The acquisition will bring the Spanish utility’s renewable capacity – mostly of wind generation – in Poland to 261MW which has become one of Iberdrola’s key growth market.
Recent financial results showed the company’s strong performance coming from its international markets, despite signing a PPA with beverage company PepsiCo in Spain to procure 590MW of renewable energy.
