Biden giving a speech in the offshore windfarm

Biden visits Iberdrola’s offshore wind farm in the US / Biden visita instalaciones de eólica marina de Iberdrola en EE.UU.

Posted on August 3, 2022August 2, 2022 by BP

The three parks promoted by Iberdrola represent an investment of 11 million euros and will create 11,000 jobs.

Los tres parques que promueve Iberdrola suponen una inversión de 11 millones y crearán 11.000 empleos.

The President of the United States, Joe Biden, today visited one of the facilities that form part of the plan of Iberdrola’s listed subsidiary in the country for the construction of offshore wind projects in New England. The electricity company chaired by Ignacio Galán will invest 10 billion dollars in them over the course of this decade.

The three offshore wind farms are already under construction or in advanced development, and all of them have long-term power sales contracts in Massachusetts and Connecticut. They will have a total capacity of 2,800 MW, create nearly 11,000 new jobs and provide emission-free power for nearly 1.6 million homes and businesses. The first of the three farms, Vineyard Wind, will be the first large-scale wind farm in the United States and will begin producing power by the end of next year. Iberdrola is demonstrating its pioneering role in this sector in the United States.

As part of the proposal made in the award of the third of the offshore wind farms, Commonwealth Wind, Iberdrola undertook to develop Massachusetts first offshore wind cable manufacturing facility on the site of a former coal plant in Somerset, Massachusetts (Brayton Point), which Joe Biden visited today. The factory, which will create numerous local jobs, is expected to open in early 2026 and supply cables to Iberdrola Commonwealth Wind projects such as Park City Wind.

Biden met with the chairman of Iberdrola, Ignacio Galán, and was accompanied by 25 US officials and businessmen. Also present were the President’s National Climate Advisor and former head of the U.S. Environmental Agency, Gina McCarthy, and several members of Congress from Massachusetts. The US President’s visit to the future offshore wind cable manufacturing facility is a statement of intent for the country’s new energy policy.


THE THREE WINDFARMS

Vineyard Wind, with 800 MW of installed capacity and an investment of 2.5 billion euros, will be one of Iberdrola’s largest in the world. In December 2021, the company was awarded a contract for the Commonwealth Wind offshore wind farm in Massachusetts. The 1,232 megawatt (MW) facility, the largest offshore wind project in New England to date, will involve an investment of $4 billion.

Also under development in the same area is Park City Wind, an 804 MW project that will supply clean energy to customers in Connecticut, while revitalising the Port of Bridgeport, home to the operation and maintenance office and warehouse for the components for construction. The project is expected to be completed in 2027.


HISTORY OF GROWTH

Iberdrola’s history in the United States is a success story. In less than two decades, the company chaired by Ignacio Galán has become, through its listed subsidiary in the country, one of the largest groups in the North American electricity sector, listed since 2015 on the New York Stock Exchange. It has contributed to Iberdrola becoming the most valuable company on the Spanish stock exchange with a market capitalisation of 61,000 million euros and the leading European energy company.

The company is present in 25 states and manages more than 9,300 megawatts (MW) of installed capacity, of which more than 8,500 MW of renewable energy (mainly wind and solar photovoltaic), and more than 170,000 kilometres of power lines through eight distributors in New York, Connecticut, Maine and Massachusetts. In addition, the Spanish company has a portfolio of high quality renewable projects in the United States of more than 22,000 MW, which represent a stable platform for continued growth over the next few years as the country meets its decarbonisation targets.

In addition to being one of the three largest wind and solar energy companies in the United States, Iberdrola is a leader in offshore wind, with a portfolio of more than 5,300 MW at the end of the first quarter of 2022.

Iberdrola also owns the Kitty Hawk development area (2,500 MW) in the waters off North Carolina and Virginia and has begun the process of obtaining permits from the Federal Office of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) for the Kitty Hawk North wind farm (800 MW), the first project planned in this area.

Thanks to the company’s commitment to renewable energy, Avangrid’s CO₂ emissions intensity was already 6.5 times lower than the average for US utilities at the end of the last financial year.

Los tres parques que promueve el grupo suponen una inversión de 11 millones y crearán 11.000 empleos.

El presidente de Estados Unidos, Joe Biden, ha visitado hoy una de las instalaciones que forman parte del plan de la filial cotizada de Iberdrola en el país para la construcción de proyectos eólicos marinos en Nueva Inglaterra. La eléctrica que preside Ignacio Galán invertirá en ellos 10.000 millones de dólares a lo largo de esta década.

Los tres parques eólicos marinos están ya en construcción o desarrollo avanzado, y todos ellos tienen contratos de venta de energía a largo plazo en Massachusetts y Connecticut. Tendrán una capacidad total de 2.800 MW, crearán casi 11.000 nuevos puestos de trabajo y suministrarán energía libre de emisiones para casi 1,6 millones de hogares y empresas.El primero de los tres parques, Vineyard Wind, será el primero a gran escala de Estados Unidos y empezará a producir energía a finales del año que viene. Así, Iberdrola demuestra su carácter pionero en este sector en Estados Unidos.

Como parte de la propuesta realizada en la adjudicación del tercero de los parques eólicos marinos, Commonwealth Wind, Iberdrola se comprometió a promover la primera instalación de fabricación de cables para eólica marina de Massachusetts en los terrenos de una antigua planta de carbón en Somerset, Massachusetts (Brayton Point), la que hoy ha visitado Joe Biden. Se espera que la fábrica, que creará numerosos empleos locales, abra a principios de 2026 y suministre cables a los proyectos de Iberdrola Commonwealth Wind como a Park City Wind.

Biden se ha reunido con el presidente de Iberdrola, Ignacio Galán, y ha estado acompañado de 25 autoridades y empresarios estadounidenses. También han estado presentes la asesora nacional del presidente para el clima y antigua líder de la Agencia Medioambiental de Estados Unidos, Gina McCarthy, y varios congresistas por Massachusetts. La visita del presidente de EE UU a la futura instalación de fabricación de cables para eólica marina es una declaración de intenciones sobre la nueva política energética del país.


LOS TRES PARQUES

Vineyard Wind, con 800 MW de potencia instalada y una inversión de 2.500 millones de euros, será uno de los mayores de Iberdrola en el mundo. En diciembre de 2021, la compañía se adjudicó un contrato para el parque eólico marino Commonwealth Wind, en Massachusetts. La instalación de 1.232 megavatios (MW), el mayor proyecto eólico marino de Nueva Inglaterra hasta la fecha, supondrá una inversión de 4.000 millones de dólares. 

También está desarrollando en la misma área Park City Wind, un proyecto de 804 MW que suministrará energía limpia a los clientes de Connecticut, a la vez que revitalizará el puerto de Bridgeport, sede de la oficina de operación y mantenimiento y almacén de los componentes de cara a la construcción. Se espera que el proyecto esté terminado en 2027.


HISTORIA DE CRECIMIENTO

La historia de Iberdrola en Estados Unidos es un éxito. En menos de dos décadas, la compañía presidida por Ignacio Galán se ha convertido, mediante su filial cotizada en el país, en uno de los mayores grupos del sector eléctrico norteamericano, cotizando desde 2015 en la bolsa de Nueva York. Ha contribuido a que Iberdrola se haya convertido en la empresa más valiosa de la Bolsa española con unos 61.000 millones de euros de capitalización y en la primera energética europea.

La firma está presente en 25 estados y gestiona más de 9.300 megavatios (MW) de capacidad instalada, de los cuales más de 8.500 MW de renovables (principalmente eólica y solar fotovoltaica), y más de 170.000 kilómetros de líneas eléctricas a través de ocho distribuidoras en Nueva York, Connecticut, Maine y Massachusetts. Además, la compañía española cuenta en Estados Unidos con una cartera de proyectos renovables de alta calidad de más de 22.000 MW, que representan una plataforma estable de crecimiento continuado durante los próximos años a medida que el país cumple sus objetivos de descarbonización.

Además de ser una de las tres mayores empresas de energía eólica y solar de Estados Unidos, Iberdrola es líder en energía eólica marina, con una cartera de más de 5.300 MW a cierre del primer trimestre de 2022. 

Iberdrola también es propietaria del área de desarrollo Kitty Hawk (2.500 MW), en aguas de Carolina del Norte y Virginia y ha iniciado el proceso de obtención de permisos por parte de la Oficina Federal de Gestión de la Energía Marina (BOEM) para el parque Kitty Hawk North (800 MW), el primer proyecto planteado en esta zona.

Gracias a la apuesta de la compañía por las energías renovables la intensidad de emisiones de CO₂ de Avangrid eran ya a cierre del último ejercicio 6,5 veces inferiores a la media de las utilities de Estados Unidos.
