Iberdrola S.A.

Iberdrola Response to EC proposal on Industrial Accelerator Act 18/June/2026 1. We welcome the proposal on accelerated permitting and industrial acceleration areas. However, A. It is essential to uphold the principles of better regulation, with particular emphasis on ensuring the coherence and consistency of the new framework with existing sectoral legislation.

1.Strategic opportunity to scale clean technologies The IDAA can serve as a catalyst for the deployment of clean technologies, contribute to the decarbonisation of EU industrys competitiveness and meet the EUs climate neutrality objectives 2.Central role of renewable-based electrification Flexible direct electrification powered by renewable sources must be prioritised as the most efficient, effective and scalable…

Iberdrola welcomes the review of the Public Procurement Directives, which offers an opportunity to update the framework to both fulfil its original objectives and align it with the EUs current priorities (e.g., industrial competitiveness). Some of Iberdrolas operating subsidiaries in Spain are DSOs subject to Directive 2014/25/EU.

Iberdrola welcomes the European Commissions initiative to accelerate the uptake of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) in corporate fleets. This regulation is a strategic opportunity to decarbonise road transport, strengthen the second-hand EV market, and enhance the competitiveness of the European automotive industry.

Iberdrola welcomes the forthcoming revision of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) for the 20312040 period. This revision takes place in a context marked by heightened geopolitical instability and renewed exposure of the EUs structural dependence on fossil fuels.

Iberdrola welcomes this proposal as a means to enhance transparency and visibility in the implementation of the CBAM. This will support European industry in investing in its transformation, enabling it to reduce dependence on fossil fuels sourced from third countries, which are subject to volatile prices and geopolitical uncertainties that undermine competitiveness.

Iberdrola welcomes the European Commissions Network Package and underlines the key role of strong electricity grids in enabling electrification based on indigenous, non fossil energy sources, boosting competitiveness and resilience.

The EU must enable a stable, attractive and forward-looking framework to promote network investment to address the challenges of competitiveness and energy transition, which involve estimated investments of 730 billion in distribution grids and 477 billion in transmission grids before 2040.

Iberdrola welcomes the European Commissions initiative to develop the Electrification Action Plan and the Heating & Cooling Strategy as a key pillar of the CID. We believe this legislative effort presents a unique opportunity to accelerate the decarbonisation of Europe while enhancing its competitiveness, resilience, and technological leadership. We suggest the following evidences for the Commissions assessment.

Iberdrola supports the Industrial Carbon Management strategy, which establishes that (i) CCS must be deployed at large scale to complement other mitigation actions to address hard to abate emissions, in particular industrial process emissions, and to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, and (ii) To reach net-zero economy-wide GHG emissions by 2050, the EU could need carbon removals to balance out around 400 million…

Iberdrola is happy to provide feedback to support the development of a single, clear and enforceable EU Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) guidance applicable across all EU funds. The company stresses that current approaches differ widely across instruments (Taxonomy Regulation, RRF, SCF, Cohesion Policy rules, and environmental directives), creating inconsistencies and administrative burden.

Iberdrola welcomes the European Commissions initiative to develop the Electrification Action Plan and the Heating & Cooling Strategy as a key pillar of the CID. We believe this legislative effort presents a unique opportunity to accelerate the decarbonisation of Europe while enhancing its competitiveness, resilience, and technological leadership. We suggest the following evidences for the Commissions assessment.

Iberdrola welcomes the European Commissions initiative to revise Regulation (EU) 2019/631 and Directive 1999/94/EC. We believe this legislative effort presents a unique opportunity to accelerate the decarbonisation of road transport while enhancing its competitiveness, resilience, and technological leadership. We suggest the following considerations for the Commissions assessment: 1.

Iberdrola welcomes the European Commissions proposal to revise Annex V and Annex VI of the Renewable Energy Directive, recognising the importance of strengthening the EU framework for GHG accounting and ensuring consistency across bioenergy pathways.

Iberdrola welcomes the revision of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) for the 20312040 period. To this end, we suggest the following considerations: 1) The ultimate goal of the EED should be the reduction of emissions & fossil energy imports in an efficient manner The revision of the post-2030 framework is marked by the need to: (i) progress towards the decarbonisation goals; and (ii) make the EUs economy more…

IBERDROLA welcomes the revised Renewable Energy Directive (RED) in terms of permitting issues, and the EC initiative to provide practical guidance to Member States (MS) for the identification and designation of Renewables Acceleration Areas (RAA) for wind and solar onshore projects.

Iberdrola welcomes the ECs initiative to develop an impact assessment on the revision of the EU energy security framework, as a key pillar for a secure and resilient energy supply, providing the bases for a sustainable path towards climate neutrality and enable affordable and competitive energy prices. Among the objectives and the policy options arisen, we will refer to specific elements of 3 items.

Iberdrola welcomes the Commission's initiative to revise the Network Code on Requirements for Generators, recognising the challenge of adapting connection requirements to a system shaped by renewable generation, storage, electric vehicles and new stability needs.

Iberdrola welcomes the Commissions initiative to revise national targets and flexibilities after 2030. Updating the Effort Sharing Regulation (ESR) is timely to ensure delivery of the EUs 2040 climate target ( 90% net emissions vs. 1990) and maintain a credible path to climate neutrality by 2050.

Iberdrola welcomes the ECs initiative to establish an EUwide rating scheme for DCs. Iberdrola is involved in the development of DC infrastructure through electricity supply, grid access & integrated energy solutions, including a JV with Echelon Data Centres in Spain.

Iberdrola welcomes the Commission's initiative to improve the environmental sustainability of iron and steel products and to support the development of markets for low-carbon materials. However, the design of ecodesign requirements should carefully consider their broader implications on industrial competitiveness, electrification and the energy transition.

IBERDROLA welcomes the “Fit for 55 Package” The Green Deal though the “Fit for 55 Package” offers a unique opportunity to set a proper regulatory framework that boosts momentum on the most efficient renewable alternatives to enable decarbonisation and the achievement of EU climate objectives.

We welcome the opportunity to comment on the draft REMIT II Implementing Act and support the aim of strengthening transparency and integrity. However, we would like to highlight that the proposal raises some concerns. Please find our detailed comments in the attached file.

IBERDROLA welcomes the “Fit for 55 Package” The Green Deal though the “Fit for 55 Package” offers a unique opportunity to set a proper regulatory framework that boosts momentum on the most efficient renewable alternatives to enable decarbonisation and the achievement of EU climate objectives.

Iberdrola welcomes the Commission proposal for Implementing Regulation on interoperability requirements and non-discriminatory and transparent procedures for access to data required for customer switching, as a necessary tool to promote competition and good functioning of the EU electricity supply market.

Iberdrola welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the European Commissions consultation on the draft Implementing Regulation on financial compensation for final consumers of fuels and on allowances surrendered for emissions not covered by Chapter IVa of Directive 2003/87/EC.
