Iberdrola and Avangrid Reaffirm Commitment to
Executing the Investment Plan by 2030, Helping Achieve President
Trump’s Priority of American Energy Dominance
Iberdrola and Avangrid, Inc., today announced that Iberdrola and
Avangrid received an invitation to the Inauguration of President
Donald J. Trump in Washington, D.C. As a leading energy company,
Iberdrola and Avangrid serve more than 3.3 million homes and
business customers in major metropolitan areas, through its eight
electric and natural gas companies in New York and New England, and
operates energy generation facilities in 23 states across the U.S.
Iberdrola and Avangrid were also invited to several events to
engage with congressional and federal leaders.
With electric demand in the United States projected to grow by
as much as 16% by 2030, Iberdrola and Avangrid are demonstrating
the need for critical investments in transmission, distribution,
and grid expansion, modernization, and resilience. Avangrid
currently operates $15 billion of regulated networks assets in the
Northeast. Nearly $11.1 billion of committed investments are
already underway in New York, Maine, Connecticut, and Massachusetts
to upgrade and expand electricity and natural gas transmission and
distribution infrastructure, and for the next five years through
2030, an additional $9 billion investments are planed through new
rate cases in New York, Connecticut, and Maine.
Additionally, Iberdrola and Avangrid through its portfolio that
includes more than 75 generation facilities, are delivering over 9
gigawatts of energy to over 2 million homes and businesses in 23
states in the U.S. These facilities along with current and future
electric and gas distribution projects will help each state, and
the country, meet the growing demand for electricity, but deliver
important community benefits by creating jobs, boosting economic
growth, and contributing to the local tax base. In total, Iberdrola
and Avangrid are projected to invest over $20 billion in U.S.
networks up to 2030 and have further optional growth opportunities
in generation of more than $10 billion to help meet the energy
demand of the U.S.
