Iberdrola, a leading energy company based in Bilbao, Spain, has successfully completed a significant technology modernization project in collaboration with DXC Technology, a prominent global IT services provider. This multi-year initiative focused on migrating Iberdrola’s core business systems to the cloud, marking one of the largest IT transformations in the Spanish energy sector.
On September 8, 2025, the companies announced the successful completion of the project, which involved transferring 180 terabytes of data and over 30 million lines of code from a legacy mainframe environment to the Azure cloud. This transformation is expected to enhance operational efficiency, improve customer service, and reduce costs, while also providing new opportunities for integrating artificial intelligence technologies.
Enhancing Operations and Agility
The modernization of Iberdrola’s systems is a critical component of its digitalization strategy, according to Sergio Merchán, Global CIO of Iberdrola. He remarked, “The modernization of our core systems has been a crucial milestone in Iberdrola’s digitalization strategy. It allows us to face new business challenges, maintain our global leadership, and quickly adapt to major changes ahead.” This upgraded technology platform is designed to evolve alongside the company in an increasingly dynamic energy market.
DXC Technology played a pivotal role in this transformation by implementing automation technologies that facilitated continuous updates and improvements to Iberdrola’s applications without disrupting daily operations. The new cloud-based platform not only enhances process efficiency but also allows Iberdrola to replicate successful models across different countries while ensuring compliance with local regulations—an essential factor in the heavily regulated energy sector.
Alfonso García Muriel, President of DXC Technology Spain and Portugal, highlighted the project’s impact on innovation and operational continuity. “For Iberdrola, we successfully modernized the company’s technology to accelerate innovation, all while maintaining seamless business continuity,” he stated. “Our goal was to make technology a growth engine for Iberdrola, allowing them to be more agile, efficient, and future-ready.”
Commitment to Sustainability
The successful completion of this project underscores Iberdrola’s ongoing commitment to innovation and environmental sustainability. The modernization is expected to reduce energy consumption and optimize resource use, aligning with the company’s goals in the global energy transition. As organizations increasingly pivot towards sustainable practices, this project positions Iberdrola as a leader in adopting advanced technology to support these initiatives.
