Iberdrola announced on Sunday, November 8, 2026, that its US subsidiary Avangrid will renew more than 230 electricity transmission lines in New York State, covering a total length of 1,300 kilometres. The company said the programme is scheduled to continue through 2031 and is designed to increase network capacity, improve resilience to extreme weather and prepare the grid for rising electricity demand. The details were published in Iberdrola's announcement.

The project extends Iberdrola's focus on regulated electricity networks in the United States. The company said the New York work will strengthen supply reliability for households and businesses while supporting regional economic development. It also forms part of a broader US investment plan focused on transmission, distribution and generation assets.

US networks remain a growth pillar

Iberdrola plans to invest more than EUR 8.5 billion in US electricity distribution networks by 2028. The group said its regulated asset base in the country currently stands at nearly EUR 16 billion across New York, Maine, Connecticut and Massachusetts, with more than EUR 4 billion tied to transmission networks.

The company expects its combined regulated asset base in transmission and distribution to reach around EUR 30 billion by 2031. Avangrid operates in 25 states, including seven electricity distribution utilities that supply more than 3.4 million customers in New York and New England. Its network operations comprise more than 173,000 kilometres of electricity lines.

The United States is one of Iberdrola's strategic markets. The group plans to invest EUR 16 billion there by 2028, representing almost one-third of its total investment. Networks account for EUR 12 billion of that plan, while EUR 4 billion is earmarked for generation and customers.

Stock trades above latest Xetra close

Iberdrola stock traded at 22.99 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 11:51 CET on Monday, November 9, 1.46 percent above the Xetra close of Friday, November 6. The comparison uses the Xetra close of 22.66 euros from the previous trading session.

Investors are likely to weigh the New York programme against the capital requirements of Iberdrola's wider network expansion. Regulated assets can provide long-duration growth, but execution, permitting and financing remain relevant considerations as the company increases its infrastructure footprint. The announcement itself does not establish a direct cause for the share-price move.
