.
Iberdrola
In 2024, several administrative rulings were issued, supporting the non-application of the levy in 2022 and therefore confirming the IBERDROLA Group's position.
The expense recognised under this item amounted to EUR 185 million in 2024, broken down into an expense of EUR 264 million in respect of the accrual of the tax and a credit of EUR 79 million arising from the cancellation of the 2022 self-assessments (the full refund of which was obtained in 2025), and to EUR 266 million in 2025.
Financing the costs of the “Bono Social”
Royal Decree-Law 7/2016 imposed the financing of the social bonus on the retail suppliers or the parent companies of groups that include retail suppliers. The judgment delivered by the Supreme Court on 31 January 2022 in respect of IBERDROLA's appeal against the Social Bonus found the financing system to be discriminatory and, therefore, null and void, and ordered that compensation be paid to the financing companies for the amounts not passed on to customers.
A little while later, Royal Decree-Law 6/2022 ushered in a new funding distribution regime among all electricity sector agents, which came into force on 31 March 2022. The amounts recorded in this connection in 2025 and 2024 amounted to EUR 82 million and EUR 40 million, respectively. Additionally, in 2024, EUR 183 million in income was recognised due to the ruling on the 2016-2021 Social Bonus related to Iberdrola Clientes.
Management of radioactive waste
This section includes the fees for financing the costs managed by ENRESA for radioactive waste and spent fuel from nuclear power plants, as regulated by Law 54/1997 and Royal Decree-Law 6/2009.
Among the various charges applied to cover these costs, the most significant is imposed on operational nuclear power plants. The tax base is the gross nuclear power generated by each plant each month, measured in gross kilowatt hours (kWh) and rounded down to the nearest whole number.
With the implementation of Royal Decree 589/2024, this charge increased from 0.798 euro cents per kWh to 1.036 euro cents per kWh (+29.82%).
The best available estimates of expenditure due to these fees are EUR 238 million for the 2025 financial year and EUR 226 million for 2024 (Note 3.q).
Temporary energy levy
This levy, which resulted from applying the 1.2% rate to the net amount of revenue arising from the activity carried out in Spain in the calendar year preceding the year in which the obligation arose, was discontinued in 2025. The amount recognised by the IBERDROLA Group in the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 amounted to EUR 157 million, while the amount ultimately paid amounted to EUR 132 million, following the exclusion from the tax base of certain income recognised in the course of the general tax audit relating to the levy paid in 2023.
Special Tax on Hydrocarbons applied to natural gas used in the combined generation of electricity and heat
In 2013, a levy was introduced on natural gas used for electricity production and for the combined generation of electricity and heat. It was ultimately discontinued in 2018.
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 194
The IBERDROLA Group challenged the application of that tax by citing the exemption provided for in Article 14(1)(a) of Directive 2003/96/EC in respect of energy products used in the production of electricity, and the interpretation of that article given by the Court of Justice of the European Union.
The IBERDROLA Group's position was upheld by Spain's Supreme Court through several judgments delivered between July and September 2024, as a result of which the IBERDROLA Group recognised income from this tax in the amount of EUR 101 million under the heading "Supplies" in the consolidated income statement for 2024, corresponding to the tax amounts previously paid and in respect of which reimbursement had been claimed.
In response to those judgments, the State Legal Service filed various applications for annulment of proceedings, all of which were dismissed by the Supreme Court.
The State Legal Service prepared a constitutional appeal (recurso de amparo) against the rulings of the Supreme Court. However, by order dated 30 May 2025, the Constitutional Court ruled the constitutional appeal inadmissible, thereby bringing the dispute to an end and confirming IBERDROLA's position.
National Energy Efficiency Fund
The National Energy Efficiency Fund (FNEE) is a public financing instrument created to promote energy efficiency measures in Spain, with the aim of contributing to the achievement of national and European final energy savings targets.
The fund is financed mainly through mandatory financial contributions from electricity, gas and petroleum product suppliers, which may be reduced by furnishing Energy Savings Certificates. In respect of the IBERDROLA Group's total business activities, the amounts recognised in 2025 and 2024 amounted to EUR 79 million and EUR 61 million, respectively.

45. Contingent assets and liabilities
IBERDROLA Group companies are party to court and out-of-court disputes arising as part of the ordinary course of their business (disputes with suppliers, customers, administrative or tax authorities, individuals, environmental activists or employees). The IBERDROLA Group's legal advisers believe that the outcome of these disputes will have no material impact on its financial position.
In relation to said disputes, the IBERDROLA Group's main contingent assets and liabilities not recognised in these consolidated financial statements because the pertinent accounting criteria are not met, are as follows:
Contingent liabilities
-
In 2022, the remuneration for 2017, 2018 and 2019 was approved by Order TED/749/2022, of 27 July. The Company lodged an appeal against the Order, as it incorporated inspection results from the regulatory information of the financial years 2015 to 2017. These results reduced remuneration for those years by failing to recognise investments and expenses incurred during operations, in violation of current regulations. The proceedings are being heard before the Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the Supreme Court. On 20 February 2026, notification was received of the Supreme Court judgment partially upholding the appeal, with no order as to costs, and which may be subject to a motion to annual proceedings in respect of those claims not upheld.
-
Appeals for review lodged on 7 July 2020 before the National High Court against unfavourable decisions of which IBERDROLA was notified by the Central Tax Appeals Board in June in connection with the assessments signed in protest by the Group in 2016, pertaining to the years 2008 to 2011. The main disputes relate to the elimination of the tax exemption on dividends received because the tax office believes that this exemption is incompatible with an adjustment in portfolio value due to hedging of net investment, differences in tax consolidation criteria and possible existence of a transaction involving a change of debtor in certain bond issues, due to the circumstances set out in Section 15.1 of the General Tax Act. On 28 November 2024, the National Court ruled in favour of the appeal concerning the settlements dated 30 September 2016, issued by the Central Delegation of Large Taxpayers for Corporate Income Tax for the years 2009, 2010, and 2011. The judgment annuls the AEAT's referral to the tax evasion procedure and fully upholds the appeal in relation to the tax adjustments resulting from that procedure, although it has been appealed before the Supreme Court by the Solicitor General of the State. At the close of 2025, the remaining appeals were pending the announcement of the vote and ruling. In any case, the decisions of the National High Court may be appealed before the Supreme Court.

Appeals for review brought before the National High Court on 30 July 2024 and 4 June 2025 in relation to the decisions of the Central Tax Appeals Board that only partially upheld the tax claims filed on 17 December 2021 and 29 July 2022, respectively, against the settlement decisions on Income tax notified to Iberdrola Energía España, S.A. as representative of the Tax Group 2/86, in relation to the tax assessments signed in protest by the Group in 2021 and 2022 for financial years 2012 to 2014 and 2015 to 2020, respectively. The adjustments in dispute are substantially the same as those discussed in relation to the years 2008 to 2011. In the appeal for the years 2012 to 2014, submissions were made in November 2024, and a summary of conclusions was filed in February 2025. The appeal relating to the financial years 2015 to 2020 was admitted for processing by the National High Court in the first half of 2025, and the claim was filed in October 2025.
-
Appeal for review brought before the National Court on 7 April 2024, in relation to the decision of the Central Tax Appeals Board dismissing the economic-administrative claim filed on 29 July 2022 against the settlement decision on Value Added Tax for financial years 2015 to 2017, notified to Iberdrola, S.A. as representative of the Group of Entities 0220/08BVA. The main adjustment in dispute arises from the inclusion by the tax authorities, in the denominator of Iberdrola, S.A.’s VAT pro rata, of the gains on portfolio transfers and/or corporate restructuring transactions, reducing the input VAT deductible in 2015 and its effect in subsequent years due to the adjustment of the input VAT on the acquisition of investment assets. The appeal has been admitted by the National High Court. At the end of December 2025, the Company was notified of the deadline to file its statement of claim, which was submitted in January 2026.
-
Appeal for review lodged on 25 January 2021 before the National High Court against the decision of the Central Tax Appeals Board notified to IBERDROLA in December 2020. The claim, which was filed against the tax settlement decisions upholding the disputed tax assessments delivered to the Company under limited tax inspection proceedings in relation to income tax for the years 2012 to 2014, was partially upheld. The dispute with the Tax Administration essentially had to do with the applicability or inapplicability of the rules on timing of accounting recognition as established in a large number of rulings of the Supreme Court, in relation to the income received by the Group based on payments unlawfully made. The ruling partially upheld IBERDROLA’s claims, accepting its position on taxes that were declared unconstitutional. An appeal has been lodged with the National Court regarding the remaining disputed issues, although a decision date cannot be estimated.
-
Appeal lodged by IBERDROLA, S.A. on 6 September 2021 before the Central Tax Appeals Board (Tribunal Económico-Administrativo Central) (TEAC) against the enforcement by the Technical Office of the Central Large Taxpayers Delegation of the aforementioned decision of the TEAC partially upholding its interests, which not only recognised the effects of the favourable decision in the pertinent years (2012 to 2014), but also extended its effects to the previous years. Said years had already undergone general inspection proceedings, with a final ruling rendered in some cases, thus constituting res judicata. On 3 January 2024, the Central Tax Appeals Board (TEAC) issued a decision rejecting the company’s claims, against which a corresponding administrative appeal has been filed with the National Court, with no estimated decision date available.

A tax appeal was filed on 23 February 2024 with the TEAC against the settlement decision that confirmed the disputed tax assessments delivered to Iberdrola, S.A., the representative of VAT Group 0220/08 in relation to VAT for the 2018 and 2019 financial years. This agreement rejected requests for rebates submitted by two group companies, namely Curenergía Comercializador de Último Recurso, S.A.U. and Iberdrola Clientes, S.A.U. These applications sought refunds of VAT on debts primarily unpaid by natural persons, older than a year, and with a tax base of less than EUR 300. The rejection was based on the view that Spanish VAT regulations regarding unpaid invoices contradict EU law. The decision of the Court dismissing the appeal was notified in December 2025. The appropriateness of lodging an appeal for review before the National High Court, or enforcing this right by other means covered by current VAT legislation, is currently being analysed.

On 24 November 2015, the CNMC fined Iberdrola Generación (now Iberdrola Energía España) EUR 25 million for a very serious offence, as outlined in Article 60(a)(15) of Law 54/1997, of 27 November, on the electricity sector. An administrative appeal was lodged against this sanction with the National Court. However, processing was suspended due to criminal proceedings on the same facts before Examining Court No. 4 of the National Court. On 4 January 2024, the Central Criminal Court of the National Court ordered an acquittal in summary proceedings No. 11/2022. By order of 1 February 2024, this acquittal was declared final. With the criminal case concluded, the suspension of the administrative proceedings before the National Court was lifted. The company is now contesting the sanction, arguing that no legal provisions were violated, as confirmed by the acquittal. The enforcement of the sanction has been suspended, secured by a bank guarantee. The proceedings before the National Court have concluded, and the case has been scheduled for deliberation and judgment on 11 April 2026.

Iberdrola Castilla y León (IBERCYL) has been summoned as a party subsidiarily liable alongside the Regional Government of Castilla y León in the proceedings taking place before Valladolid Preliminary Examining Court no. 4 in relation to alleged irregularities in awarding certain wind power operating permits in Castilla y León. The order states that IBERCYL must guarantee payment of an amount of EUR 11.2 million in this respect. The trial hearings have been scheduled to take place from September 2025 through to the end of January 2026, so the judgment will be known next year, and the parties may choose to appeal against it. In the course of the trial, the charges against two of the persons for whom the subsidiary civil liability of IBERCYL was sought have been withdrawn from the accusations, leaving accusations against only one of the defendants linked to the company, without changing the petition and the amount of the subsidiary civil liability. A ruling is expected for the first half of 2026.

Various labour, civil and tax claims are ongoing against several companies of the NEOENERGIA Group in Brazil in relation to their ordinary course of business. The IBERDROLA Group considers that the risk of potential losses at such companies has been assessed by them in line with the opinions of the authorities and the external tax advisers, and the relevant provisions have been made based on the likelihood of loss as per the available evidence, the position adopted by the courts and the most recent case law.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025

The labour claims relate to actions brought by former employees of NEOENERGIA Group companies or former employees of service provider companies (subcontractors) with requests for overtime, wage equalisation and other labour rights. Of particular note is the class action ongoing at the company Neoenergia Cosern brought by the trade union SINTERN on behalf of employees to preserve and ensure immediate compliance with the Jobs, Careers and Wages Plan approved in 1991. Under those proceedings, the claimants are seeking payment of wage differences for the last five years and past-due social security contributions. Meanwhile, the civil proceedings involve commercial claims and actions for economic or non-economic damages, arbitration proceedings on issues related to engineering and energy contracts, and various environmental actions and actions for condemnation of real property associated with the performance of projects.
The most significant tax disputes in Brazil are those brought against the claims upholding the infringement proceedings instituted in relation to:
- amortised gain/goodwill expense (agio) is not tax deductible for the purpose of calculating income tax (both for corporate income tax and employee contribution tax) applicable to the subsidiaries Neoenergia Pernambuco, Neoenergia Coelba, Neoenergia Cosern, Neoenergia Elektro, Itapebi and Termopernambuco. In recent years, several decisions in favour of the company had been issued both at the first and second judicial instances concerning several fiscal years challenged by the Brazilian Treasury with respect to Neoenergia Pernambuco and Neoenergia Cosern. However, the underlying issue awaited a final ruling from the Supreme Court. January 2025, a definitive favourable decision was delivered by the Supreme Court concerning the amortised gain (agio) tax benefit utilised by Neo Pernambuco from 2001 to 2006. In September 2025, we obtained a favourable decision from the Supreme Court of Justice in the Termopernambuco cases relating to the agio for 2007 and 2008. A final favourable ruling was granted in November in the Pernambuco 2001-2006 agio case and a final ruling was obtained in January 2026 in relation to the 2018 agio involving Neo Elektro;
- failure to make income tax withholdings on the payment of interest on own capital between companies belonging to the same group;
- the requirement to withhold income tax on the alleged taxable capital gain accrued by Iberdrola Energia, S.A. following the incorporation of Elektro Holding into Neoenergia was assessed. An administrative decision, unfavourable to the company, was issued at the end of the year by the Administrative Council of Tax Appeals (CARF) due to the casting vote of the Administration. An appeal was filed against this decision, although the cancellation of the initial fine was upheld.
- questions concerning tax credits related to consumption tax (ICMS) at NC Energia, Termopernambuco, Neoenergia Pernambuco and Neoenergia Elektro;
- questions concerning federal taxes –corporate income tax and employee contribution tax– from dismissal of expenses with payment of regulatory compensation at Neo Pernambuco and Neo Coelba; and
- questions concerning alleged failure to collect ICMS, registering debit cancellations without proof of origin or with procedural errors, against Neoenergia Brasília.

Turning to regulatory proceedings, distribution companies Neoenergia Pernambuco, Neoenergia Coelba, Neoenergia Cosern, Neoenergia Elektro and Neoenergia Brasília are party to various suits and claims, notably: (I) proceedings to calculate individual and collective technical service continuity indicators; (ii) trade matters; (iii) financial compensation and recovery of global indicators; (iv) matters related to the collection or legality of tariff-related items or matters; and (v) matters related to the legality of administrative action instituted by ANEEL. Among said actions, the following are particularly noteworthy:
- Elektro's Energy Social Tariff (for low-income consumers), for which the Consumers Association intends to increase the number of eligible customers from 2002 to 2010, imposing on ANEEL and Elektro the obligation to restore tariff differences, the cost of which should ultimately be met by the CDE sector fund;
- The free or for-consideration use of right-of-way areas in roads for the electricity grid, the merits of which are being discussed before the Supreme Court;
- Several matters regarding over or under subscription of energy, currently under discussion at the administrative level;
- The possibility of ANEEL including, in the tariff part, tax income resulting from the favourable outcome obtained by suppliers in the legal dispute concerning the exclusion of the ICMS tax from the federal contributions calculation base for PIS/COFINS (currently undergoing preliminary discussions at the administrative level);
-
The action brought by Neoenergia Coelba to annul Infringement Notice no. 0035/2025-SFT/ANEEL, relating to alleged failures to meet deadlines for responding to supply requests requiring works, and for drawing up connection studies and budgets, as set out in article 88 of ANEEL Regulatory Resolution no. 1000 of 7 December 2021.

Avangrid Power, through some of its subsidiaries, has engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contracts in effect with Sterling and Wilson Solar Solutions, Inc. (SWSS) for the construction of two solar farms: Lund Hill in Klickitat, WA, and Pachwáywit Fields in Gillam County, OR (Montague). Renewables believes that SWSS has failed to meet several obligations under the EPC contracts, including construction defects and non-payment to certain subcontractors. As a result, Renewables used letters of credit for both projects. In response, SWSS filed liens on both projects, claiming that approximately USD 105 million is owed under the EPC contracts. Renewables has posted bonds to counter these liens on both properties. Subsequently, SWSS initiated foreclosure actions in Oregon concerning the lien on Montague and added claims for breach of contract and quantum meruit, seeking up to USD 111.8 million. SWSS has also started foreclosure proceedings in Washington State. On 26 February 2024, SWSS filed a lawsuit in a New York State court against the Lund Hill project company and Avangrid Power, based on the same facts as the earlier foreclosure proceedings, and is seeking USD 59.9 million in damages.

On 17 May 2024, AVANGRID entered into a Merger Agreement and Plan with IBERDROLA, S.A., and Arizona Merger Sub, Inc. According to the Merger Agreement, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth, Merger Sub will merge with AVANGRID, making AVANGRID a wholly-owned subsidiary of IBERDROLA. On 27 November 2024, Milton Deutsch filed a class action lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, against AVANGRID and IBERDROLA (the "Deutsch Action"). The lawsuit alleges certain breaches of fiduciary duties by AVANGRID and members of its Board of Directors related to the merger, including actions against IBERDROLA. Additional plaintiffs have since sought to join this action. The court has scheduled a hearing to decide whether to permit these parties to take part in the proceedings. On 27 January 2025, another class action lawsuit with similar claims to the Deutsch Action was filed against AVANGRID in the Southern District of New York. Rulings have been received granting the motions to dismiss filed by AVANGRID and IBERDROLA, as the judgments held that all applicable legal requirements were satisfied. The plaintiffs in the state actions have announced that they plan to appeal the ruling on the motion to dismiss.

Encon Monterrey, a company within the IBERDROLA Group and the current owner of the Dulces Nombres II Combined Cycle Thermal Power Plant in Pesquería, Nuevo León, northern Mexico, has initiated arbitration proceedings against General Electric Global Services GmbH, Mexico branch. The dispute arises from General Electric's alleged breach of financial obligations stemming from a previous settlement between the parties. Encon Monterrey is seeking compensation for damages, holding General Electric responsible for an unscheduled shutdown of the plant. During this arbitration process, the defendant filed a statement of opposition and a counterclaim to IBERDROLA's claim, seeking USD 16.5 million for: (i) work done during the forced shutdown; (ii) reconditioning of materials; (iii) personnel costs; (iv) import taxes; and (v) payment to customs agents. IBERDROLA believes the counterclaim is unjustified and has opposed it.

Lastly, in Mexico, Iberdrola Cogeneración Bajio, SA de CV filed a claim for injunctive relief before the District Courts for Civil, Administrative and Employment Protection in the State of Querétaro, in connection with the regulation approving a Gas Emission Tax in the State of Querétaro in 2024. On 15 April 2025, the company was granted this injunction and protection by the Federal Court, to the effect that the law would not be applied and that the amounts paid would be returned to the company. However, the competent authorities filed an appeal for review, which is pending decision by the Collegiate Circuit Courts of the State of Querétaro.
On 6 August 2025, the company filed a new petition for injunctive relief before the same court claiming the unconstitutionality of the tax declared for 2024 and 2025, which has run the same course. Given that various arguments were declared to be unsubstantiated, on 12 November 2025 the company filed an appeal for review, and subsequently the competent authority filed its appeal accordingly. The appeals for review will be decided by the Second Collegiate Court in Administrative and Civil Matters of the Twenty-Second Circuit.

With regard to the divestment in Iberdrola México, on 24 February 2025, the buyer México Infrastructure Partners (MIP); filed a series of claims for alleged breaches of the Stock Purchase Agreement (SPA) related to alleged damage at the plants being sold. MIP has quantified the damages in the amount of USD 357 million, of which USD 116 million corresponds to alleged loss of earnings. IBERDROLA has responded to the claims by denying liability, pointing out that it has fulfilled all its obligations under the SPA and that loss of earnings is excluded from the contractual liabilities. It also stated that all information on the sold plants had been transferred to the buyer prior to the sale, and that the buyer had performed due diligence, visiting all the plants to check their physical condition, permits, and situation at the time of sale. Based on the above, IBERDROLA is not considered to be liable for the subject matter of the claim.

US gas companies own, or have owned, land on which they operated gas production plants. This land was polluted as a result of these activities. In some cases, the soil has been cleaned, while in others the soil has been assessed and classified, but has yet to be cleaned. In some other cases, the extent of the pollution has yet to be determined. For the last group, at 31 December 2025 no provisions had been recognised because the cost cannot reasonably be estimated as the matter requires the regulators' intervention and approval. In the past, the gas companies have received authorisation to recover cleaning expenses from customers through tariffs and they expect to recover such expenses for the remaining soil.
Contingent assets
- AVANGRID initiated legal proceedings against the former owners of certain sites in order to recover the costs of environmental restoration work it was forced to pay.
Other information
No significant appeals have been lodged regarding the regulation-related proceedings commenced by third parties that could affect the remunerative or financial situation of the IBERDROLA Group.
Contingent assets and liabilities at 31 December 2024 are described in the IBERDROLA Group's consolidated financial statements for that year.

46. Guarantee commitments to third parties and other contingent liabilities
IBERDROLA and its subsidiaries are required, in the ordinary course of their operations, to post guarantees in accordance with the regulatory, contractual and operational requirements of the markets in which the Group operates.
In electricity generation and retail activities, the Group provides guarantees to secure compliance with obligations arising from power purchase agreements, network access arrangements and participation in organised markets. Among the main operators and markets for which these guarantees are provided are MEFF, OMIE, MIBGAS, National Grid, Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE), Red Eléctrica de España (REE) and EDP Distribución.
At the renewable generation business, guarantees are posted to secure the construction and commissioning of facilities, decommissioning commitments, and obligations under long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs).
The Group has guarantees in place with the tax authorities in respect of corporate income tax assessments issued on a disputed basis. These guarantees remain in force until the appeals lodged against them are finally resolved (Note 35).
As at 31 December 2025 and 2024, there were bond issuances in the United States amounting to approximately EUR 3,441 million and EUR 3,449 million, respectively, secured by items of property, plant and equipment belonging to the AVANGRID subgroup.
IBERDROLA considers that any further liability at 31 December 2025 and 2024 arising from the guarantees posted at those dates would not be significant.
Likewise, in compliance with certain contractual obligations associated with bank loans, IBERDROLA has pledged, in whole or in part, shares in certain of its subsidiary companies.

At the end of the trading period for the free-of-charge allocation rights:
- During the period established for this purpose, the holders of 1,088,096,797 shares in the Company opted to receive the Interim dividend. Thus, the gross amount paid out under the Interim Dividend was EUR 275 million.

- Furthermore, the final number of new common shares with a par value of EUR 0.75 issued will be 76,618,226, yielding a nominal capital increase (under this issue) of EUR 57 million and adding 1.147% to IBERDROLA’s pre-issue share capital.
- Following this share capital increase, IBERDROLA’s share capital amounts to EUR 5,068,384,202, represented by 6,757,845,603 common shares, each with a par value of EUR 0.75 and all fully subscribed for and paid up.
- Following fulfilment of the pertinent legal requirements (especially verification of those requirements by the Spanish National Securities Market Commission), the new shares were admitted for trading on the continuous market of the Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia Stock Exchanges, through the Automated Quotation System (Continuous Market), on 3 February 2026.

53. Earnings per share
The weighted average number of common shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share at 31 December 2025 and 2024 is as follows:
| 2025 | 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | Diluted | Basic | Diluted | |
| Average number of shares during the year | 6,837,893,093 | 6,851,627,003 | 6,718,930,275 | 6,734,936,980 |
| Average number of treasury shares held | (104,235,650) | (104,235,650) | (91,945,467) | (91,924,403) |
| Number of shares outstanding | 6,733,657,443 | 6,747,391,353 | 6,626,984,808 | 6,643,012,577 |
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing (a) the profit for the year attributable to the Parent Company's shareholders, adjusted for the net coupon allocated for subordinated perpetual bonds (see Note 22), by (b) the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the adjusted profit for the year attributable to the Parent Company's shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, as mentioned above, plus the weighted average number of potentially dilutive ordinary shares that would be issued if converted into ordinary shares during the period.
Basic and diluted earnings per share for 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

In calculating basic and diluted earnings per share, the denominators have been adjusted to account for transactions that led to an increase in the number of shares in circulation without impacting resources, treating them as if they had occurred at the beginning of the first period presented.
As outlined in Notes 22 and 51 of these consolidated financial statements, two scrip issues were carried out in July 2025 and January 2026 as part of the Iberdrola Retribución Flexible flexible remuneration programme. Following IAS 33: Earnings per Share, these scrip issues led to an adjustment of the earnings per share for the 2024 financial year in the consolidated financial statements, and have been factored into the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the 2025 financial year.
54. Authorisation for issue of financial statements
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 were authorised for issue by the directors of IBERDROLA on 24 February 2026.

SECTOR REGULATIONS: MOST SIGNIFICANT REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS IN THE YEAR
A raft of new rules and regulations affecting the energy sector were enacted in 2025. This Appendix addresses the most significant developments.
1. European Union
One of the first steps taken by the Commission formed after the 2024 European elections was to unveil the Clean Industry Deal (CID) in February 2025, together with the Plan of Action for affordable energy prices.
The CID provides concrete measures to convert decarbonisation into a driver of competition and growth for European industries. These measures include reduction in energy prices, stimulating demand for clean products, financing of the clean transition, encouraging circularity and access to strategic materials, and fostering innovation and qualification in the work force.
Regarding the Plan of Action for affordable energy prices, the Commission considers measures to:
- accelerate the deployment of clean energy through PPAs, promoting electrification of industry and development of grid infrastructures to facilitate connecting to clean generation, electrification of demand and data centres;
- complete the domestic energy market with physical interior connections;
- utilise energy more efficiently and reduce dependency on imported fossil fuels.
These initiatives will be implemented as of 2025 and over the next two years in the form of various proposals, some of which will be legislative.
As a preliminary, the Communication from the Commission C/2025/7600 of 25 June 2025 on the new Clean Industrial Deal State Aid Framework (CISAF) has been published. The CISAF aims to provide certainty and accelerate the approval of aid for certain investments that contribute to the objectives of the CID. To this end, the CISAF defines the following nine possible types of aid in detail:
- Schemes to accelerate the rollout of renewable energy.
- Schemes to accelerate the rollout of low-carbon fuels.
- Schemes for new non-fossil flexibility.
- Capacity mechanisms.
- Temporary electricity price relief for energy-intensive users.
- Aid for industrial decarbonisation.
- Aid to ensure sufficient manufacturing capacity in clean technologies.
- Schemes to support specific Innovation Fund projects.
- Aid to reduce the risk of private investment in renewable energy portfolios, low-carbon fuels, non-fossil flexibility, industrial decarbonisation and production of clean technologies.

States requesting any of these aid measures while in full compliance with all of its specifics have assurance that it will be authorised quickly. The CISAF will remain in force until the end of 2030, after which it will not be possible to grant new aid under this framework, although multi-year schemes granted under the CISAF will be able to continue to provide any aid already committed beyond that date.
Moreover, the European Commission is developing a set of proposals to simplify certain administrative processes in order to ease the bureaucratic burden on companies. So far, Directive (EU) 2025/794 of 14 April 2025 amending certain sustainability reporting and due diligence requirements for companies has been published.
On 2 July 2025, the Commission also published its Recommendations to the Member States for the introduction of tax incentives to support the CID objectives. These recommendations, which are not mandatory, allow for the generation of tax shields through greater flexibility in (accelerated) tax depreciation.
On 10 December, as part of the CID initiatives, the Commission published two packages: a Networks Package and an Environmental Omnibus Package. The Networks Package contains legislative proposals and recommendations aimed at preventing networks from becoming a bottleneck for European competitiveness, energy security and climate neutrality. In practice, this involves speeding up and simplifying the permitting process, as well as improving transport infrastructure planning. This “package” consists of the following documents:
- Communication detailing the objectives and initiatives of the package.
- Proposal for a complete renewal of the Trans-European infrastructure Regulation (TEN-E). Introduces amendments to the Electricity, Gas (H2) and ACER Market Design Regulations to ensure that they are consistent with each other.
- Renewables Directive with measures to accelerate permitting in renewables, storage and recharging. Introduces amendments to the Market Design Directive, also in coherence with the TEN-E Regulation and to speed up permitting and network connections.
- Recommendations of the Commission to Member States to promote efficient and fast network connections.
Of the proposals within the Environmental Omnibus, the new regulation aimed at expediting environmental assessments stands out, in line with the measures to accelerate permitting under the Networks Package.
In the area of clean mobility, Regulation (EU) 2025/1214 of 17 June 2025 was published, amending Regulation (EU) 2019/631 to include greater flexibility for manufacturers to comply with carbon emission limits for light-duty vehicles between 2025 and 2027.
Also related to mobility, on 16 December 2025, the European Commission published an Automotive Package, containing proposals (legislative and non-legislative) aimed at relaxing obligations, simplifying rules (revision of the Regulation on CO2 Standards for Light-duty Vehicles, new Regulation on Corporate Fleets of Large Companies), and expediting the deployment of a European battery industry (Battery Booster Strategy Communication).

In a climate of heightened geopolitical tensions, the Commission, together with the High Representative for Foreign Affairs, published its revised Economic Security Strategy on 3 December 2025, which contains:
- A Communication on Economic Security, updating the 2023 Security Strategy. In short, it proposes a shift from a reactive to a proactive approach, based on increasing the capacity to analyse vulnerabilities, to cooperate with like-minded nations, and to use and improve available tools.
- In this context, in order to expedite the critical raw materials strategy and reduce external dependencies, a Communication on the update of the critical materials strategy is included, accompanied by a reform of the Critical Materials Regulation. These cover financing instruments, permits, circularity, demand aggregation, joint purchasing and the protection of the internal market.
Lastly, the Commission has published part of the secondary legislation on the implementation of the Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA).
- Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1176 of 23 May 2025, specifying the prequalification and award criteria for auctions for the deployment of energy from renewable sources;
- Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1176 of 23 May 2025, establishing the list of net-zero technology final products and their main specific components for the purposes of assessing the contribution to resilience;

Autumn Budget 2025: The Chancellor touched upon certain key aspects of energy policy in his Autumn Budget on 26 November 2025, with a particular focus on reducing domestic consumer energy bills. The Government has taken the decision to end the supplier obligation energy efficiency scheme, ECO4, when the current four-year scheme expires on 31 March 2026 (alongside closing the GBIS scheme). It has also decided not to replace it with any new energy efficiency obligation for suppliers. However, there will be a nine-month extension to ECO4 to allow for late delivery and rectification work but with no further obligations imposed. In addition, the Government announced that it will fund 75% of the cost of the Renewables Obligation (RO) on domestic consumers for three years, starting on 1 April 2026 and running until 31 March 2029. The Government announced at the Budget that these measures will reduce average household energy bills by around £150 from April 2026. The budget also committed to provide a further £1.5 billion in public spending to help tackle fuel poverty through the Government's Warm Homes Plan, providing a total of nearly £15 billion in public financing. On the subject of transport, the Government, when announcing the budget, unveiled a raft of measures to encourage the uptake of electric vehicles (EVs), including an additional £1.3 billion funding for the Electric Car Grant through to 2029/30, though also the introduction of a new mileage-based charge on electric cars in April 2028, additional to the current vehicle excise duty charges paid by all vehicles. In 2028 and 2029, the charge will be 3p per mile for battery electric cars and 1.5p per mile for plug-in hybrid cars. The budget also included a roll-forward of the Carbon Price Support (CPS) tax, at its current level of £18 per tonne of CO₂, during 2027–28, i.e. a one-year extension.
Contracts for Difference (CfD) auctioning for renewable generation and Clean Industry Bonus: The Energy Department (DESNZ) published the Budget Notice for CfD Allocation Round 7 (AR7) for offshore wind technologies on 27 October 2025, announcing £900 million for Pot 3 (fixed bottom offshore wind) and £180 million for Pot 4 (floating offshore wind) (2024 prices). This included two separate maxima to be applied to Scottish offshore wind projects and other offshore wind projects in Pot 3 to separate their clearing prices. Following the AR7 auction bid window, which ran from 11-17 November 2025, DESNZ published the results of AR7 on 14 January 2026, awarding 20-year CfD contracts to six fixed-bottom offshore wind projects (totalling 8,245 MW) and two floating offshore wind projects (totalling 192.5 MW). DESNZ increased the budget for fixed-bottom offshore wind (Pot 3) from £900 million to £1,790 million. In Pot 3, 6,865 MW of English/Welsh fixed-bottom offshore wind (five projects over nine contracts) were awarded at £91.20/MWh and one 1,380 MW Scottish fixed bottom offshore wind project was awarded at £89.49/MWh (all 2024 prices). In Pot 4 for floating offshore wind, one 100 MW Welsh project and one 92.5 MW Scottish project was awarded at £216.49/MWh (2024 prices). DESNZ also confirmed a final AR7 Clean Industry Bonus allocation of around £204 million, subject to final procurement decisions. Moreover, DESNZ published the Budget Notice for Allocation Round 7a (AR7a) (for non-offshore wind renewable technologies) on 8 December 2025, announcing £295 million for Pot 1 (established technologies including onshore wind & solar PV) and £15 million for Pot 2 (less established technologies). The AR7a results are due to be published between 6–9 February 2026. In the meantime, DESNZ is laying the groundwork for Allocation Round 8 (AR8). The expected timeline (including for the AR8 Clean Industry Bonus allocation round) to be set out in due course.

RO indexation: On 31 October 2025, the UK Government, together with the devolved administrations, published a consultation on options to move from RPI (Retail Price Index)-based indexing to CPI (Consumer Price Index)-based indexing for the Renewables Obligation (RO) from April 2026 onward. The governments' response was published on 28 January 2026 and confirmed that the governments will switch to CPI-based indexation of the RO buy-out price ahead of the next annual adjustment in April 2026. Secondary legislation will be laid before the respective parliaments to implement this. The UK Government will also take an equivalent approach under the small scale Feed-in Tariff scheme, with rates switching to CPI indexation from 1 April 2026.
Reformed National Pricing (RNP): The Government has yet to publish an implementation plan for the national pricing reform, which is expected to provide further details while outlining the next steps to be taken. The National Energy System Operator (NESO) announced in December 2025 that one of the key workstreams – the development of a Strategic Spatial Energy Plan (SSEP) – had been delayed by around 12 months, with final SSEP delivery now expected in Autumn 2027.
Capacity Market (CM): The DESNZ has set a procurement target of 39.1 GW for the T-4 auction (with a delivery year of 2029/30) and a further 5.8 GW target for the T-1 auction (delivering in 2026/27), both due to take place in March 2026. Aside from these auctions, DESNZ has consulted on proposals to make a higher price cap available for a subset of new build firm, 'enduring' generation capacity in Capacity Market auctions.
Funding for nuclear power: Following the final investment decision (FID) for the construction of the new Sizewell C nuclear plant in Suffolk in summer 2025, the Government is consulting on the possibility of assuming powers to allow contracts for difference with existing nuclear plant owners, in order to facilitate potential life-extension projects (subject to a thorough value-for-money assessment and other regulatory approvals, including the corresponding safety justification).
RIIO-3 price controls: Ofgem's RIIO-3 price controls for electricity and gas transmission and gas distribution networks will run for five years from April 2026 to March 2031. Licensees submitted final business plans on 11 December 2024 and on 4 December 2025 Ofgem published its Final Determinations (FDs). For SPT's electricity transmission price control (RIIO-ET3), Ofgem set the baseline totex allowance at £10.4 billion, an increase of £438m relative to the July Draft Determination. The cost of equity (real) was set at 5.7% on a 55% gearing basis and the cost of debt (semi nominal) was calibrated as 5.64% for SPT. As a result, the global semi-nominal weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for SPT stands at 5.67%, up from 5.64% in the draft proposal. SPT received the highest reward under the Business Plan Incentive, of all electricity transmission or gas companies, of 11.8 basis points on the return on regulatory capital (RoRE). Ofgem's price controls for electricity distribution networks (RIIO-ED3) will run for five years from April 2028 to March 2033. Ofgem published its Sector Specific Methodology Consultation (SSMC) on 8 October 2025, in which it proposed to retain its current methodology for setting the cost of equity and debt.

Reform of grid connections: The Government is working alongside Ofgem and the National Energy System Operator (NESO) to reduce grid connection timescales to support progress towards decarbonising the power sector. NESO's connection reform proposals (TMO4+) seek to achieve a streamlined pipeline of projects that are verifiably ready to connect and aligned to the Government's Clean Power 2030 Plan and subsequent strategic energy planning. Ofgem approved the TMO4+ package of reform proposals on 15 April 2025, comprising modifications to industry codes and the transmission, distribution and NESO licences. Legislative powers to push through these reforms have been included in the Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025. NESO launched the reformed process in July 2025 to reassess the existing connection queue, this exercise was completed in December 2025 with 382 GW of generation, storage and demand projects judged to have met the criteria to be included in the new queue, whilst over 300 GW of projects did not progress from the pre-reform queue. Connection offers for projects in the new queue will be issued in the second and third quarters of 2026, with the window for new applications expected to open in the second half of 2026.
Cap on retail tariffs: Ofgem's default tariff cap was introduced in 2019 in a bid to protect domestic customers on default tariffs. Following its updating of the operational costs allowance with effect from July 2025, Ofgem published decisions in November 2025 on five updates to the price cap methodology which together added around £36 to the cap, effective from January 2026. Ofgem expects to conduct an assessment later in 2026 of whether an additional 'true-up' adjustment is required in respect of debt-related costs incurred between April 2022 and June 2025. This will take into account any interactions with Ofgem's proposed Debt Relief Scheme (DRS), which would require suppliers to write off certain historic debts for qualifying low-income customers during 2026.
Warm Homes Plan: The Government published its Warm Homes Plan on 21 January 2026, setting out its plans to upgrade the UK housing stock with low carbon technologies and insulation, using nearly £15 billion of Government financing allocated through the 2025 Spending Review and the 2025 Autumn Budget. Funding will be allocated through a combination of public funding and financing schemes (including low-or zero-interest loans) for households, as well as public funding for heat network infrastructure.
4. US law and regulations
Permitting
On 20 January, President Trump, in what was his first day in office, issued an Executive Order on onshore and offshore wind. The order instructs the Department of Interior to conduct a comprehensive review of the necessity of terminating or amending any existing offshore wind leases, identifying any legal bases for such removal. The order also directs federal agencies to not issue new or renewed approvals, rights of way, permits, leases, or loans for onshore or offshore wind projects pending the completion of a comprehensive assessment and review of Federal wind leasing and permitting practices.

In July, the Department of Interior deployed several measures aimed at halting further wind and solar development. On 3 September, the Federal Government filed motion to move to remand and vacate the Construction and Operations Plan for previously permitted offshore wind projects, including New England Wind 1. On 5 December, the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) petitioned the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to issue a voluntary remand of the COP for the New project. On 22 December, the Department of Interior issued a Directors Order requiring all five offshore wind projects in construction, including Vineyard Wind 1, to suspend all ongoing activities for the next 90 days on the grounds of national security. The affected projects filed appeals to these stop work orders. On 27 January 2026, the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts issued a ruling allowing Vineyard Wind to restart operations by authorising the resumption of construction at Vineyard Wind 1 while the proceedings are ongoing.
Tariffs
The Trump Administration is pursuing an aggressive America First trade policy. Tariffs have been announced on almost every country, plus further ones on certain products, such as steel and aluminium. The tariffs remain variable and have been challenged before the courts.
There are restrictions on imports of products from Canada and Mexico due to concerns over the flow of fentanyl into the United States. Goods that are not USMCA-compliant are subject to additional tariffs. The rate as of 31 July was 35% for Canada and 25% for Mexico.
Tariffs on Chinese goods have also fluctuated. Currently, a 10% tariff is applied to fentanyl originating from China, in addition to a reciprocal tariff of 10%. On 10 November, the White House announced that these rates would be extended until 10 November 2026.
On 2 April, the President issued an Executive Order to implement new reciprocal tariffs with a 10% universal tariff for most countries (excluding Mexico, Canada and China), as well as higher country-specific reciprocal rates. Certain products are excluded from the tariffs, including the Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminium. In all other cases, the tariffs come on top of existing duties. The updated reciprocal rates took effect on 7 August. Tariffs on India were doubled on 27 August.
The tariffs have been challenged before the courts and the outcome remains uncertain. On 29 August, a federal appellate court ruled that the tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) were illegal, but did not suspend them pending an appeal by the U.S. Department of Justice. Oral arguments in this case before the U.S. Supreme Court were heard on 5 November. A decision is expected in the first quarter of 2026, meaning that the path to reimbursement is not guaranteed.
New York – Regulatory update
Joint proposal and rate case filing: In 2025, NYSEG and RG&E continued to operate under the Joint Proposal (JP) settlement approved by the New York Public Service Commission ("NYPSC" or "Commission") on 12 October 2023.

The companies are currently awaiting a Commission order regarding the filed implementation plans.
Compensation audit: On 13 February 2025, the Commission initiated a focused operations audit to examine management incentive compensation programmes at the main investor-owned electric, gas, and water utilities. On 15 May 2025, the Commission selected Overland Consulting as the independent auditor and ordered all New York utilities to execute a contract with Overland. To date, Overland has issued 212 requests for information and conducted seven interviews with the companies concerned. The target date for the draft audit report is August 2026, with the final report scheduled for September 2026.
In relation to proactive planning to enhance the electricity grid infrastructure: On 12 June 2025, the Commission issued an order to address urgent upgrade requests, approving two projects from NYSEG and RG&E, including Kents Falls, with an estimated cost of USD 37.1 million, and Station 124, with an estimated cost of USD 33.2 million. On 18 September 2025, the Commission ordered the joint utilities to develop two key components to support future proactive planning cycles: a document titled "Modified Proactive Planning Framework", submitted on 17 November 2025, which identifies the data and sources to be considered; and a "Proactive Planning Study Report", which assesses needs and proposes projects to be submitted by September 2026.
State policy-related activities: The companies continue to advance through phases 1 and 2 of the Powering New York project, maintaining progress in engineering, permitting, procurement and the initial stages of construction. The Commission has not indicated any changes to applicable requirements or related transmission initiatives.
The Commission recently approved the extension of the Zero Emissions Credit (ZEC) programme for existing nuclear plants until 2049, as a further show of the State's commitment to preserving carbon-free baseload capacity.
Maine – Regulatory update
At the annual CMP compliance filing held on 11 June 2025, the Maine Public Utilities Commission issued a written order approving an uncontested stipulation. The impact of this decision was reflected in rates beginning on 1 July 2025, including the recovery of $242 million until 30 June 2026 and an additional $66 million from 1 July 2026 until 30 June 2027. The majority of these costs are attributed to 2023 and 2024 storm cost deferrals that will be fully amortised by 30 June 2027.

CMP elected to dismiss the rate case on 20 November 2025, with the MPUC ultimately closing the case on 24 November of that year.
Connecticut — Regulatory update
An appeal is ongoing of a 2023 rate case decision, in which the CT Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) authorised Avangrid subsidiary United Illuminating (UI) an 8.63% return on equity (ROE) that included a 47-basis point penalty for management and operational performance issues. PURA issued rate case decisions for Connecticut Natural Gas (CNG) and Southern Connecticut Gas (SCG) in November 2024. PURA authorised both companies an ROE of 9.15%, utilising a common equity ratio of 53%. For both gas companies, the authorised ROE included a 5-basis point reduction. Appeals of PURA's 2024 gas rate case decisions were lodged before the Connecticut Superior Court. On 19 November 2025, the Connecticut Superior Court for the Judicial District of New Britain remanded the final rate case decisions to PURA for new rate proceedings and ordered PURA to reconsider the underlying rate applications, as if they were new requests. PURA has opened two new dockets in response to the remand and has started the process to respond to the remand order.
On 12 November 2024, UI filed a request to adjust its rates and charges, proposing changes to its existing rates effective from 1 November 2025. PURA issued a final decision on this request on 28 October 2025, approving a return on common equity of 9.45%, which would be reduced to 9.25% once a 20-basis-point adjustment is applied, and a capital ratio of 51%. UI filed a motion for reconsideration in November 2025, focused on the penalties applied to the ROE and on the denials of inflation protection, the recovery of Board expenses, and audit costs. PURA approved the motion for reconsideration and has a statutory deadline to issue a ruling on these matters by 5 March 2026.
Massachusetts – Regulatory update
On 14 November 2025, BGC filed a five-year rate modification request with the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities (DPU).

On 18 June, ANEEL published Homologation Resolution No. 3,470, setting out the outcome of the 2025 Periodic Tariff Review of the Allowed Annual Revenues (RAP, in Portuguese) of three unbundled electricity transmission concessionaires. One of these was a Neoenergia Group company (Afluente T.), with an approved RAP of BRL 73.8 million, representing a nominal repositioning index of 14.2%. On 24 June, ANEEL published Homologation Resolution No. 3,475, setting out the outcome of the 2025 Periodic Tariff Review of the Allowed Annual Revenues (RAP, in Portuguese) of 30 unbundled electricity transmission concessionaires. Just one of these was a Neoenergia Group company (Rio Formoso), with an approved RAP of BRL 25.2 million, representing a nominal repositioning index of 5.46%. The authorised percentages for each electricity transmission concession entered into force on 1 July, the review date provided for in the concession agreements.
Efforts to make the distribution and transmission system more resilient to climatic events
ANEEL published Normative Resolution No. 1,137/2025, ushering in regulatory improvements aimed at making the electricity distribution and transmission systems more resilient to climatic events. The main measures include: (i) the creation of the DISE indicator, with consumer compensation for prolonged outages during emergency situations; (ii) strengthening distributors' responsibility for managing urban vegetation, in coordination with municipal authorities; (iii) the establishment of dedicated communication channels with public authorities in crisis situations; (iv) the mandatory implementation of detailed contingency plans and periodic training; (v) regulations governing the emergency sharing of resources between distributors, based on financial neutrality criteria; and (vi) a review of the rules on compensation for electrical damage, eliminating automatic exemptions in the event of disasters.
National Policy for Access to the Electricity Transmission System (PNAST)
On 5 December 2025, Decree No. 12,722 was published, setting up the National Policy for Access to the Electricity Transmission System (PNAST). The PNAST modifies the access process to the National Interconnected System (SIN) by introducing what are known as "Access Rounds", a mechanism that replaces the first-come, first-served approach with a batch assessment process, selecting projects based on technical and competitive criteria. The aim is to ensure the rational use of the grid, improve predictability for investors and provide sector planning with more robust and realistic information on the future needs of the SIN.

6. Mexico
Mexico has made progress in implementing its energy reform by enacting a new legal and regulatory framework for the electricity sector.
Through the new Electricity Sector Law, published in March 2025, the role of private initiative in generation, retail and the planning of the National Electricity System has been redefined. Likewise, the new institutional framework establishes the National Energy Commission (Comisión Nacional de Energía) as the regulatory authority for the electricity and natural gas sectors, while strengthening the role of the Energy Secretariat (Secretaría de Energía) as the body responsible for system planning.
The implementation of the reform showed steady progress during 2025 through the issuance of implementing regulations, the approval of binding development plans and the publication of operating provisions that more clearly define the mechanisms for system planning, public-private participation, the granting of permits and authorisations, as well as the expansion of electricity infrastructure, thereby shaping a more predictable environment aligned with national energy policy objectives.
Call for the priority processing of applications for electricity generation permits and interconnection to the National Electricity System
An example of the above is the publication, in October 2025, of the call to prioritise generation and interconnection permits, establishing a specific process for authorising strategic projects aligned with sector planning.
With a significant stake, Iberdrola México obtained two permits for the development of two photovoltaic projects, whose development and entry into operation will be subject to the fulfilment of various milestones.

1.2 Business model
Iberdrola has been spearheading the evolution of the energy sector for more than two decades, building a business model focused on investment in networks, on scaling higher-value renewables, on expanding storage, and on optimising the customer portfolio for the benefit of all.
Iberdrola focuses its business on electrification as a lever to ensure self-sufficiency, energy security, efficiency, competitiveness and emissions reduction. An ongoing process of electrification focused on investment in networks, strengthening higher-value renewables, expanding storage capacity and optimising the customer portfolio.
This successful, tried and tested model is underpinned by a unique combination of businesses and geographies, supported by a solid financial position and a stable dividend policy, and integrates sustainability and shared value creation into the business.
Diversification across businesses and geographic areas
Electrification is an unstoppable process, and so the company, drawing on its experience and opportunities for organic growth, is firmly committed to expanding and strengthening electricity networks, primarily in regulated and stable markets such as United States, United Kingdom, Brazil and Spain. Significant investment in networks is envisaged, with the aim of connecting demand to clean energy sources that replace fossil fuels.
To succeed in this task, Iberdrola is committed to digitalisation. Technology is key to the development of networks and is driven through the Global Smart Grids Innovation Hubs in Spain, the United Kingdom and Qatar. Along these lines, the company has a digitalised asset base, with increasingly intelligent operating processes that enhance customer service through control and operational excellence.
With installed capacity of more than 44 GW at the end of 2025, Iberdrola is one of the world's leading renewable energy companies. This positioning gives the company the flexibility needed to invest selectively across different technologies and countries, targeting stronger growth in offshore wind, onshore wind and solar energy.
The Group operates in geographies with stable regulatory frameworks and high credit ratings, thus ensuring the viability of investments and safeguarding margins over the medium and long term.
Financial strength
Iberdrola doubles down on its commitment to maintaining financial solvency and strength by aligning its financing model with a sustainability-driven investment plan and offering lenders and investors, in each transaction, robust assurance that their capital will help generate a positive impact on the environment and society.
Sustainability built into the business and shared value
The combination of financial and social dividends, aimed at meeting the expectations of its stakeholders and embedding sustainability considerations into the company's strategy and management, is the cornerstone of long-term value creation.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 277
The Company continues to press ahead with its emissions-reduction ambition, with the aspirational goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030 for Scope 1 and across all three scopes before 2040; protecting nature, for which it has set a target of delivering a positive impact on biodiversity by 2030; and promoting the efficient use of resources, supported by the definition of a Circular Economy Plan.
As for the value chain, Iberdrola promotes a set of core tenets based on business ethics and transparency when procuring equipment and materials and when arranging works and services, seeking continuous improvement and mutual benefit, while fostering sustainability and innovation initiatives.

The Company will continue to foster equal opportunities and further strengthen the learning and development of its employees.
The Group's growth continues to be driven primarily by sustainable financing instruments, reflecting the very high level of alignment of its investment plan with the EU Taxonomy.
All of this is made possible by a governance and sustainability system grounded in ethics, transparency and good corporate governance, which continues to implement market best practices.
Business model
Iberdrola's investment will mainly target grids and renewable energies in the long term, as investments that provide known and recurring cash flows.
In addition, the selection of the countries in which the Group operates considers the stability of the regulatory environment applied to the sector and its long-term credit rating.
In a nutshell, Iberdrola's business model has the following key features and strengths:
- Geared towards meeting the expectations of its stakeholders by making sustainability part of its strategy and management.
- Investment is particularly concentrated in the grid business, which has predictable regulatory frameworks with incentives for investment, and which constitutes the infrastructure that is necessary to tackle the energy model transition.
- It is supplemented with selective investments in renewable energies, thus optimising the risk/return profile. These are mainly projects in offshore wind, photovoltaic, onshore wind, hydroelectric, battery and production of green hydrogen, all necessary elements for bringing to fruition a decarbonised energy and economic model.
- Geographic diversification, focusing on countries with a high credit rating.
- Enduring commitment to a robust financial position that preferably relies on green financing instruments owing to the investment plan's extremely high degree of alignment with the EU Taxonomy.
- The dividend policy mandates a reliable and growing dividend in line with the increase in the Company's earnings.

1.5 Corporate and governance structure, ownership and legal form
Iberdrola is an independent public limited company (sociedad anónima), with its registered office in Bilbao (Plaza Euskadi, 5), incorporated under Spanish law and listed on the stock exchange. It operates as the holding company of an international group with a presence in Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Brazil, Mexico (being discontinued), other Member States of the European Union, Portugal, France and Germany, as well as Australia, among other countries.
Through its country subholding companies and head of business companies, the group combines a decentralised structure and management model with coordination mechanisms designed to ensure the overall integration of all businesses through an effective system of separation of functions, checks and balances and supervisory controls. In addition, the Governance and Sustainability System contains measures granting the listed country subholding companies a special framework of strengthened autonomy.
Based on this corporate configuration, the governance structure duly separates the functions of strategic planning and oversight, on the one hand, from the functions of day-to-day leadership and effective management, on the other:
a. The Board of Directors of Iberdrola is vested with powers relating to the design of strategy and the governance model, as well as to oversight, organisation, and strategic coordination.
b. The chairman of the Board of Directors and the chief executive officer of Iberdrola, with the technical support of the Operating Committee and the rest of the management team, undertake the oversight, organisation, and strategic coordination at the Group level.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 280
c. The subholding companies strengthen oversight, organisation, and strategic coordination in relation to their respective territories, countries, or businesses through the communication, implementation, and supervision of the overall strategy and core management guidelines. For this purpose, they have their own chief executive officers, external directors, and audit and compliance committees, as well as internal audit and compliance units. These entities group together the shareholdings in the parent companies of the business units. One of their main roles is to centralise the provision of common services to these companies and to represent them vis-à-vis national institutions.
d. The listed sub-holding companies (Neoenergia, S.A.) operate under a special framework of enhanced autonomy in regulatory matters, related-party transactions and management.
1.6 Strategic pillars for the 2025-2028 period
The IBERDROLA Group is a global energy leader, with a market capitalisation of almost EUR 125,000 million at the end of 2025. As electrification continues to roll forward at an unstoppable pace, we champion innovation and a sustainable and competitive business model that creates value for society as a whole.
In response to the need for a clean, reliable and smart business model, Iberdrola places investment in networks at the heart of its strategy. This is how we drive the electrification of the economy and work to meet the new demands facing electricity networks.
The IBERDROLA Group began committing to renewable energy more than two decades ago as a core pillar on which to build its clean, reliable and smart business model. Thanks to this vision, the company is now a global leader in renewable energy, with more than 47,624 MW of installed renewable capacity worldwide at the end of 2025, and is spearheading electrification towards a low-emissions economy.
This commitment is reflected in our 2025–2028 Strategic Plan, which places the expansion of distribution and transmission networks at the heart of the Company’s growth, particularly in the United Kingdom and the United States, where 65% of investment in this type of technology will be allocated.
Iberdrola carries out its activities with the aim of creating sustainable value for all its stakeholders: this is what we call our social dividend. To succeed, we make environmental, social and governance factors an integral part of our strategy as a substantial contribution to sustainable development.
2025-2028 Plan
Under our 2025-2028 Strategic Plan, we will channel EUR 58,000 million into the development of electricity networks, focusing on the United Kingdom and the United States as our main markets. This is a further show of our firm commitment to creating a sustainable and secure energy future.
On 24 September 2025, as part of the Capital Markets Day, we unveiled our 2025–2028 Strategic Plan, in which we updated our commitments and doubled down on our investment strategy.

The IBERDROLA Group remains focused on the electrification of the economy and plans to invest EUR 58,000 million by 2028 in the development of electricity networks. Our main targets will be the United Kingdom and the United States, where investments of EUR 20,000 million and EUR 16,000 million, respectively, are planned. These are followed by the Iberian Peninsula, with EUR 9,000 million, Brazil, with EUR 7,000 million, and other EU countries and Australia, with EUR 5,000 million. In addition, approximately EUR 1,000 million are envisaged for investments in innovation and digital transformation not allocated to specific countries.
Networks
Electricity networks will be at the heart of our strategy. The IBERDROLA Group plans to invest EUR 37,000 million in the networks business, in distribution and transmission, in order to increase the Regulated Asset Base to EUR 70,000 million. As a result, the Regulated Asset Base will reach EUR 50,000 million in the distribution network and EUR 20,000 million in the transmission network at the end of the period.
Under this 2025-2028 Strategic Plan, new investment in networks will see EUR 25,000 million channelled into the distribution network and EUR 12,000 million into the transmission network, focusing on markets with closed regulatory frameworks or frameworks under advanced negotiation, where an average return (ROE) of 9.5% is expected.
Thanks to this new investment plan, the IBERDROLA Group will continue to target the development of the Renewable Generation and Customers segments, while embracing a clear commitment to energy distribution and transmission networks as a strategic pillar to drive the electrification of the economy. In this way, the IBERDROLA Group aims to bring electricity to more people by improving and expanding the infrastructure that transfers its generation capacity to a broader base of consumers.
Renewable generation and customers
Improving clean energy generation and maintaining a high level of service for our customers remain key priorities for the Company. We are therefore continuing to focus on these areas, with planned investments totalling EUR 21,000 million.
This amount will be distributed across four technologies, with 75% of the projects already under construction. More precisely, 38% will be allocated to offshore wind, in projects such as East Anglia TWO and East Anglia THREE in the United Kingdom, or Windanker in Germany; 24% to onshore wind; and 10% to storage, of which EUR 1,000 million will be allocated to the development of batteries in Australia and other European countries. Investment will also be made in pumped storage in the Iberian Peninsula. A further 10% will be allocated to solar, which will be developed mainly in Spain, Italy and Australia.
Under the plan, we envision reaching more than 60 GW of installed capacity by 2028, of which 90% will be emissions-free. This will be possible as the IBERDROLA Group will allocate 80% of the budget dedicated to Renewables and Customers (around EUR 16,000 million) to increasing both installed capacity and storage capacity. In fact, many of the new facilities are already under construction, and we are therefore confident that our capacity will rise to 9.5 GW by 2028. The Company's objective is thus to be able to sustain the increase in demand resulting from the expansion of data centres, electrical transmission and the electrification of many industrial sectors, which require access to electricity throughout the day, relying on PPAs and contracts for difference as the basis for their development.

Profit/(Loss)
This Strategic Plan aims to achieve EUR 18,000 million in gross operating profit (EBITDA) by 2028, up EUR 3,000 million on 2024 thanks to the new roadmap, with electricity networks generating 55% of this profit.
In this way, the Company will be able to honour its commitment to increase shareholder remuneration as its earnings steadily increase, with plans to distribute close to EUR 20,000 million in dividends between 2025 and 2028. Specifically, the IBERDROLA Group will allocate between 65% and 75% of profit to shareholder remuneration, while at the same time setting the dividend floor at EUR 0.64 for this period under the Iberdrola Retribución Flexible programme.
This investment plan ensures stable, predictable, profitable and secure growth, operating in markets with an A+ rating and fortifying its financial position in line with a BBB+ credit rating, made possible by a highly diversified portfolio.
This financial strength will be accomplished by generating EUR 52,000 million in cash flow thanks to the new lines of business envisioned. In parallel, the Company has already carried out a EUR 5,000 million capital increase and has planned an asset rotation and partnerships programme worth EUR 13,000 million, which is 75% complete, thus laying the foundation for the plan envisaged for this period.
Social dividend
The Company plans to create 15,000 jobs worldwide over the next four years and to make purchases worth EUR 65,000 million from thousands of suppliers, supporting more than 500,000 jobs along the value chain.
Moreover, it will contribute more than EUR 40,000 million to the public coffers in the countries in which it operates by 2028.
Mirroring its firm commitment to innovation, the Company plans to invest EUR 1,600 million in R&D over the period.
Iberdrola continues to move forward with its commitment to accelerating the electrification of the planet and aims to combine its growth with the objective of becoming CO₂ neutral for Scope 1 emissions by 2030, which largely correspond to emissions from electricity generation.

2. Business performance and results
2.1 Global environment
a) Currency performance
During 2025, movements in the average exchange rates of IBERDROLA's main reference currencies were as follows: the US dollar depreciated by 4%, sterling by 1.1% and the Brazilian real by 8.2% against the euro. Taken together, this resulted in a reduction in EBITDA of EUR 355 million and in net profit of EUR 101 million.
b) Demand
With regard to the evolution of demand in the period in the Company's main areas of activity:
- In Spain, the Energy Balance of the mainland system in 2025 witnessed an increase in combined cycle generation (+33.3%) and solar photovoltaic generation (+12.7%) compared with 2024, coupled with a decline in coal (-52.2%), cogeneration (-5.9%), hydroelectric power (-3.6%), onshore wind (-3.5%) and nuclear power (-1.0%).
Mainland demand for electricity in 2025 was up 2.9% year on year. However, once adjusted for labour and temperature variables, the figure was actually up 1.6%.
The 2025 financial year closed with a producibility index of 1.2 and hydroelectric reserves at levels of 9.7 TWh (52.5%).
- In the United Kingdom, electricity demand in 2025 was up 0.1% year on year, while gas demand dipped by 2.1%.
- In AVANGRID's managed areas on the east coast of the United States, electricity demand remained broadly stable, increasing by 0.1% in 2025 compared with 2024, while gas demand rose by 7.7% over the period.
- Demand in Neoenergia's areas of activity in Brazil was down 0.9% on 2024, due to milder weather conditions.

Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 285
- On 11 September, the IBERDROLA Group reached an agreement to acquire the stake held by Caixa de Previdência dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil (PREVI) in Neoenergia by purchasing the 30.29% stake held by PREVI, resulting in the IBERDROLA Group controlling approximately 84% of the share capital. The agreed price was BRL 32.5 per share. The transaction was completed on 31 October 2025 (Note 7).
Subsequently, in November, the IBERDROLA Group submitted to Brazil's Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM) an application to register a public tender offer for all the shares of Neoenergia not controlled by the IBERDROLA Group or held by Neoenergia as treasury shares, representing approximately 16.2% of its share capital. The transaction is currently in progress (Note 7).
-
On 18 September, Iberdrola reached an agreement to sell 100% of the shares in Iberdrola Renovables Magyarország KFT, which holds its business in Hungary, to a consortium formed by Premier Energy and the Hungarian group iG TECH CC. The transaction, which was subject to the customary regulatory approvals, was completed in January 2026 (Notes 18 and 51).
-
In November 2025, Neoenergia and EDF Brasil Hidro Participações S.A. entered into a sale agreement whereby Neoenergia will sell its entire stake in Energética Águas da Pedra, S.A., which holds an ownership interest in the Dardanelos Hydroelectric Power Plant (Note 18).
e) Blackout event
The blackout event that struck the Iberian Peninsula electricity system on 28 April 2025 (the "Blackout") was analysed by the Group's internal and external experts, who concluded that the Group's companies were not responsible for the event, nor did they contribute in any way to its occurrence. Quite the opposite, as the Group's companies in Spain promptly made their generation and distribution assets available to the System Operator, thus helping to restore the supply of electricity as soon as possible.
Accordingly, the risk arising from the Blackout for the Group has been classified as remote.
Any potential claims for damages that customers may bring against the Group's electricity retail, distribution and generation companies in Spain as a result of the Blackout would be covered by the civil liability insurance policies taken out by those companies, noting also that they were in no way liable for having caused the event. As at the reporting date, the Group's operating companies in Spain have received four court claims seeking compensation for damages arising from civil liability, for an immaterial amount. These claims have been notified to the insurance company for handling.

On 2 August 2024, Iberdrola signed the acquisition of an 88% stake in the UK electricity distributor Electricity North West (ENW), which supplies electricity to almost five million customers in north-west England and operates 60,000 km of electricity distribution networks. Completion of the transaction took place on 22 October 2024, and control of the company was acquired in March 2025, once the review of the transaction had been completed by the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).
2.2.1.3 United States
Distribution
In the United States, the IBERDROLA Group has 2.3 million electricity supply points. The volume of energy distributed during the year reached 37,664 GWh, marking a 0.1% increase compared to the 2024 financial year, which recorded 37,643 GWh.
| 2025 | 2024 | Change (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Central Maine Power (CMP) | 9,258 | 9,316 | (0.62) |
| NY State Electric & Gas (NYSEG) | 16,257 | 15,984 | 1.7 |
| Rochester Gas & Electric (RG&E) | 7,399 | 7,354 | 0.6 |
| United Illuminating Company (UI) | 4,750 | 4,989 | (4.8) |
| Total electrical distribution (GWh) (1) | 37,664 | 37,643 | 0.1 |

The Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI) is as follows:
| CAIDI (h) | 2025 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Central Maine Power (CMP) | 1.70 | 1.96 |
| NY State Electric & Gas (NYSEG) | 1.88 | 1.90 |
| Rochester Gas & Electric (RG&E) | 1.57 | 1.64 |
The reduction in CAIDI at Central Maine Power is attributable to improved operational performance in restoring supply outages, reflecting a lower number of days affected by minor storms. The reduction in CAIDI at NYSEG and RG&E is mainly due to faster response times to prolonged outages.
UI's System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI), which is the regulatory indicator that applies in Connecticut, is as follows:
| SAIDI (mins) | 2025 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| United Illuminating Company (UI) | 34.80 | 42.60 |
The decrease in the SAIDI indicator for United Illuminating is largely due to the significant weather events that occurred throughout 2024, none of which were classified as major storms and therefore were not excluded from the calculation. In 2025, the threshold for major storms is lower, making it easier for events to be treated as excludable. Moreover, weather events in 2025 were far less frequent than in the previous year.

Average number of interruptions per customer (System Average Interruption Frequency Index, or SAIFI) is as follows:
| SAIFI | 2025 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Central Maine Power (CMP) | 1.73 | 1.83 |
| NY State Electric & Gas (NYSEG) | 1.29 | 1.30 |
| Rochester Gas & Electric (RG&E) | 0.94 | 0.83 |
| United Illuminating Company (UI) | 0.46 | 0.61 |
The slight decrease in SAIFI compared with 2024 is mainly due to the reduction in storms recorded in Maine (Central Maine Power) and New York (New York State Electric & Gas) relative to the same period in 2024, while the increase at Rochester Gas and Electric is mainly attributable to an outage at a substation.
– Gas
Avangrid supplies gas to more than 1 million supply points. At the end of 2025, 66,280 GWh of gas had been distributed, representing a 7.7% increase year on year.

Key events in the year
In 2024, the Portugal Customer business was reported within Spain, as it was legally dependent on a subsidiary of Iberdrola España, S.A. To complete the corporate reorganisation process aimed at integrating the commercial businesses into the respective country sub-holdings, in 2025 Iberdrola Clientes Portugal, Unipessoal, Lda. was sold to a subsidiary of Iberdrola Energía Internacional, S.A., which should be taken into account for comparative purposes.
On 20 March, approval was obtained from the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), and the restrictions on taking control of ENW were lifted, allowing global consolidation from that date forward. In 2024, following the closing of the transaction on 22 October, ENW's contribution was recognised under "Results from equity-accounted associates".

In February 2024, Iberdrola México completed the sale to México Infrastructure Partners FF, S.A.P.I. de C.V. of a portfolio of 13 power generation plants in the country, comprising combined-cycle plants and an onshore wind farm. The IBERDROLA Group retained 13 plants, the entire private customer activity segment, and the portfolio of renewable projects under development within the subholding Iberdrola México S.A. de C.V. On 31 July 2025, an agreement was signed with COX ABG Group S.A. for the sale and purchase of 100% of the shares in Iberdrola México S.A. de C.V. It has been concluded that the conditions are met to classify the assets and liabilities of the Mexico segment as held for sale and to present the segment's result under "Net profit/(loss) for the year from discontinued operations". The consolidated income statement for 2024 has been restated and is presented on the same basis.
Impairment losses and write-downs: impairment losses of EUR 182 million were recognised in respect of property, plant and equipment, and impairment totalling EUR 340 million was recorded, mainly relating to offshore wind projects under development in the United States, together with other, less significant items largely corresponding to projects under development in the United Kingdom and France.
In 2025, the IBERDROLA Group reported EBITDA of EUR 15,956 million, up 9%. Without considering the negative exchange rate effect of EUR 355 million, it would have risen by 11%.
The parent company's net profit for the year was up EUR 673 million, which is 12% higher than in 2024. Without the negative impact from a EUR 101 million exchange rate effect, the increase would have been 10.2%, bringing it to EUR 6,285 million.
The year's performance was primarily underpinned by the improvement in Spain and the United Kingdom.
- In Spain, the segment's performance was positive, driven, among other factors, by regulatory adjustments in Networks. Higher production was offset by lower margins and sales, together with higher costs for ancillary services, mainly as a result of the blackout that took place on 28 April.
- In the United Kingdom, the performance was also positive thanks to ENW's contribution from March, the divestment through the sale of SP Smart Meters Assets Limited (SPSMAL), the company that owns and operates the smart meter leasing business in the UK, the sale of a 50% stake in East Anglia Three Holdings Limited, and the recognition in 2025 of the insurance compensation for the East Anglia One cable failure that occurred in 2024. These impacts offset lower renewable output and prices, the loss of the customer portfolio, and higher impairment losses.
- The United States improved due to the recognition by the regulator of receivables at the regulated business, as well as higher billing in Networks and lower impairment at Renewables compared with those recognised in 2024.
- In Mexico, where the activity is now classified as discontinued, the comparison between periods is affected by the sale in 2024 of certain generation projects to MIP. Once the capital gain and the differential contribution of the sold companies are excluded, the retained business shows positive performance.

- In Brazil, the performance was favourable thanks to improvements in tariffs and market conditions, positive tax adjustments, and the acquisition of Previ’s 30.29% stake, which had the effect of reducing the share of results attributable to non-controlling interests. In November 2025, the relevant procedures were initiated for the launch of a takeover bid to acquire the remaining 16.21% of the shares. The transaction is due to be completed in 2026.
- In 2025, Iberdrola Energía Internacional, which already includes all countries in the International business within the scope of consolidation, improved its contribution due to new capacity at the renewables business, although generally low wind resource levels ultimately prevented it from contributing more, offsetting the decline in the contribution made by the commercial business.
2.3.1.1 Gross income
Gross income came to EUR 24,048 million, up EUR 837 million, or 3.6%, compared to the figure reported in 2024. Stripping out the adverse exchange rate effect of EUR 551 million, this figure would be an improvement of EUR 1,388 million (6%) over 2024.
Gross income by country subholding is as follows:
| 2025 | 2024 | Change (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spain | 8,868 | 8,981 | (1.3) |
| United Kingdom | 5,086 | 4,836 | 5.2 |
| United States | 5,821 | 5,311 | 9.6 |
| Mexico | 722 | 635 | 13.7 |
| Brazil | 3,162 | 3,178 | (0.5) |
| IEI | 1,118 | 926 | 20.7 |
| Corporation and adjustments | 52 | 9 | 477.8 |
| Discontinued operation | (781) | (665) | 17.4 |
| Total gross income | 24,048 | 23,211 | 3.6 |
In Spain, gross margin decreased by EUR 113 million, down 1.3% on 2024.
- At the Networks business, net income was up EUR 420 million due to the impact of the new financial remuneration rate following the CNMC draft (6.58% versus 5.58%), as well as the update to the minimum assumption of the COMGES X update factor (2021–2025) (operation and maintenance remuneration), which had a positive effect on remuneration for 2025, together with the recognition of incentives.
- The Renewables and Sustainable Generation business increased its contribution by EUR 200 million compared with 2024, mainly due to higher production.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 307
- The contribution made by the Customer business was down EUR 733 million. In the Spanish liberalised market, gross income was down EUR 529 million (EUR 313 million due to volume effects, EUR 205 million due to price effects and EUR 11 million due to procurement costs); in CUR, gross income fell by EUR 33 million; at the gas business, it was down EUR 25 million; in products and services it was up EUR 28 million; and in cogeneration it fell by EUR 26 million. The business was also affected by higher ancillary services costs, largely due to the new reinforced system operation following the nationwide blackout that took place on 28 April.
The decrease was due to the commercial business in Portugal, which contributed EUR 148 million in gross income in 2024 and was transferred to the International business in 2025.
Gross income in the United Kingdom performed well, increasing its contribution by 5.2% to reach EUR 250 million for the year.
- Gross income in the UK Networks business increased its contribution by EUR 651 million due to improved performance in the distribution business following the full consolidation of ENW, effective from March 2025 (EUR 621 million), together with the higher contribution from the transmission business following an increase in the regulated asset base and higher tariffs.
- The Renewables and Sustainable Generation business reduced its contribution by EUR 213 million due to lower output and lower prices.
- The contribution made by the Customer business was down EUR 193 million.
In the United States, gross income was down EUR 510 million on financial year 2024.
- The Networks business managed to increase its contribution increased by EUR 491 million, driven by higher tariffs at the distribution business and the contribution made by the transmission segment.
- The Renewables and Sustainable Generation business improved its contribution by EUR 19 million.
In Brazil, gross income worsened by 0.5% compared with 2024, falling by EUR 16 million.
- The Networks business improved its contribution by EUR 61 million.
- The Renewables and Sustainable Generation business reduced its contribution by EUR 24 million, affected by exchange rate fluctuations.
- The contribution made by the Customer business was down EUR 53 million.
Gross income in Mexico grew by 14%, EUR 87 million higher than in 2024, driven by the strong performance of the retained assets.
The other countries grouped under IEI managed to increase their contribution by 21%, EUR 192 million higher than in the previous year. The comparison is affected by the inclusion of the Portuguese commercial business in 2025.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries

- The Renewables and Sustainable Generation business increased its contribution by EUR 210 million, following a 17.2% increase in output, driven by higher offshore wind generation (59.4%) as a result of the contribution from the Saint Brieuc wind farm (496 MW, France) and the Baltic Eagle wind farm (476 MW, Germany).
- The commercial business reduced its contribution by EUR 18 million, mainly in Portugal, due to higher ancillary services costs during the period as a result of the blackout.
2.3.1.2 Gross operating profit – EBITDA
Consolidated EBITDA was up EUR 1,314 million (+9%) to EUR 15,956 million, compared with EUR 14,642 million in 2024. The net effect of exchange rates fluctuations had a positive impact EUR 378 million. Without this effect, it would have grown by 11%.
Contributions by country subholding were as follows:
| 2025 | 2024 | Change (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spain | 6,004 | 6,268 | (4.2) |
| United Kingdom | 3,685 | 3,331 | 10.6 |
| United States | 3,192 | 2,280 | 40.0 |
| Mexico | 567 | 2,147 | (73.6) |
| Brazil | 2,352 | 2,265 | 3.8 |
| IEI | 791 | 707 | 11.9 |
| Corporation and adjustments | 1 | (150) | (100.7) |
| Discontinued operation | (636) | (2,206) | (71.2) |
| Gross operating profit - EBITDA | 15,956 | 14,642 | 9.0 |
EBITDA growth in 2025 was largely driven by the improvements seen in the United States and the United Kingdom.
In addition to the gross income performance, the variables behind the EBITDA performance are as follows:
Net operating expenses
Net operating expenses by country subholding are as follows:
| 2025 | 2024 | Change (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spain | 1,252 | 1,457 | (14.1) |
| United Kingdom | 942 | 946 | (0.4) |
| United States | 1,985 | 2,414 | (17.8) |
| Mexico | 146 | (1,520) | (109.6) |
| Brazil | 803 | 907 | (11.5) |
| IEI | 291 | 207 | 40.6 |
| Corporation and adjustments | 45 | 51 | (11.8) |
| Discontinued operation | (137) | 1,548 | (108.9) |
| Net operating expenses | 5,327 | 6,010 | (11.4) |
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries
309
Net operating expenses fell by EUR 683 million to EUR 5,327 million. Exchange rate effects had a positive impact of EUR 169 million on the comparison. Excluding the exchange rate effect, the change would amount to EUR 1,171 million (+12%). It was particularly affected by gains from asset rotations in both years: EUR 283 million in 2025 compared with EUR 1,784 million in 2024.
Taxes
Taxes other than income tax by country subholding are as follows:
| 2025 | 2024 | Change (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spain | 1,612 | 1,255 | 28.4 |
| United Kingdom | 459 | 559 | (17.9) |
| United States | 644 | 617 | 4.4 |
| Mexico | 8 | 8 | 0 |
| Brazil | 7 | 6 | 16.7 |
| IEI | 36 | 13 | 176.9 |
| Corporation and adjustments | 7 | 108 | (93.6) |
| Discontinued operation | (8) | (7) | 14.3 |
| Taxes | 2,765 | 2,559 | 8.1 |
The heading Taxes other than income tax was up EUR 206 million to EUR 2,765 million. Exchange rate effects had a positive impact of EUR 31 million; excluding this effect, they would have increased by EUR 237 million.
The increase is due to:
- positive effects such as the EUR 138 million improvement from the reduction in the UK windfall tax and the elimination of the temporary energy levy, which amounted to EUR 99 million in 2024.
- Conversely, the comparison is adversely affected by the impact of court rulings issued in 2024 amounting to EUR 262 million; higher expense from the reactivation of the Tax on the Value of Electricity Production (IVPEE), an increase of EUR 108 million (this tax was reintroduced in 2024 with a progressive rate, starting at 3.5% in the first quarter, rising to 5.25% in the second quarter of 2024 and up to 7% currently); a EUR 13 million increase in the Enresa levy; and increases of EUR 60 million in the social bonus and energy efficiency charges.
2.3.1.3 Net operating profit – EBIT
EBIT totalled EUR 9,755 million, 28% up on 2024 (EUR 7,639 million). Without considering the negative exchange rate effect of EUR 24 million, the increase would have been 32%.
The breakdown by subholding company, expressed in millions of euros, is as follows:
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 310
| 2025 | 2024 | Change (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spain | 4,140 | 4,317 | (4.1) |
| United Kingdom | 2,373 | 2,256 | 5.2 |
| United States | 1,329 | (578) | (329.9) |
| Mexico | 449 | 2,028 | (77.9) |
| Brazil | 1,693 | 1,591 | 6.4 |
| IEI | 344 | 317 | 8.5 |
| Corporation and adjustments | (52) | (202) | (74.3) |
| Discontinued operation | (521) | (2,090) | (75.1) |
| Operating profit – EBIT | 9,755 | 7,639 | 27.7 |
To arrive at operating profit, we incorporate:
- Valuation adjustments, trade and contract assets
Provisions for trade receivables and contract assets amounted to EUR 398 million, EUR 70 million lower than in 2024 (EUR 468 million).
- Amortisation, depreciation and provisions
Depreciation and amortisation increased by EUR 223 million (+4.6%) to EUR 5,122 million, mainly due to the Group's growth and the increased asset base.
The heading "Provisions for impairment and write-downs of non-financial assets" was down EUR 1,044 million, from EUR 1,568 million in 2024—which included asset impairments in the US onshore wind business—to EUR 524 million in 2025 (write-downs of EUR 184 million and impairments of EUR 340 million), largely due to write-downs and impairments of offshore wind assets in the United States and projects in France and the United Kingdom.
"Other provisions" increased by EUR 89 million compared with 2024.
2.3.1.4 Net finance income
Net finance income improved by EUR 36 million to EUR 1,754 million (EUR 1,790 million in 2024). Including Mexico, net financial income worsened by EUR 288 million to EUR 1,863 million (EUR 1,575 million in 2025). The breakdown of this change by component is as follows:
| 2025 | 2024 | Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gains/(losses) on debt | (2,502) | (2,239) | (263) |
| Other non-debt finance income | 639 | 664 | (25) |
| Finance income including Mexico | (1,863) | (1,575) | (288) |
| Discontinued operation | 109 | (215) | 324 |
| Net finance income/(expense) | (1,754) | (1,790) | 36 |
The change can be largely explained by:
- Net debt expense increased by EUR 263 million: EUR 357 million due to an increase of EUR 6,162 million in average net debt, partially offset by EUR 94 million as a result of exchange rate depreciation, particularly of the Brazilian real.
Iberdrola

- The remaining items represent a deterioration of EUR 25 million. Derivatives made a positive contribution of EUR 164 million, with EUR 279 million attributable to East Anglia 3 derivatives, while the remainder largely relates to hedging in Mexico, offset at net profit level under the taxes line. Meanwhile, the “Other” line item made a negative contribution of EUR 189 million.
At 31 December 2025, the Group’s average borrowing costs stood at 4.76%, compared to 5.02% in the same period of the previous year (Note 29).
The average cost of adjusted net financial debt fell by 6 basis points to 4.75%, compared with 4.81% in the same period of the previous year, amid lower euro interest rates and financing margins, despite higher interest rates in Brazil.
The average cost of adjusted net financial debt is calculated as the quotient of gains/(losses) on debt and the average balance of adjusted net financial debt.
The reconciliation of gains/(losses) on debt with the figures in the consolidated Income statement is as follows:
| Millions of euros | 2025 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Finance expenses and similar financing expenses (1)(5) | (2,558) | (2,454) |
| Finance expenses from lease liabilities (1)(5) | (89) | (87) |
| Hedging cost of financing derivatives (2) | (71) | (37) |
| Finance income from hedging derivatives (3) | (27) | 7 |
| Finance income from other derivatives (2) | 24 | 0 |
| Income from placement of surpluses (3)(5) | 219 | 334 |
| Net exchange differences in foreign currency for financing activities (4)(5) | 0 | (2) |
| Gains/(losses) on debt | (2,502) | (2,239) |
(1) Note 44 to the annual financial statements.
(2) Notes 43 and 44 to the annual financial statements, included under “Non-hedging derivatives and ineffectiveness”.
(3) Note 43 to the annual financial statements, included under the line “Finance income from assets at amortised cost”.
(4) Notes 43 and 44 to the consolidated annual financial statements, net of the lines “Positive foreign exchange differences on financing” and “Negative foreign exchange differences on financing”.
(5) The line items “Financial expenses and related financing costs”, “Financial expenses on lease liabilities”, “Income from the placement of surplus funds” and “Net foreign exchange differences on financing” included EUR -25 million, EUR -4 million, EUR +112 million and EUR +1 million, respectively, relating to the discontinued operation (Note 18 to the annual financial statements).
The average balance of the adjusted net financial debt is calculated by weighting the number of days each debt operation remains active throughout the year. Accordingly, it includes the same items as those set out in Note 22 to the annual financial statements, as detailed below:
| Average balance | 2025 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Gross financial debt | 56,433 | 51,663 |
| Cash assets | (3,770) | (5,162) |
| Adjusted net financial debt | 52,663 | 46,501 |
Iberdrola
2.3.1.5 Profit/(loss) of equity-accounted investees
The heading “Profit/(losses) at equity-accounted investees” showed a positive EUR 96 million.
2.3.1.6 Net profit/(loss) for the year from discontinued operations (net of taxes)
It mainly reflects the result of the Mexico subholding, classified as discontinued following the sale agreement reached with COX, together with smaller amounts from the engineering activity: EUR 364 million in 2025 and EUR 1,479 million in 2024, the latter including the gain on the sale of the companies to MIP.
2.3.1.7 Net profit for the period attributable to the parent
Net profit for the year amounted to EUR 6,285 million, up by EUR 673 million, representing a 12% increase compared with the previous year’s EUR 5,612 million. The exchange rate effect was positive to the tune of EUR 101 million.
Income tax
Corporate income tax expense was up EUR 328 million to EUR 1,671 million compared with 2024 (EUR 1,343 million).
The main factors driving this increase are:
- The expense increased by EUR 538 million, calculated at the tax rate applicable in each country, mainly as a result of higher expense in the United States, which in 2024 recorded income arising from the impairment recognised.
- The expense improved by EUR 62 million after adjusting the corporate income tax expense from prior years, mainly reflecting the tax impact arising from the exclusion from the corporate income tax base once the corresponding financial update of the PIS/COFINS tax credits had been confirmed.
- The expense improved by EUR 128 million due to adjustments related to deferred taxes on goodwill.
- The remaining positive variance of EUR 20 million reflects numerous recalculations and permanent differences.
Non-controlling interests
Meanwhile, non-controlling interests were up EUR 169 million to EUR 505 million, mainly due to:
- the inclusion of ENW non-controlling interests amounting to EUR 20 million and the improvement in the result of East Anglia 1 by EUR 37 million increased this heading by EUR 57 million in the United Kingdom;
- the increase of EUR 124 million in Avangrid non-controlling interests, of which EUR 178 million is due to the effect of the onshore impairment in 2024. The remainder of the improvement is the result of the repurchase of non-controlling interests in late 2024;
Iberdrola
- the decline of EUR 23 million in non-controlling interests in Brazil, mainly due to the acquisition of the 30.29% stake from Previ;
- the remaining EUR 11 million increase relates to minor effects in Spain and Mexico.
3. Liquidity and capital resources
The principal objective of the IBERDROLA Group's financial management is to ensure a robust financial profile by strengthening the solvency and equity ratios typically tracked by credit rating agencies. It seeks to do so while optimising its liquidity position and managing financial risks accordingly and combining this with a sustainable shareholder remuneration policy.
3.1 Liquidity
The IBERDROLA Group had a strong liquidity position of EUR 21,174 million at the end of 2025 (Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements). Counting the financing operations signed after 31 December, this figure rises to EUR 21,381 million.
This liquidity mainly arises from syndicated credit facilities arranged with relationship banks, loans provided by multilateral lenders, development banks and export credit agencies, in addition to cash and cash equivalents and temporary financial investments (maturing within 12 months). These liquidity transactions were arranged with counterparties that have high credit ratings.
This liquidity position covers 29 months of financing needs in the base case and 18 months in the risk scenario.
3.2 Financial solvency
3.2.1 Credit rating of IBERDROLA's senior debt
Credit ratings by rating agency are as follows:
| Agency | Long-term (1) | Outlook | Date of latest report |

3.2.2 Financial solvency ratios
The calculation of the financial solvency ratios is shown below:
| 31.12.2025 | 31.12.2024 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Adjusted FFO / Adjusted net financial debt (1) | % | 25.5 | 22.9 |
| Adjusted RCF / Adjusted net financial debt (1) | % | 21.9 | 19.4 |
| Adjusted net financial debt/Adjusted EBITDA | Times | 3.02 | 3.4 |
(1) As shown in the table below.
The IBERDROLA Group relies on the following main measures to assess cash generation for the period:
- Funds from Operations (FFO).
- Retained Cash Flow (RCF). FFO – Own and minority dividend payments – net flows from perpetual (hybrid) bonds.
FFO totalled EUR 12,811 million over the last 12 months, up 8.2% year on year, driven by improved cash generation at the Networks business.
These measures are calculated as follows:
| 31.12.2025 (1) | 31.12.2024 (1) | |
|---|---|---|
| Net profit for the period attributable to the parent | 6,285 | 5,612 |
| Net profit for the year from discontinued operations (1) | 17 | 19 |
| Impairment losses, trade and other receivables | 394 | 471 |
| Amortisation, depreciation and provisions | 5,922 | 6,648 |
| Result of equity-accounted investees | (96) | 37 |
| Discounting to present value of provisions (2) | 174 | 184 |

| Adjusted net debt (Note 22.b to the annual financial statements) | 50,037 | 51,672 |
| Mexico contribution (3) | 145 | 0 |
| Adjusted net debt (with Iberdrola México) | 50,182 | 51,672 |
(1) For the purposes of Adjusted FFO, Adjusted RCF and Adjusted EBITDA, Mexico is considered a continuing operation (see Note 18 to the annual financial statements).

(3) Amounts included under Assets and Liabilities held for sale (see Note 18 to the annual financial statements).
3.3 Capital funds
3.3.1 Leverage
Adjusted net leverage fell by 1.63 percentage points to 43.81% (a decrease of 1.70 percentage points to 43.74% excluding Mexico; Note 22.b to the annual financial statements), compared with 45.44% recorded in the same period of the previous year (Note 22.b to the annual financial statements).
3.3.2 Debt structure
Adjusted net financial debt at 31 December 2025 was down EUR 1,490 million to EUR 50,182 million (a reduction of EUR 1,635 million to EUR 50,037 million excluding Mexico; Note 22.b to the annual financial statements), compared with EUR 51,672 million as at 31 December 2024. This was due to the FFO generated, the capital increase carried out, and the asset rotation and partnerships plan, which enabled debt levels to fall below those at the end of 2024.
Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements provides a reconciliation between the headings of the consolidated Statement of financial position and the various debt aggregates referred to in this section 3 of the consolidated Management Report.
The structure by interest rate and currency of the debt classified under "Bank borrowings, debentures or other marketable securities" after hedging is shown in Note 29.
In line with its strategy to minimise financial risks, the Group continues to mitigate currency risk by financing its international businesses in local currencies (pound sterling, Brazilian real and US dollar) or in the functional currency (US dollar, in the case of Mexico). Interest rate risk is mitigated through the issuance of fixed-rate debt, derivatives and future financing hedges.

| Loans, bank credit and other | 8.40 % | 9.70 % |
| Total | 100.00 % | 100.00 % |
The IBERDROLA Group has a comfortable debt maturity profile, with the average maturity of its adjusted gross financial debt standing at more than six years. The maturity profile of the IBERDROLA Group's debt classified under "Bank borrowings, bonds or other marketable securities" at year-end 2025 is shown in Note 29.
The average maturity of bank borrowings, bonds and other marketable debt securities is calculated pro rata to the maturity date of the long-term debt instruments, thus excluding short-term transactions:
- Issues of domestic commercial paper (USCP) and Euro Commercial Paper (ECP) (Note 29 to the annual financial statements).
- Drawdowns on credit facilities (Note 29 to the annual financial statements).
- Unpaid accrued interest (Note 29 to the annual financial statements).
- Derivatives on treasury shares: swaps on treasury shares, put options sold and accumulators (Note 22 to the annual financial statements).
3.4 Working capital
Working capital was up EUR 3,095 million on December 2024, largely due to:
- assets held for sale in Mexico, onshore France, Energyworks, Hungary and Dardanelos, together with the associated liabilities, increased working capital by a net EUR 2,392 million, comprising EUR 3,137 million in assets and EUR 745 million in liabilities;
- nuclear fuel was up EUR 116 million, while inventories fell by EUR 623 million, mainly due to the deconsolidation of the OFTO (Offshore Transmission Owners) of the East Anglia Three Limited (EA3) transmission line following the sale of 50% of the company;
- trade and other receivables and trade payables and other current liabilities increased working capital by EUR 429 million, with an increase of EUR 1,122 million and a reduction of EUR 693 million, respectively;
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries
318
- mainly due to the reclassification to current status of the receivable for the deductibility of goodwill following the favourable ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union;
- the change in derivatives, mainly commodity derivatives, led to a deterioration in working capital of EUR 294 million;
- the reduction in the balance of public administration payables increased working capital by EUR 1,023 million; and
- the net effect of other items improved working capital by EUR 52 million.

4. Main risks and uncertainties
The IBERDROLA Group has implemented a comprehensive risk control and management system, designed in line with international best practices. Under this system, the Risk Bases and Guidelines are approved on an annual basis, thus setting the risk appetite at both Group level and for each of the main businesses and corporate functions. Detailed information on the system (including its constituent elements, taxonomy and stakeholders) can be found in section 8.1 of Iberdrola, S.A.’s 2025 Annual Corporate Governance Report, which also includes the main risks that materialised during the year.
The most significant risks and uncertainties faced by the Group are described below, with some of them shown in the following chart, as presented in the “Financial management” section of the IBERDROLA Group Capital Markets Day held on 24 September 2025.

The IBERDROLA Group considers the risks described in this section to be material for the purpose of making an informed investment decision. However, the Group is also exposed to other risks that could arise in the future. The categories and risk factors within each category are not listed in order of importance. It should also be noted that some of these risks could have a reputational impact were they to materialise.
The technological, geographic and business diversification of the IBERDROLA Group helps to mitigate the impact of these risks on the Group’s consolidated results.
Looking at Mexico, the IBERDROLA Group entered into an agreement on 31 July 2025 for the sale of its assets in that country (generation and commercial activities) to COX ABG Group, S.A., with the deal expected to be completed in 2026. For this reason, the related risks are not analysed in detail below. These assets were accounted for as held for sale at the end of 2025. Their overall risk profile, and their relative weight within the IBERDROLA Group, were similar to those reported at the end of 2024.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 320
For the purposes of determining the exposure of each subholding company and the Group's businesses to the risks, Notes 8 and 38 to the financial statements provide relevant financial information in this regard, while section 2.2 of the Management Report provides operational information.
The "Financial management" section of the IBERDROLA Group Capital Markets Day held on 24 September 2025 includes sensitivity analyses of consolidated net profit and EBITDA to changes in key variables.
Lastly, the IBERDROLA Group has a property development business that is subject to the risks inherent to such activity.
4.1 Credit risk
The Group faces risks associated with the potential failure of a counterparty to fulfil its contractual obligations, leading to financial or economic loss. These include settlement and replacement cost risks, as well as risks related to volatility in exchange rates, interest rates, and inflation, alongside those affecting solvency and liquidity.
Note 27 of the financial statements provides detailed information on the Group's pension plans.
4.1.1 Credit risk
The IBERDROLA Group is exposed to the credit risk arising from the possibility that counterparties (customers, suppliers, financial institutions, partners, insurers, etc.) fail to comply with contractual obligations.
Risk is properly managed and limited, depending on the type of transaction and the creditworthiness of counterparties. Ex ante credit analyses are conducted on counterparties, and exposures and compliance with limits are closely monitored.
With regard to credit risk on trade receivables from electricity and gas retail supply activity in the liberalised market, the historical cost of defaults has remained below 1% of the total turnover generated by this activity across all countries in which it is carried out.
In the Networks businesses in Spain and the United Kingdom, no energy is distributed, and in the Networks businesses in the United States and Brazil, the cost of bad customer debt is typically recovered through tariffs.
4.1.2 Financial risks
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 321
a) Interest rate risk
The IBERDROLA Group is exposed to the risk of fluctuations in market interest rates affecting cash flows and the market value of debt in respect of items in the Statement of financial position (debt and derivatives). In order to adequately manage and limit this risk, each year the IBERDROLA Group determines the desired debt structure between fixed and variable, based on the structure of its EBITDA and decides on the best course of action to be taken during the year to achieve this: taking on new financing (at fixed, variable or indexed rates) and/or arranging interest rate derivatives.
Bank borrowings, bonds and other marketable securities arranged at floating interest rates and cash placements of the IBERDROLA Group are largely pegged to market rates (mainly Euribor, SONIA, SOFR and the IPCA CDI for the debt of the Brazilian subsidiaries).
The IBERDROLA Group also arranges derivatives to hedge interest rate risk on future financing. The volume of such derivatives arranged by the IBERDROLA Group at 31 December 2025 is described in Note 30 to the consolidated Financial Statements.
The Group's debt structure at 31 December 2025, after considering the hedge provided by the derivatives and the exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, is included in Note 29 to the financial statements.
b) Currency risk
Currency risk resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency rates compared to the functional currency can occur in the following scenarios:
- Collections and payments for supplies, services, equipment acquisition or commodities in currencies other than the operating currency.
- Income and expenses indexed to currencies other than the functional currency.
- Debt and financial expense denominated in currencies other than the operating currency.
- Consolidated profit or loss of the foreign subsidiaries (mainly US dollar, pound sterling and Brazilian reais), since the IBERDROLA Group's reporting currency is the euro.
- Consolidated net equity value of investments in foreign subsidiaries.
- Expense for taxes in Mexico because the operating currency (United States dollar) differs from the currency for purposes of calculation of corporate tax (Mexican peso). This risk is expected to be eliminated following completion of the sale of the Group's assets in Mexico, which is estimated for 2026..
The IBERDROLA Group reduces this risk by:
- Carrying out all its economic flows in the operating currency of each Group company, provided that this is possible and economically viable and efficient, or otherwise through the use of financial derivatives.
- Financially hedging, as far as possible, the risk of transfer of earnings expected for the current year, thereby limiting the ultimate impact on Group earnings.
- Financially hedging, as far as possible, the exchange rate risk in the Mexican corporate tax, thereby limiting the ultimate impact on the earnings of Mexico and of the Group.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 322
- Mitigating the impact on the consolidated net equity value of a hypothetical depreciation of currencies due to the Group's investments in foreign subsidiaries by maintaining an adequate percentage of foreign currency debt, as well as through financial derivatives.
The sensitivity of consolidated profit and equity to changes in the US dollar/euro, pound sterling/euro and Brazilian real/euro exchange rates is described in Note 4 to the financial statements. Detailed information on foreign currency debt is included in Note 29 to the financial statements.
c) Liquidity risk
The exposure to adverse situations in the debt or capital markets, liquidity requirements in clearing houses, or to events resulting from the IBERDROLA Group's economic and financial position might hinder or prevent the IBERDROLA Group from obtaining the financing required to properly carry on its business activities.
The Group's liquidity policy is designed to ensure that it can meet its payment obligations without having to rely on financing under unfavourable terms. To achieve this, various management strategies are employed, including maintaining a strong cash position and ensuring access to sufficient committed credit facilities in terms of amount, duration, and flexibility. The Company also diversifies its financing sources by accessing different markets and geographical regions, and it spreads out the maturities of its issued debt.
Cash and cash equivalents, liquid assets, short-term investments and loans and receivables are shown in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.
d) Solvency risk
The IBERDROLA Group faces the risk of its financial situation getting worse and leading to a downward revision of the credit rating assigned by rating agencies, which may make financing more expensive or unavailable.
In order to mitigate this risk, the IBERDROLA Group continuously monitors the solvency and equity ratios most commonly followed by rating agencies as well as the risks that may have an impact on those ratios in order to anticipate or undertake actions aimed at correcting possible instances of non-compliance.
Moreover, communication is active with investors and rating agencies in order to explain the performance of financial indicators and their deviations, if any.
e) Other indexing processes
Risks may also arise from other indexing processes (inflation, prices of industrial metals, fuels, etc.), which are often included in contracts for the acquisition of equipment or construction materials for projects or new facilities, and where fluctuations in the reference or other index may affect the total cost of supply.
In a bid to mitigate this effect, use may be made of market risk hedging mechanisms and/or financial derivatives arranged in highly probable transactions.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 323
4.2 Market risk
The Group encounters risks linked to key business variables, such as demand trends, product portfolio positioning and management, natural resources, competition, and uncertainty arising from the volatility of prices of key variables (such as electricity and gas prices and related commodities) and, in the networks business, risks associated with the recognition and remuneration of the investments undertaken.
The Group operates in the regulated segments of electricity transmission and distribution in the United Kingdom (through ScottishPower), the United States (through AVANGRID) and Brazil (through NEOENERGIA), as well as in electricity distribution in Spain. In the United States, the Group also has a presence in the natural gas distribution sector. In the United States and Brazil, services are also provided to customers who benefit from the regulated rate.
The IBERDROLA Group's renewable generation business is carried out predominantly in Spain, the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Australia, France, Germany and other countries. The Group also has thermal generation assets in Spain and Brazil. The Group also has back-up plants for its renewable business in the United States and Australia.
The IBERDROLA Group operates a liberalised electricity and gas supply business serving end customers in Spain, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Portugal, Australia and other countries, as well as a regulated gas and electricity supply business in Spain.
4.2.1 Networks business
The Group targets its activity in this segment on assets under long-term concessions or licences, in addition to electricity transmission assets awarded in competitive auctions, as is the case at NECEC (AVANGRID) and certain assets in Brazil.
The regulations of each country in which the IBERDROLA Group's networks businesses operate establish frameworks, which are regularly revised, that set pre-defined remuneration tariffs. These frameworks include diverse incentives and penalties, such as for efficiency, service quality and default management (in the latter case, at AVANGRID and NEOENERGIA). Any structural and significant changes to the aforementioned regulations may represent a risk for said businesses. Regulatory litigation may arise from time to time, in addition to the uncertainty related to the terms under which tariffs are revised.
In general, the profitability of the IBERDROLA Group's network businesses is not exposed to demand risk, except for the Brazilian subsidiaries.
The IBERDROLA Group's network businesses in Spain and in the United Kingdom do not sell energy, so they are not exposed to any market risk associated with energy prices or demand.
The Group's network businesses in Brazil and some networks subsidiaries of AVANGRID in the United States sell energy to regulated customers at a previously approved tariff. Assuming prudent procurement management in line with the requirements established by each regulator, the regulatory frameworks in both countries ensure the recovery, through subsequent tariff reviews, of any deviations in the associated costs compared with those previously recognised in the tariff.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 324
That being said, in the case of extraordinary events (extreme drought in Brazil, catastrophic storms in the United States, etc.), occasional temporary imbalances between payments and collections may arise with an impact on the cash on hand of some of these businesses and potentially on profits recognised under IFRS.
In addition, the networks businesses face risks relating to the non-recognition of investments, uncertainty regarding the conditions for the renewal of concessions, non-recovery of financial costs and, finally, a lack of alignment between the indexation of regulated revenues and cost trends arising from higher inflation (particularly in Spain).
It should also be noted that, in November 2025, Iberdrola Australia was selected as a strategic partner to carry out the VNI West transmission line infrastructure project, which will ultimately connect the states of Victoria and New South Wales in Australia. As the successful bidder, Iberdrola will work alongside VicGrid on the design and development of the project and will subsequently submit a proposal to build and operate the asset under an ownership model. The expected construction completion date is 2030.
a. Spain
The current regulatory model is based on Electricity Industry Law 24/2013 of 26 December, as further implemented by various CNMC circulars. The model is based on recognised historical investment (as at 31 December 2014), plus any additional investments made since then. Under this model, remuneration is provided for capital, depreciation and certain operating and maintenance costs, which increase as investments are made. The total remunerated investment amount increases annually with the new investments made. Quality incentives and losses (technical and commercial) are added to this. Remuneration is also set for other regulated activities required for the activity, such as reading, subscription, structure, etc. Neither the remuneration nor the asset base are currently revised annually for inflation.
On 30 December 2025, following their publication in the BOE (Spanish Official Government Bulletin), the rate of return applicable to the six-year regulatory period 2026–2031 (WACC of 6.58%, pre-tax, nominal), as well as the methodology for calculating the remuneration of electricity distribution activity during that period, were established. In addition, in the last quarter of 2025, the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge submitted for public consultation a draft Royal Decree regulating investment plans for electricity distribution networks, which is expected to be approved in the first half of 2026. Once approved, this Royal Decree was expected to allow recognised investment for the 2026–2030 period to increase above the current investment cap set as a function of GDP.
Since 2023, there has been no officially published remuneration, which is settled on a provisional basis. This activity is also overseen by the Markets and Competition Commission (CNMC), which conducts inspections to verify the recognition of costs and investments incurred.
While there is some credit risk associated with electricity retailers and direct market customers in relation to charges associated with network tariffs, this risk has historically remained at low levels.

b. United Kingdom
The group operates in the United Kingdom through its subsidiary Scottish Power, Ltd., which manages the following licences:
- SP Distribution PLC (SPD), SP Manweb PLC (SPM) and SP Electricity North West (SP ENW, in which 88% of the share capital is controlled).
- SP Transmission PLC (SPT).
The RIIO framework (Revenues = Incentives + Innovation + Outputs) regulates the remuneration of transmission and distribution activities in the United Kingdom. Under this framework, incentives are provided to encourage innovation and efficiency in the delivery of services by the companies involved.
The current regulatory framework is based on a TOTEX model. Each year, recognised capital expenditure and operating and maintenance costs are grouped together, giving rise to TOTEX. A portion of TOTEX is capitalised in the RAV (Slow Pot) and remunerated through the recognition of a regulated return (WACC) and depreciation over the regulatory useful life. The remaining, non-capitalised portion is remunerated in the same year (Fast Pot). Revenues are updated annually in line with inflation.
Remuneration also incorporates the TOTEX sharing mechanism, remunerated innovation investments, recognition of tax obligations and the application of a package of incentives and penalties defined ex ante, relating to safety, environmental impact, customer satisfaction, social obligations, delivery of connections, quality of service and delivery of investments.
Notably, mechanisms exist (Uncertainty Mechanisms) whereby the revenues set at the start of each regulatory period (baseline allowances) can be adjusted if, during the period, certain projects reach a sufficient level of maturity.
The recognised WACC (in real terms) is 4.1% for SPD, SPM and SP ENW and 3.5% for SPT. The review for SPT (RIIO-T2) is valid from April 2021 to March 2026. The review for SPD, SPM and SP ENW (RIIO-ED2) is valid from April 2023 to March 2028. In December 2025, the UK regulator (Ofgem) published the Final Determination setting the regulatory framework for RIIO-T3, which will be in force from April 2026 to March 2031, establishing an allowed average WACC for SPT of 5.65% on a semi-nominal basis.

- The method for calculating the ROE for the transmission business is currently under review by FERC.
Companies carrying on regulated business in the United States are exposed to risks associated with the regulations of a number of federal regulatory bodies (FERC, CFTC, DEC) and state commissions, responsible for establishing the regulatory frameworks for the various companies.
Broadly speaking, the regulatory framework for companies engaged in regulated activities in the United States is based on the recognition of a regulated asset base ("rate base"). Capital is remunerated on the basis of the asset base through the recognition of a return on equity (RoE), the equity portion of the capital structure, and depreciation over the useful life of the assets. The debt component of the asset base is also remunerated. Moreover, the asset base may be increased annually through the capitalisation of recognised investments. The regulatory frameworks also provide for remuneration related to operation and maintenance activities, along with energy procurement costs. Remuneration is also affected by the quality of service provided, together with mechanisms to reconcile various costs (such as storm-related costs, vegetation management plans, energy supply and bad debt).
With the recent entry into operation of the NECEC transmission project, 1,200 MW of baseload hydroelectric power will be supplied from Quebec to New England. The power line benefits from long-term regulated revenues with Hydro-Québec and Massachusetts electric utilities.

d. Brazil
The IBERDROLA Group operates in Brazil through its subsidiary NEOENERGIA, which in turn has the following subsidiary companies engaged in the networks business:
| Company | State | WACC |
|---|---|---|
| Neoenergia Elektro | São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul | 7.42% |
| Neoenergia Coelba | Bahía | 7.42% |
| Neoenergia Pernambuco | Pernambuco | 8.06% |
| Neoenergia Cosern | Rio Grande do Norte | 7.42% |
| Neoenergia Brasilia | Federal District | 7.15% |
In addition, for each company, the tariff review period, the frequency of reviews and the concession expiry date are included:
| Company | Tariff review | Frequency (years) | End of concession |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neoenergia Elektro | August 2027 | 4 | 2028 |
| Neoenergia Coelba | April 2028 | 5 | 2027 |
| Neoenergia Pernambuco | April 2029 | 4* | 2060 |
| Neoenergia Cosern | April 2028 | 5 | 2027 |
| Neoenergia Brasilia | October 2026 | 5 | 2045 |
- After 2029, tariff reviews will take place every five years.
ANEEL is currently drawing up the addendum for the extension of the distribution companies' concession contracts, which are due to expire in the coming years. The addendum is expected to be signed in early 2026, once approved by the Ministry of Mines and Energy. Neoenergia Pernambuco has already renewed its concession contract, while Neoenergia Brasilia renewed its concession contract in 2015.
Brazilian legislation applicable to the regulated electricity distribution business establishes two revenue streams: Parcel A and Parcel B.
- Parcel A recognises energy costs, transmission costs, non-technical losses (unauthorised connections), sector charges and bad debt (in renewed concessions), which may be recovered through tariffs ("pass-through") in accordance with the conditions and limits imposed by ANEEL. Each year, Parcel A costs are calculated in order to pass the updated costs through to consumers. Energy procurement costs are not subject to risk, provided that contracted energy is between 100% and 105% of the required demand.
- Parcel B recognises the return on investment through the regulated rate of return (WACC) and depreciation over the useful life of the assets, as well as operating and maintenance costs and, in non-renewed concessions, bad debt. Operating and maintenance costs, as well as bad debt, are calculated using a benchmark model that compares all electricity distribution companies in the country and determines efficient cost levels, thus creating an incentive or a risk for the investor. Parcel B is updated annually in line with inflation. As part of the tariff review process, Parcel B costs are adjusted every four or five years.

The liberalisation process continues. Since January 2024, medium- and high-voltage customers have been able to choose their retail supplier. With the implementation of Provisional Measure 1304, the market is expected to be fully opened up (25 November 2027 for industrial and commercial consumers, and 25 November 2028 for residential consumers). The costs of over-contracting or involuntary exposure of distribution companies resulting from customer migration will be shared among all consumers (both free and regulated), creating a new tariff.
Remuneration from transmission assets awarded through auctions follows a different approach from that described above. The revenues from such assets correspond to those obtained at the auction (RAP, Receita Anual Permitida), with certain adjustments made over the asset life based on inflation (annually) and changes in interest rates (every five years).
4.2.2 Production and customer supply activities
The IBERDROLA Group is engaged in the production of renewable energy, which it carries out mainly in Spain, the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil and other countries (notably Australia, France and Germany). This segment includes hydroelectric, wind (onshore and offshore) and photovoltaic generation, as well as storage (pumping and batteries) technologies.
The IBERDROLA Group also has a wide array of thermal production plants in Spain, and a single thermal power plant in Brazil. There are also back-up plants for its renewable energy business in the United States and Australia.
Last but not least, the IBERDROLA Group is present in the retail supply of electricity and gas to end customers in Spain, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Portugal, Australia, and other countries.
Market risk
Market prices for electricity, both wholesale and retail, are closely correlated with the prices of fuel (predominantly gas) and with the cost of the emission allowances needed to produce electricity. These prices are subject to uncertainty (varying according to the structure of each country's electricity market and its regulation). Forward electricity prices are further influenced by projections of new generation plants coming on stream and of increases or decreases in future reserve capacity.
The margin of the generation and commercial segments is subject to the risk of the spread between the price obtained (either from customers in the case of retail sales or from the markets in the case of wholesale sales) and the cost of production. In the case of sales to customers, the uncertainty in the margin is strongly influenced by the greater or lesser degree of competition between retail suppliers.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 329
The IBERDROLA Group's exposure to market risk is low overall, due to:
-
A significant portion of its renewable generation is sold under long-term regulated fixed tariffs (for example, at the East Anglia 1, Wikinger and Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farms, and ACR contracts in Brazil). Moreover, part of the generation benefits from regulatory support mechanisms (ROCs in the United Kingdom, GdOs in Europe, green certificates and tax credits in the United States, LGCs in Australia, etc.), which provide additional income with which to recover the investment. The East Anglia 2 and East Anglia 3 offshore wind farms (and certain onshore wind farms) in the United Kingdom are covered by CfDs.
-
Energy that does not benefit from a regulated tariff is sold mainly to end customers in Spain, the United Kingdom, Brazil, the United States, Portugal and Australia, both through long-term PPAs and in the retail segment. Energy is sold at fixed or indexed prices, alongside other services, for delivery within the usual time frames of the retail markets of the countries in which it operates. The offsetting of risk positions between generation and customer sale activities therefore offers a natural risk-hedging mechanism. The remaining risk is mitigated through wholesale market transactions (through physical transactions and derivatives). Notably, the Group has a high proportion of long-term fixed-price energy sales contracts at AVANGRID (for both onshore assets and the Vineyard offshore wind farm), as well as in Australia and Germany (for the Baltic Eagle and Windanker offshore wind farms, the latter still under construction).
-
In new investments, incentives are provided for sale at regulated prices or the signing of long-term fixed-price PPAs.
-
Centralised management of positions by a specialised area (Energy Management), including the sale and purchase of surpluses and shortfalls.
In markets where there is insufficient uncommitted own production (mainly Australia), Energy Management procures electricity and gas for sale to retail customers at wholesale market prices (spot or forward), in line with customary practices in each country.
Business risks
-
Resource availability: the Group's renewable energy businesses may be exposed, to a greater or lesser extent, to resource risk (mainly hydro and wind and, to a lesser extent, solar). Hydrological resource risk in a given year primarily affects Spain and Portugal and, to a lesser extent, Brazil, while the risk of wind resources in a given year affects all the countries in which the Group operates. However, it should be noted that:
-
In the medium to long term, years with lower than average water and/or wind resources are offset by years with above-average overall resources. As a consequence of climate change, structural changes of the hydrological resource may be seen in the long term.
-
At global level, the Group considers that the risk of wind resources is partially mitigated thanks to the large number of operating wind farms and their geographic dispersion.
-
Demand trends: driven by the electrification of the economy, the general economic situation, energy efficiency measures, temperature trends (affected by global warming), etc.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 330
- Risk relating to the integration of renewable energy into the grid, both due to evacuation constraints resulting from insufficient network development and due to low prices (for example, caused by low demand).
- Costs of ancillary services payable by retail companies.
- Risk of price differentials between nodes or markets.
In relation to gas procurement activities, in 2025 the Group sold natural gas to end customers in Spain and the United Kingdom at fixed prices, albeit with some uncertainty arising from the spread between the purchase price and the sales price charged to customers. In the United Kingdom, gas was also sold under a variable pricing arrangement (SVT – Standard Variable Tariff), subject to the price cap set by Ofgem. In addition, the Group procured natural gas for use in combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plants and cogeneration facilities, with limited risk, as the indexation of energy purchase and sales contracts is strongly correlated.
It should be noted that supplementary discretionary trading activities are limited to certain countries, are small-scale in nature, and their overall risk is constrained through stop-loss limits, which may never exceed 1% of forecast consolidated net profit. IBERDROLA has maintained low levels of discretionary trading in recent years.
a. Spain
The Group operates a portfolio of generation plants whose output is sold mainly to its broad customer base – through PPAs or retail supply – at market prices (with the exception of renewable facilities subject to Royal Decree 413/2014). The Group also operates a regulated gas and electricity supply business.
Hydroelectric production risk
Despite the Group's significant water storage capacity in its reservoirs in Spain, its annual results depend to a large extent on annual inflows from rainfall, although in the medium to long term dry years are offset by wet years.
Wind and mini-hydro
The wind and mini-hydro capacity installed by the Group prior to 2013 was subject to a specific remuneration regime in accordance with Law 24/2013 and Royal Decree 413/2014. Said regime, combining market income and a supplement per MW, guarantees reasonable profitability before taxes to the plants, which was set at 7.398%. Royal Decree-Law 17/2019 was approved in late 2019, extending the value of reasonable profitability through to 2031. Installations commissioned before 2004 and after 2014 have a zero supplement per MW. This supplement represents less than 12% of the total revenues of the Group's wind and mini-hydro facilities in Spain.
Nuclear generation
In 2019, the Government and nuclear generators agreed on a scheduled closure plan for Spanish nuclear plants. In light of the current situation, the company considered it reasonable in 2025 to request an extension of the operating life of the nuclear facilities that were due to cease operations before 2030. If granted, this will help to reduce supply risk and the risk posed by system-wide blackouts. Until the end of their operating life, nuclear power plants are exposed to the risk of the government increasing the fees charged for their dismantling.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 331
Further information on the operational risks associated with these plants is provided in section 4.3.
Natural gas and CO₂ price risk
Given the current market conditions, the production price of the combined cycle plants defines, to a large extent, the price of electricity in Spain since combined cycles provide the marginal technology necessary to cover electricity demand.
Demand risk
In view of current market conditions, it is considered that any variations in demand that may occur over a one-year period will not change the marginal technology in the market, although they may affect market prices. Prices are mainly determined by the production costs of combined cycle power stations. This applies both when these stations act as the marginal technology, accounting for 15% of the production mix, and when their costs serve as a benchmark for bids from manageable renewable sources.
A moderate drop in demand in Spain does not affect the scheduled output of the Group's nuclear, hydroelectric and wind power plants, since there is a mandatory electricity market in Spain guaranteeing the efficient dispatch of output from all generation technologies.
Nevertheless, there is an impact if a drop in electricity demand may entail an equivalent reduction in the Group's retail sales (and the loss of the associated margin), mitigated to some extent by increasing sales of own energy on the wholesale market. This same effect of loss of margin on retail sales can be seen in the demand for gas.
b. United Kingdom
The Group is currently present in the United Kingdom and Ireland in the renewable generation business (onshore and offshore wind, solar and battery storage) and in the electricity and gas retail business.
The bulk of the Group's onshore wind farms currently in operation, as well as West of Duddon Sands wind farm, were developed under current Renewables Obligation legislation. Under such legislation, the total revenues obtained reflect the price of the energy produced (at market) and the sale of associated Renewables Obligation Certificates (ROCs).
UK regulations require that electricity suppliers meet ROC delivery date requirements per MWh sold that are 10% more than are expected to be available on an annual basis, and determine the price at which the rest must be bought, which in practice amounts to setting a reference price of the ROCs.
For facilities commissioned subsequent to 1 April 2017 (for onshore wind farms, those built from 12 May 2016), the revenue system is market-based, except for specific assets that have PPAs with large customers or that have opted for the "Contract for Difference" (CfD) remuneration scheme, which eliminates market risk for 15 years. This is the case for the East Anglia 1 offshore wind farm (in operation), East Anglia 2 and East Anglia 3 (both currently under construction), as well as new onshore wind farms (with the first project becoming operational in 2025).
The fixed prices for the projects under the CfD scheme are established on a project-by-project basis through public tenders. The counterparty guaranteeing this price, The Low Carbon Contracts Company, finances its potential payments by imposing a levy on retail suppliers in accordance with their market share, and therefore credit risk vis-à-vis this counterparty is practically zero.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 332
In relation to the retail business, following the entry into force of the Domestic Gas and Electricity Act 2018, OFGEM publishes the maximum prices that retail suppliers may charge to end customers under the Standard Variable Tariff. These price caps are reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis, in line with the methodology provided for in the applicable legislation.
In the event of changes in demand, the IBERDROLA Group's margin is affected. In the United Kingdom, the impact of temperature on energy demand is important, mainly for household customers who use gas to warm their homes.
c. United States
The IBERDROLA Group operates in the generation business in the United States through its subsidiary AVANGRID, which has onshore wind farms and photovoltaic plants in operation, an offshore asset under construction (Vineyard Wind 1) and a back-up thermal power plant (Klamath).
AVANGRID aims to secure more than 80% of its capacity through long-term PPAs and financial transactions to reduce volatility. At the end of 2025, approximately 86% of its production for 2026 (excluding volumes without efficient market hedging) was sold through PPAs and other agreements with an average duration of around 10 years.
Avangrid's offshore wind project portfolio includes the Vineyard Wind 1 offshore asset, currently under construction (806 MW, 50% stake), and the following New England Wind offshore developments:
- Vineyard Wind 1 (nearing completion) received a 90-day stop-work order from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) in late December 2025, with the exception of health, safety and environmental works, and with authorisation to continue operating at current levels. On 27 January 2026, a court in the District of Massachusetts lifted the stop-work order, thus allowing construction to resume.
- Avangrid is currently negotiating a power purchase agreement for New England Wind 1 (791 MW) in connection with an award following a call for tenders promoted by the state authorities. In a lawsuit that remains ongoing, the Federal Government has requested that a court remand New England Wind's key permits to the issuing agencies for review.
d. Brazil
In Brazil, the hydroelectric, wind and solar assets owned by NEOENERGIA have short- and long-term contracts with local distribution companies and also engage in short- and long-term trading with free-market consumers through Neoenergia's retail supplier. Under the contracts signed with distributors, any surplus or shortfall in contracted generation is settled in accordance with the type and structure of the contract. Depending on the production balance (surplus or deficit), electricity must be purchased or sold at market prices.
Neoenergia operates a 550 MW combined cycle gas power plant in the state of Pernambuco under a long-term capacity agreement expiring in 2041, aimed at ensuring flexibility in the operation of the Brazilian interconnected system.

e. International
Iberdrola Energía Internacional is the IBERDROLA Group subsidiary tasked with consolidating the Group's presence in key markets outside its main areas of operation, such as France, Germany, Poland, Greece, Italy, Australia and Portugal. Iberdrola Energía Internacional is engaged in electricity generation activities (mainly from renewable energy sources) and electricity retail activities. The company has a wide array of onshore wind farms, offshore wind farms, solar photovoltaic facilities, battery systems, hybrid facilities and backup assets, located across the various countries in which it operates.
Notable projects up and running include the Wikinger and Baltic Eagle offshore facilities in Germany. The former is subject to a long-term contract, while the latter has several PPAs that ensure a fixed stream of revenues. In France, the Group operates the Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm in the Brittany region, which has a long-term contract guaranteeing a minimum stream of revenue for 18 years, linked to changes in labour costs and industrial production prices in France.
As regards onshore generation assets, the Group's facilities are exposed to market prices in Australia, Italy and Poland, and partially in Greece and Portugal. Exposure to energy prices and green certificates is mitigated through sales under contracts with various maturities. In the remaining countries, revenue regimes are typically regulated, albeit with certain variations, but with no exposure to price risk.
The company has several projects currently under construction, notably including the Windanker offshore wind farm, located in the Baltic Sea, with long-term PPAs in place.
4.3 Financial risks
The Group faces risks of direct or indirect financial losses caused by external events or due to errors or inadequate internal processes, which could affect the ability to appropriately respond to events impacting the continuity of priority processes.
The IBERDROLA Group is exposed to the following mainly operational risks, among others:
- technological failures, human error and technological obsolescence.
- the operation of its assets;
- unavailability of spare parts;
- the development and construction of facilities (in particular cost overruns and delays);
- sabotage and/or terrorism;
- procurement and supply chain issues, including risks from supplier concentration in certain segments;
- process errors;
- natural disasters (including fires) and pandemics;
- operational resilience;
- those related to trading in markets
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 334
In relation to development activities, the Group has significant renewable and network projects under development in the various countries in which it operates. In the specific case of offshore wind projects, it should be noted that they require substantial investment at this stage, are subject to complex permitting processes, and may give rise to the impairment of investments made prior to the final investment decision.
Given the configuration of the electricity sector's value chain, the IBERDROLA Group's activities might be affected by failures in third-party infrastructures and equipment, like transmission networks, competitors' generation plants, communications networks, etc.
The Group actively manages the supply chain by ensuring the availability of components and services essential for its investments and operations. This is achieved through framework agreements and securing contracts, leveraging its purchasing power. Risks related to suppliers are analysed in detail beforehand, adopting a holistic approach, as outlined in the "Policies and procedures" section of the "Activity Report on Purchasing and Supplier Management 2024-2025", available on the corporate website.
The operational component of many of these risks could involve damage or destruction to the IBERDROLA Group's facilities and financial losses, as well as injuries or losses to third parties or damage to the environment, along with the ensuing lawsuits. These risks become a greater concern in the event of power outages caused by incidents at our distribution networks, as well as possible penalties imposed by the authorities, and also in relation to the nuclear power plants partly owned by the Group in Spain.
Although many of these factors are unpredictable, the IBERDROLA Group mitigates these risks by carrying out the necessary investments, implementing operation and maintenance procedures and programmes (supported by quality control systems), planning appropriate employee training, and taking out the required insurance covering both material damages and civil liability.
In relation to insurance coverage, the IBERDROLA Group has international insurance programmes to protect assets (insurance for material damage, machinery breakdowns, loss of profits and damage due to natural disasters) and against the liability it may incur as a result of its activities (general civil liability, liability for environmental risks, etc.).
However, this insurance does not completely eliminate operational risk, since it is not always possible, or interesting from the viewpoint of efficiency, to pass such risk entirely on to insurance companies. In addition, coverage is always subject to certain limitations and, sometimes. to excesses.
Operational risk of nuclear power plants (Spain)
One of the main operational risks of these plants is unscheduled downtime (partially covered by a loss of profits insurance policy over and above an excess).
It should also be noted that nuclear power plants are exposed to specific risks to third parties derived from the operation thereof and from the storage and handling of radioactive material. The scope of this liability is established in Law 12/2011 of 27 May on civil liability for nuclear damage or damage caused by radioactive material, the entry into force of which on 1 January 2022 set the liability of nuclear power plant operators in the event of a nuclear accident at EUR 1,200 million. Such liability carries with it the obligation to provide financial protection in the amount and to the extent specified in the law, which is assured at the IBERDROLA Group by the contracting of a nuclear civil Liability insurance policy for each facility.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 335
4.4 Technology and comprehensive security
The Group faces risks related to the effective management and operation of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT). These include risks from adopting new technologies like Artificial Intelligence, security risks to facilities, physical assets, and information systems, including cybersecurity, and risks related to compliance with regulations, such as data protection. The Group has specific policies to address these risks.
Technology risks
This encompasses IT infrastructure, including networks, servers, and applications, as well as OT systems that control and monitor industrial processes. Failures in IT and OT can lead to operational disruptions, inefficiencies, and security vulnerabilities.
Physical security and cybersecurity
IBERDROLA Group companies are vulnerable to negative impacts related to the protection of facilities, infrastructure, and personnel from physical threats such as vandalism, sabotage, terrorism and theft. Failures in physical security can lead to service disruptions, financial losses, and reputational damage.
IBERDROLA Group companies may be affected by threats and vulnerabilities in connection with information, control systems or information and communications systems used by the Group, or by any consequences of unauthorised access to or the use, disclosure, degradation, interruption, modification or destruction of information or information systems, including the consequences of acts of terrorism.
The main risks are:
- Risks related to Operations Technology (OT), such as IT and communications systems used to manage industrial operations (production, management and distribution of energy) or other operating processes such as those related to physical safety (fire protection, CCTV, alarm reception centres) or intelligent buildings (lifts, climate control, etc.).
- Those related to operations supported by information technologies (IT), particularly actions affecting the information handled by such operations, which is subject to regulation under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe and other countries, as well as the Group's classified information.
- Other cybersecurity risks having an impact on reputation.
The OT Cyber infrastructure of thermal generation and of the large hydroelectric power plants is set up to control and manage the operation of each plant from the Operation Control Centre (Despacho Central de Operaciones, DCO) in Spain and for other own local generation centres. The potential impact of a cyber-attack could put generation and the safety of the whole country's electrical system at risk.
The operating management of the Group's Networks Businesses is based on cyber infrastructures used to supervise and monitor physical electricity and gas transmission and distribution networks (with offices located in the Group's facilities) and the associated field devices. These devices may be located at the IBERDROLA Group's facilities (substations, transformer centres, etc.) or at customer facilities (meters). The potential impact of a cyber-attack could put at risk the energy supply to whole distribution areas of the Group and/or borderline areas operated by other suppliers.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 336
In the particular case of wind farms (onshore or offshore) and photovoltaic plants, said facilities are connected to Supervision, Control and Data Acquisition systems (“SCADA”) that communicate with Control Centres (CORE), from which said facilities can be monitored and controlled remotely. The global impact of a cyber-attack would affect said remote control capacity, putting operating safety at risk.
These risks are managed in accordance with the basic principles defined in internal rules promoting the safe use of IT and communications systems and other cyber assets, reinforcing detection, prevention, defence and response capabilities regarding possible attacks.
The IBERDROLA Group currently has specific insurance against cyber risks, under the terms allowed by the insurance market, which is revised and updated periodically in view of the rapid evolution and wide variety of cyber risks.
Within the IBERDROLA Group, training, awareness and compliance plans on Cybersecurity and Data Protection are in place for all professionals that include standards, procedures, guidelines and risks depending on the role performed by each professional. Specifically, it is carried out for the owners and managers of critical cyberinfrastructure and for the personnel involved in protecting it.
The Group’s various businesses have appointed specific cybersecurity managers and drawn up plans and processes for their internal networks and cyberinfrastructure, aligned with the Group’s global framework but adapted to their specific requirements.
The IBERDROLA Group complies with local rules on critical infrastructure protection in the countries where it operates. In the case of Spain, the nuclear plant of Cofrentes meets the highest requirements in terms of physical safety and cyber security within the Group. It has its own Cybersecurity Plan, in order to comply with the Spanish Critical Infrastructures Act (Law 8/2011) and the Nuclear Safety Council, as well as its Additional Technical Guidelines, and collaborates in the exchange of information through the Spanish cybersecurity plan.
Data protection
When it comes to commercial operations, the IBERDROLA Group has implemented a global model to guarantee compliance with all obligations in force in each country. In Europe, the IBERDROLA Group is subject to the GDPR. The Personal Data Protection Policy is implemented at each of the Group’s country subholding companies and is developed through local data protection rules and procedures adapted to the legal provisions applicable in each country.
4.5 Governance and sustainability
The Group faces risks associated with potential breaches of the provisions outlined in its Governance and Sustainability System, which covers transparency and good governance, human and social capital (including health and safety), natural capital, and a sustainable value chain. This includes compliance with anti-corruption and anti-fraud legislation.
In many cases, they are non-financial risks that the investment community has been paying close attention to in recent years. The impact of said risks, which are timely reported both internally and externally, can be of a varied nature, both in economic terms and reputational terms.
Iberdrola
Annual Financial Report – 2025
Iberdrola, S.A. and subsidiaries | 337
Sections 8.2 and 8.3 of the 2025 Annual Corporate Governance Report of Iberdrola, S.A. provide information on the control systems relating to the processes for preparing the Group's financial and non-financial information.
Under a continuous improvement approach, the Group complies with European non-financial reporting regulations (the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive – CSRD) and the standards approved for its implementation (the European Sustainability Reporting Standards – ESRS), with the aim of improving not only its reporting (see the IBERDROLA Group’s Consolidated Statement of Non-Financial Information (NFI) and Sustainability Information 2025), but also its processes for identifying, measuring and managing risks, opportunities and impacts associated with the following standards:
- ESRS E1 Climate change
- ESRS E2 Pollution
- ESRS E3 Water and marine resources
- ESRS E4 Biodiversity and ecosystems
- ESRS E5 Resource use and circular economy
- ESRS S1 Own personnel
- ESRS S2 Workers of the value chain
- ESRS S3 Affected communities
- ESRS S4 Consumers and end users
- ESRS G1 Business conduct
It should be noted that, in accordance with the ESRS, the IBERDROLA Group has not identified any material risks of this type, taking into account the adaptation measures already in place, with the exception of the risk associated with the impact of an increase in extreme weather events, which could affect network assets in a long-term analysis (for the 2041–2060 time horizon) and under higher-emissions scenarios.
Detailed information on these climate change risks, as well as on compliance and procurement risks, is set out below.
Fair value hedges
The IBERDROLA group has integrated mechanisms and controls into its supplier management model and purchasing procedures to ensure the effective internal implementation of sustainability improvement programmes among its suppliers. These measures help identify and mitigate potential material risks and impacts from supply activities. The tools and processes in place allow for the efficient management of this programme, for an assessment of potential sustainability risks, and for the planning of corrective action to ensure a strong sustainability performance all along the supply chain. The programme is also reviewed regularly, as detailed in the “Activity Report on Purchasing and Supplier Management 2024–2025”, available on the corporate website.

Climate change
Climate change represents a systemic global risk. Companies must do their part to combat this risk through mitigation actions, reducing their emissions and decarbonising their business model, and also by acting against the impacts of climate change, by improving their adaptation and resilience capacities.
The issue of climate change involves various risks, some of which may have increasingly significant impacts over the long term. However, these are largely not new risks for the sector. Climate change accelerates risks already identified in the IBERDROLA Group's risk catalogue (see the "General Risk Control and Management Foundations of the Iberdrola Group"). IBERDROLA classifies climate change risks as follows:
- Physical risks, associated with a potential material impact on facilities derived from the effects of changes in the climate (rising temperatures, rising sea level, variations in rainfall, increase in both the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, etc.). A distinction is made in this category between acute or one-off risks and chronic risks.
- Transition risks, linked to all risks that may arise during the gradual global decarbonisation process, such as regulatory changes, market prices, technological and reputational risks, whistleblowing, lawsuits, changes in demand, insurance costs, counterparty credit impairment, and so on.
The identification, analysis and management of climate change-related risks within the IBERDROLA Group are addressed through a multi-departmental approach, involving both corporate functions and business units. The IBERDROLA Group has an integrated risk management system that acknowledges the interconnected nature of climate change risks and their unique time frame.
IBERDROLA tackles climate change risks from a favourable position, as it has:
a Wide-ranging experience in the management of risks accelerated by climate change, both physical and transition.
b Financial strength
c Iberdrola operates a diversified business, both geographically and technologically, with a focus on network operations and emissions-free generation.
IBERDROLA has been working for several years on the implementation of the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), promoted by the Financial Stability Board, which have influenced climate-related financial disclosure regulations worldwide, including ESRS 1.
Note 6 in the consolidated financial statements of the 2025 Annual Financial Report details how this risk is accounted for during the preparation of the Group's financial statements.

Transition risks
The main transition risks, such as regulatory or market risks, usually call for management approaches implemented at country level. The Group's strategic positioning, as a result of its decision to focus its investment on energy obtained from renewable sources and networks, puts it on a good footing to face these risks. It is considered that the opportunities arising from the decarbonisation of the global economy (growth in renewables, investment in and development of transmission and distribution networks, increased demand from data centres, storage, electrification of transport and of energy uses in buildings and industry, etc.) outweigh the risks.
In emitting activities, IBERDROLA has an ambitious plan in place to reduce its future emissions.
Physical risks
These risks are site-specific, progressive, technology-related and relatively long-term, although, as in the specific case of extreme weather events, the increase in frequency and intensity can already be felt in the short term.
IBERDROLA monitors and manages the physical risks arising from climate change by means of a continuous process of improvement that integrates analysis of climate science, teams' operating experience and the application of these elements in the company's standard procedures.
There is considerable uncertainty in long-term global climate projections for these variables, along with the need to assess specific impacts on the locations of our assets.
The Group relies on mitigating factors such as:
- Regulatory coverage in the Networks business
- A diversified business (from a corporate, geographic and technological standpoint)
- Insurance coverage for these events
- Gradual renewal of the Group's assets: the fact that the impacts of chronic physical risks are primarily long-term means that it is largely the Group's future assets, and not its current ones, that will be more severely affected.
- Considering climate change factors when making decisions regarding new investments. The Group's Investment Guidelines establish the requirement to carry out a risk analysis for new assets at the final investment decision stage, including risks associated with climate change.
- Measures already implemented in operating assets, such as design specifications in generation (e.g. foundations) and networks (e.g. undergrounding of lines, design specifications, network meshing, vegetation management), digitalisation, and so forth.

Meanwhile, further progress was made in increasing the value of data through the Innovation Data Space (i-DS), the GSGIH data space, with the development of new environments designed to address specific business needs and foster innovation. The two new environments are: i-DS Open Data, which provides members with an expanded sample of network data for experimentation and the generation of new use cases, and i-DS Research, aimed at enabling agile and secure data sharing in R&D&I projects. All of this fosters a culture of open innovation and collaboration with the technological and academic ecosystem.
Another major milestone in 2025 was the staging of ENLIT 2025 in Bilbao, one of the leading international forums dedicated to the energy transition. The event provided an opportunity to showcase Iberdrola's commitment to the strategic role of electricity networks in the electrification of the economy and regional development, while also raising the profile of the Global Smart Grids Innovation Hub as a centre of innovation and knowledge in smart grids.
In terms of digitalisation, efficiency and data use, i-DE continued rolling out the BIM methodology in the design and construction of very high-voltage lines and electricity substations. This methodology has improved efficiency in decision-making, ensured centralised and real-time information management, reduced the margin of error, and enhanced traceability throughout the engineering and construction phases.
As part of the transition towards its new role as a Distribution System Operator (DSO), i-DE continues to head up projects focused on making the electricity network more flexible. In this area, work progressed in 2025 on the launch of the S2F project, framed within the regulatory sandbox of the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge and funded by IDAE. The project assesses the use of flexibility in distribution networks through two main use cases: local flexibility markets and flexible connections, with the involvement of sector associations, market operators, research centres and national distribution companies.
At the European level, i-DE continues to lead the BeFlexible project under the Horizon Europe programme, now in its final phase, with demonstrators highlighting both the opportunities and barriers to implementing flexibility services. Progress is also being made on the TwinEU project, aimed at developing a digital twin concept for a reliable and resilient European energy infrastructure, and on the ECLIPSE project, focused on implementing the European Common Reference Framework for energy consumer applications. The strategies developed under these initiatives will be tested in several countries, including Spain.
In Spain, progress continued on three projects under the Public-Private Partnership call of the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, namely ASIGNA, PlaReDET and AFOROBT. These projects aims to improve the security, resilience and advanced planning of distribution networks, while also improving the automatic detection and analysis of incidents affecting low-voltage networks. Progress was also made on several projects focused on anticipating and managing the growth of electrification and the digitalisation of networks, notably the DEMELEK project. Funded by the Basque Government, this project is looking to develop forward-looking models to estimate the evolution of electricity demand. Projects such as MICROFLEX and AZTERTUZ also moved forward, with the aim of applying flexibility, storage, automation and robotics solutions to improve supply quality and the efficiency of energy infrastructure maintenance. Progress was also made in the final phases of projects such as ASTRA-CC, focused on the development of direct current network architectures to facilitate the integration of renewables, storage and fast charging, and SensoCeT, aimed at the digitalisation and predictive maintenance of the distribution network through smart sensors at substations.

In close collaboration with SIA Partners, the University of Glasgow and Scottish & Southern Electricity Networks, the project has enabled testing in an operational environment, supporting the early mobilisation of resources and potentially reducing outage durations. Meanwhile, the D-Suite project, being developed alongside UK Power Networks, the University of Newcastle and Integrated Powertech, analysed the use of power electronics technologies in low-voltage networks to facilitate the integration of low-carbon technologies, increase available capacity and minimise the need for conventional network reinforcement. The Blade project investigated the use of offshore wind farms to support electricity network restoration following a national blackout, while Flexible Railway Energy Hubs is progressing the development of microgrid solutions for the rail sector, aimed at more efficient energy use and emissions reduction. In tandem, projects funded through the Network Innovation Allowance (NIA) are currently being developed, focusing on advanced asset management, smart monitoring and the planning of new connections.
In Brazil, several projects were undertaken in 2025 to improve the quality, reliability, efficiency and sustainability of electricity networks, while at the same time strengthening infrastructure security and digitalisation. In transmission, the use of drones and Artificial Intelligence was expanded for line maintenance activities, reducing inspection response times and operating costs by 75%, while also improving the early and more reliable identification of anomalies. In distribution, highlights included various Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) projects regulated by ANEEL, which will have a direct positive impact on network operations. The Smart Safety Eye project uses Artificial Intelligence to analyse videos and images to improve safety in field work by identifying non-compliant behaviours and helping to reduce the number of incident that occur. Meanwhile, Godel Smart Sensor AT is developing a system for remote, real-time monitoring of lines between 69 kV and 138 kV using sensors, concentrator units and analytical platforms. In addition, the Saturable-Core Reactor (SCR) project enables dynamic voltage regulation in low-voltage networks, instantly adjusting short-duration variations, reducing technical losses and improving the quality of electricity supply. When it comes to planning and digitalisation, the Climate Forecasting Platform combines numerical models of the climate system with machine learning techniques to anticipate demand and project the energy market of Neoenergia distribution companies with greater accuracy over horizons of up to ten years. Last but not least, we have the Modular Mobile BESS Project, as a mobile energy storage solution designed for regions with seasonal demand peaks, with a capacity of 9 MVA and scheduled to enter operation in the first quarter of 2026. The project is expected to deliver annual OPEX savings while helping to reduce CO₂ emissions.
