Albany, New York — March 25, 2025 — Avangrid, Inc., a leading energy company and member of the Iberdrola Group, today announced that it recently won two New York Capital Region American Advertising Awards, also known as ADDY Awards. Avangrid earned a silver ADDY for Television Advertising (regional/national campaign) with its “Where Energy Meets Humanity” campaign and a second silver ADDY for Elements of Advertising (art direction) with its “Storm of the Century” spot.
“Avangrid and our partners continually produce incredibly high-quality work, and this campaign is an example of that. I am proud of them for earning this well-deserved recognition,” said Pedro Azagra, Avangrid CEO. “Avangrid is committed to our customers and their families, and we recognize that our work is vital to their livelihood.

The ads feature Avangrid’s projects from the West Coast to the Northeast.
“It is exciting to us that this work is being recognized. This campaign shines light on the cutting-edge work Avangrid is doing to promote innovative energy solutions to its customers around the world,” said Kevin Moehlenkamp, CEO of Garrand Moehlenkamp.
Avangrid’s submissions will now be considered for the District ADDY Awards.
