Iberdrola wins the Excellence Award for Investments this year as it invested $5.8bn in Brazil’s energy transition.

Focus will fall on electricity networks and renewable projects, including offshore wind and green hydrogen.

One focus is The Neoenergia Renewable Energy Complex, which lays in the state of Paraiba. Currently, it has 5.1GW of installed generation capacity, 90% of which comes from renewable sources, and Iberdrola plans to add a further 200MW through the construction of additional wind farms.

It is also home to the combined Chafariz wind scheme and the Luzia photovoltaic plant, collectively providing a capacity of 600MW, with power connected to Brazil’s energy grid via a 345km long transmission line.

Iberdrola is optimistic that the hybrid nature of the complex will allow for more efficient management of the two renewable sources, resulting in cost reductions and better use of the transmission systems.
