How This Energy Giant Turned Challenges into Major Wins

In an extraordinary financial performance for the first nine months of 2024, energy powerhouse Iberdrola has achieved impressive profits amounting to 5.471 billion euros. A significant boost came from the lucrative sale of assets in Mexico, contributing an extra 1.165 billion euros to their coffers. Nevertheless, even without this boost, the energy giant’s **recurring net profit** rose to 4.305 billion euros, demonstrating a strong 18.4% increase.

Driving this success was a noticeable 23% growth in operating gross profit, or Ebitda, which soared to 13.269 billion euros. **Key to this rise** has been Iberdrola’s aggressive investment in electric grids and renewable energy, propelling the company to the forefront of the global energy transition. As international growth markets, the United States and United Kingdom played critical roles, with significant Ebitda gains reported in these regions.

Looking to the future, Iberdrola has raised its profit target for the year to 5.500 billion euros, indicating an anticipated 14% uplift from the preceding year. Beyond its core activities, the company is foraying into the data center space, securing 615 megawatts of capacity, particularly in Madrid, marking a strong intent to lead in Spain’s data center industry.

As investments in data centers globally could ascend to 10 billion euros, Iberdrola’s strategy signals a robust **diversification path**. Embracing innovation, the company’s 2024 journey epitomizes its commitment to not only financial achievements but also pioneering efforts in sustainable energy and technological advancements.
