Iberdrola chairman Ignacio Galán agreed to develop three offshore wind facilities, each with 2.8GW of capacity, at a meeting with Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker.

During the meeting, Galán outlined the group’s US growth plan for 2020-2025 to Governor Baker.

The investment is expected to double the country’s clean energy generation capacity and support its decarbonisation efforts.

In addition to 2.8GW of offshore wind capacity, the company is developing a 1.2GW interconnection line for transporting hydroelectric power from Canada.
