Description
Objectives
Financing of a set of renewable energy projects across Spain, Portugal and Germany in support of the REPowerEU initiative.
The operation is proposed to be structured as a framework loan aimed at financing part of Iberdrola's renewable energy projects in Spain, Portugal and Germany throughout the period 2023-2025. The pipeline of projects to be included under this operation will be a combination of onshore wind and solar-photovoltaic power plants.
Additionality and Impact
The project increases renewable energy generation capacity in Spain, Germany and Portugal and contributes to national and EU 2030 climate objectives. The financing of this project also contributes to Bank's lending priority objectives on Energy (Renewable Energy) as well as on climate action (transversal), and partially on economic and social cohesion (transversal). The project produces electricity from low carbon sources (solar PV and onshore wind), addressing the market failure of negative climate and environmental externalities, through the reduction of carbon emissions and air pollution (compared to fossil-fuel generation). As the schemes are expected to rely (at least partially) on revenues from the market (the wholesale market and/or unsubsidized commercial Power Purchase Agreements), in a sector characterised by incomplete markets (limited forward/hedging, lack of scarcity and locational pricing), the project improves market efficiency and competition. The schemes are expected to be located mostly in EIB Cohesion Priority regions.
The project has an excellent economic return considering the expected costs and the economic value of the electricity generated (factoring in fully the positive externalities). The promoter has a proven track record of international energy projects.
The Bank's financial contribution is considered very good and valuable to the client, as the EIB's offering is more favourable than market alternatives under various dimensions (e.g. longer tenor, availability and grace periods, convertible or revisable rates, disbursement conditions). The promoter deems financing with an "EIB Green Loan" label as a stamp of quality on its investments and environment-related procedures and consistent with its green finance framework.

Story
Repowering Europe
Jaime Celaya had always wanted to work in the renewable energy market, because of its impact on society. So, following his studies and some early professional experience, he joined Iberdrola, the largest energy company in Europe by market capitalization and a leader in renewables. In his role as a business developer, he evaluates, selects, and implements new energy projects that will help Iberdrola reach its goal of zero emissions by 2040.
“It is a very dynamic and active sector, with new technologies, new mechanisms, new techniques appearing day-to-day,” he says. “Every day, I learn something new and acquire more knowledge.”
Celaya will be working on Iberdrola’s ambitious plan to build an extensive network of 19 solar photovoltaic power plants and three onshore wind farms across Spain, Portugal and Germany.
Developing renewables across Spain, Italy and Portugal will impact these countries and the European Union’s effort to tackle climate change, while increasing energy security.
A new burst renewable of energy for Spain
Incorporating renewable energy into our grids is difficult, because it doesn’t generate electricity consistently. Unlike fossil-fuel or hydropower plants that generate electricity on demand, solar panels and wind turbines rely on weather conditions and location. This means they produce varying and partially predictable amounts of electricity, making it hard for our energy grids to maintain a stable and consistent supply. This is the so-called renewable integration challenge.
To tackle this issue, some of Iberdrola’s photovoltaic projects will include hybridisation with a battery system — combining two different sources, like wind and solar, with energy storage to ensure a more stable and reliable power supply.
In 2023, the European Investment Bank backed another two Spanish companies, Red Eléctrica and Solaria, to boost Spain’s green transition and support Europe’s energy security.
