Iberdrola has held a new edition of its Global Supplier of the Year Awards at its corporate headquarters in Bilbao — the Iberdrola Tower — attended by partners from countries such as Spain, the United Kingdom, Portugal, Croatia, Korea and the Netherlands.
On this occasion, Iberdrola’s Global Supplier of the Year Awards, which brought together more than 100 partner companies, were divided into six categories. The Group awarded its Special Supplier of the Year Award to its British partner KIRBY, with whom it is working hand in hand to modernise the country’s electricity grid.
In line with the Group’s commitment to achieving a more efficient and resilient energy system, AWS Amazon (United States) and Electrotécnica Arteche Hermanos (Spain) were awarded in the Digitalisation and New Technologies and Innovation categories, respectively.
As part of Iberdrola’s commitment to industrial development and job creation, the award-winning partners were NKT Cables Portugal, in the Best Equipment Manufacturer Supplier category, and Grupo de Arquitectura y Obra Civil SL – GAROC (Spain), in the Best Works and Services Supplier category.
Finally, under the umbrella of promoting competitiveness and sustainability, the Company recognised the Austrian company Andritz Hydro in the Involvement category and the Croatian company KONČAR – Distribution and Special Transformers Inc. in the Sustainability section.
Among others, Pedro Azagra, Global CEO of Iberdrola, and Mario Ruiz-Tagle, CEO of Iberdrola Spain, participated in the awards ceremony.
Pedro Azagra stated that “these awards reflect our commitment to a strong, innovative and sustainable supply chain. We recognise the essential role our suppliers play in advancing electrification. Iberdrola has been leading this strategy for more than two decades under the chairmanship of Ignacio Galán, promoting a self-sufficient, secure and competitive energy system capable of responding to global challenges and generating value in every territory where we operate.”
Iberdrola’s supply chain allows it to plan investments with confidence and to confidently pursue its electrification plans with renewable energies, smart grids and storage.
Transformative plan to drive electrification and create value
Last September in London, Iberdrola presented a new transformative plan for 2025-2028 that envisages investments of €58 billion, with nearly two-thirds earmarked for the United States and the United Kingdom. Of this figure, €37 billion will be allocated to electricity grids and €21 billion to renewable generation and customer projects.
These investments will involve purchases worth €65 billion from 20,000 suppliers that support 500,000 jobs worldwide. In addition, the company plans to hire 15,000 new employees over the next four years and contribute £40 billion to the public coffers of the countries where it operates.
