Iberdrola, creating value for society
Iberdrola España's commitment to Zamora is part of the company's deep ties with this region, where it was founded more than 120 years ago and from where it has been promoting the energy transition towards renewable and competitive energies that promote the development of a sustainable and environmentally and socio-economically responsible society.
Looking to the future, Iberdrola España will continue to invest heavily in this region in order to continue offering its almost 130,000 customers in Zamora an increasingly better quality of service. To this end, it plans to invest 36 million euros in electricity networks in the province over the next four years, a further 40 million euros in the expansion of wind farms, €4.7 million in hydroelectric infrastructures over the last two years and a recurring tax contribution of more than €13 million a year in provincial taxes.

In addition, together with the Rei Afonso Henriques Foundation, it trains young people from schools in Zamora on the risks of climate change.
