Iberdrola hired Barclays to sell assets in Mexico for $4.70 billion, El Confidencial says
July 23 (Reuters) - Europe's largest utility Iberdrola IBE.MC hired investment bank Barclays to sell 15 renewable power plants in Mexico to exit the country, Spanish news website El Confidencial reported on Wednesday, citing unnamed sources close to the operation.
Iberdrola's assets are worth about 4 billion euros ($4.70 billion), El Confidencial said, adding that the utility seeks to sell on concerns about the legal and tax stability in the country.
Iberdrola already sold 55% of its assets in the country to the Mexican government for $6 billion in 2024, which the Mexican government called at the time a "new nationalisation" of the electricity market.
The deal was in large part designed to give Mexico's state-owned power company Comision Federal de Electricidad (CFE) majority control over the local power market.
Iberdrola declined to comment, while Barclays did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
