Edison Next acquires nine Spanish biomethane assets from Iberdrola

In Spain, Edison Next has reached an agreement with Iberdrola to acquire its cogeneration assets for slurry treatment and a portfolio of adjacent biomethane projects. The transaction includes five plants in operation located in León, Burgos, Huesca and Murcia, which total 52 megawatts (MW), as well as four biomethane projects in development phase located in adjacent areas, with an aggregate production of 340 GWh/year. 

With this operation, Edison Next reinforces its presence in Spain and its commitment to the energy transition, promoting the circular economy and the use of renewable gases. This transaction, together with two additional contracts signed in recent weeks, also contributes to consolidating the biomethane portfolio of Edison Next, which already has two projects under construction that will be launched in 2026; two that will reach “Ready-to-Build” (RtB) in the coming months; and more than 15 projects in different state of development, which represent in total more than 1 TWh/year of production.

Edison Next, backed by Edison Group know-how, combines expertise in circular economy, sustainable water management, energy recovery and biomethane and biogenic CO2 solutions. All this, with a comprehensive approach to energy efficiency, renewables and decarbonization services, which has allowed it to save more than 2,450 GWh, avoid the emission of more than 120,000 tons of CO2 and deploy more than 2,500 projects in industry, the tertiary sector and public administration.
