Iberdrola España and the Spanish Cancer Association (AECC) have joined forces once again this year. This Sunday, the 16th 2024 MUCHO X VIVIR Zamora Against Cancer race, which had the special support of Iberdrola España as its main sponsor, turned the city's central thoroughfares green with more than 8,000 participants.

The proceeds from this collaboration, which is part of the agreement between the two organisations, will be used to work on research to improve cancer diagnosis and treatment, as well as to raise social awareness in the fight against the disease.

Taking advantage of this charity sporting event, Iberdrola España wanted to recall one of the most innovative initiatives developed under the framework of this agreement, the Together Against Cancer campaign, through which the company offers its customers the possibility of collaborating with the association, pledging to double the amount they donate each month through their electricity or gas bill.

Iberdrola España and the Spanish Cancer Association (AECC) have a long-standing relationship that was consolidated in 2015 with the signing of a collaboration agreement aimed at cancer research. The continued commitment of the company and its customers has made Iberdrola España AECC’s main private collaborator.

For 36 million in electricity networks in the province over the next four years, a further 40 million euros will be invested in the expansion of wind farms, 4.7 million to hydroelectric infrastructures over the last two years and a recurrent fiscal contribution of more than 13 million euros per year in provincial taxes.

The company has 17 facilities in the province of Zamora with an installed capacity of 976 MW, four wind infrastructures and 13 hydroelectric plants, a clean and flexible energy that creates jobs and is committed to training professionals in a booming sector that offers jobs to young adults.
