In a striking display of financial prowess, the global energy leader Iberdrola has reported an impressive profit surge during the first nine months of 2024, reaching an astounding 5.471 billion euros. A substantial portion of this success stems from their asset divestment in Mexico, which contributed 1.165 billion euros. Even when excluding this unusual gain, Iberdrola’s recurring net profit achieved a solid 18.4% growth, amounting to 4.305 billion euros.
Renewables and Global Growth: The company witnessed a 23% increase in operating gross profit (Ebitda), totaling 13.269 billion euros, primarily driven by strategic investments in electric grids and renewable energy sources. This uptick solidifies Iberdrola’s vital role in the ongoing global energy transformation. The United States and the United Kingdom have emerged as pivotal regions for the company’s growth, significantly boosting their Ebitda.
Future Projections: Iberdrola has confidently raised its 2024 profit forecast to 5.500 billion euros, anticipating a 14% growth compared to the previous year. Beyond the energy spectrum, Iberdrola has secured a strong foothold in Spain’s data center industry, acquiring 615 megawatts of capacity.
Market Diversification: As part of its strategy to diversify revenue streams, Iberdrola is also exploring emerging markets in Southeast Asia and Latin America. This move not only opens new avenues for renewable energy development but also reduces reliance on mature market fluctuations.
The year 2024 symbolizes more than just financial gains for Iberdrola; it represents a forward-thinking approach to sustainable expansion and innovation in the energy sector.
