Robust investment comes at a time when U.S. energy demand is surging due to manufacturing and data center growth
Avangrid, Inc., a leading energy company and member of the Iberdrola Group, today announced it has plans to invest $20 billion in U.S. electrical grid infrastructure through the end of the decade.
The announcement comes as Avangrid and Iberdrola take part in the CERAWeek 2025 conference in Houston, Texas, the largest energy industry event in the country. Iberdrola Executive Chairman Ignacio Galán and Avangrid CEO Pedro Azagra met with key U.S. policymakers this week, including U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright and Doug Bergum, Chair of the White House National Energy Dominance Council and U.S. Secretary of Interior.

The investment plan could also include opportunities for new generation.
