Spanish electric utility company Endesa has announced its new 2025-2027 strategic plan, committing €9.6bn ($10.1bn) in investments – an 8% increase from previous years.
The investment surge is aligned with the National Energy and Climate Plan’s (NECP) 2030 electrification targets.
Endesa is set to allocate €4bn to enhance its electricity grid, a 45% hike compared to its 2024-2026 plan.
This expansion is contingent on regulatory progress and updates, the company said.
The Spanish utility plans to invest €3.7bn, scaling back on solar to prioritise assets with higher returns, such as hydroelectric power, including a 626MW acquisition in Aragon, and wind energy projects.
Endesa is also aiming to grow its customer base in the competitive market to 7.1 million by the end of the plan, with a focus on retaining high-value customers.
