The Spanish utility secures its top position among renewable energy sellers through long-term contracts, nearly doubling the volume of its closest competitor.
Iberdrola has once again secured the top spot in Europe’s Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) market, according to the latest Pexapark Renewables Market Outlook 2026. . For the third consecutive year, the group ranks as the leading seller of renewable energy through long-term contracts, with volumes nearly twice those of the second-ranked company.
The result reinforces Iberdrola’s position as a strategic partner for businesses seeking clean energy, price stability, and long-term visibility in an energy market still shaped by volatility.
A strategy built on renewables and price stability
The leadership recognized by Pexapark is rooted in a broad and diversified renewable energy portfolio, enabling Iberdrola to offer flexible and tailored solutions. The company manages PPAs across multiple markets, including Spain, Italy, the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Germany, Australia, Portugal, and Poland.
Its integrated mix of photovoltaic, onshore and offshore wind, hydropower, and battery storage allows Iberdrola to structure contracts aligned with industrial demand, delivering predictable and competitive pricing for green electricity.
Supporting corporate decarbonization
Iberdrola has signed PPAs with some of the world’s largest multinational companies across sectors such as technology, telecommunications, food retail, metallurgy, automotive, and transport.
These agreements are becoming central to corporate decarbonization strategies. They allow companies to reduce exposure to energy price volatility while strengthening ESG commitments and embedding sustainability into operational and financial planning.
Energy security and industrial competitiveness
Power Purchase Agreements are emerging as a key tool to enhance energy security by supporting the development of new renewable capacity and enabling long-term supply contracts.
Through these agreements, Iberdrola contributes to a more stable power system, facilitating greater integration of clean energy and enabling long-term energy planning. Stable electricity costs remain a critical factor for industrial competitiveness, allowing companies to plan investments and growth strategies with greater certainty while advancing toward climate neutrality.
Iberdrola’s global role in the energy transition
With 125 years of history, Iberdrola is now one of the world’s leading energy companies and Europe’s largest utility by market capitalization, valued at approximately €125 billion.
From its origins in hydropower, the group has built a business model centered on sustainability, innovation, and ethical governance. Its integrated approach, combining renewable development with local value creation, positions it as a benchmark for the sector.
Expansion and development in Italy
Italy remains a key growth market for Iberdrola. The company already operates several photovoltaic plants across the country and is advancing a pipeline of 145 projects, with a total potential capacity of 6.8 GW.
This expansion is closely tied to the development of PPAs with Italian industrial clients, supporting both national decarbonization targets and the competitiveness of the country’s manufacturing base.
An integrated model for the energy transition
Iberdrola’s leadership in the clean energy PPA market, confirmed by Pexapark’s analysis, reflects a broader strategic vision. Investments in renewables, smart grids, and energy storage are combined with long-term partnerships with businesses, creating a more stable, sustainable, and resilient energy ecosystem.
In an increasingly electrified and digital economy, long-term clean energy contracts are becoming essential tools to align competitiveness, energy security, and climate action. Iberdrola, leveraging its global scale and experience, continues to play a central role in this transformation.
