ORANGE, Conn. — August 11, 2025 — Avangrid, Inc., a leading energy company and member of the Iberdrola Group, generated approximately 13,000 Gigawatt hours (GWh) of energy during the first six months of 2025, enough electricity to power about 2.4 million U.S. homes. The power generated from Avangrid’s growing portfolio of energy projects demonstrates the company’s recognition of critical U.S. power needs and its commitment to investments that supply reliable and affordable energy for American homes and businesses, helping to achieve U.S. energy dominance and meet surging demand growth.
“Avangrid is leading the way to help meet the nation’s growing demand for electricity, driven in large part by the rapid expansion of data centers,” said Avangrid CEO Jose Antonio Miranda. “As we expand our investments in U.S. generation and grid infrastructure, we are strengthening American energy independence and powering long-term economic growth. We will continue working with our many stakeholders to bring new projects online, ensuring families and industries across America have access to safe, reliable, and affordable power.”
Avangrid has more than 10.5 Gigawatts (GW) of energy generation capacity, with 80 operating power plants stretching from coast to coast. Earlier this year, the company announced commercial operations at three new solar projects in Texas, California, and Ohio, representing about 600 Megawatts (MW) of new capacity. This helped boost Avangrid’s solar energy production by 125% compared to the first six months of 2024. Since 2015, Avangrid has increased its generating capacity by 66 percent.
Avangrid currently has 10 projects providing more than 1.5 GW of energy to data centers and the leading companies in technology and AI. The company has five more projects, totaling nearly 700 MW, currently under construction, helping these companies meet their urgent need for power.
In March 2025, Avangrid announced plans to invest an additional $20 billion in U.S. electrical grid infrastructure by 2030. This reflects the critical need to invest in energy infrastructure to meet growing demand, as well as the United States’ position as a top investment priority for Avangrid and Iberdrola.
Avangrid’s success has contributed to Iberdrola’s global production surpassing 66,000 GWh for the first half of 2025, a 2.3% increase compared to the same period from last year. Furthermore, Avangrid helped Iberdrola’s global generation capacity exceed 57,000 MW this year.
