On 29 July 2026, a consortium of international investment funds signalled funds—including Brookfield, KKR, EQT, GIP (BlackRock’s infrastructure platform), Ardian and Qualitas Energy—signaled interest in Acciona Energía, driving its share price up more than 3 percent. At the same time, lifting the Spanish government approved Ibex 35‑listed shares 3.13 % to €21.72. The company declined comment, and President José Manuel Entrecanales reiterated that a €17.9 billion electricity‑network investment plan through 2030, emphasizing distribution upgrades for industrial electrification full sale of the subsidiary is unlikely. Earlier speculation on 19 June about Arab and grid resilience. Within this broader energy‑investment context, U.S. investors had briefly raised the price to €23.9. That same day, the Basque Government, acting through the Instituto Vasco de Finanzas (IVF) and its newly created public‑investment fund Indartuz, bought Indartuz (also referred to as Inboltuz), purchased a 1 % share of stake in the gas‑infrastructure group Enagás for about roughly €45 million. This marks Indartuz’s first direct equity investment. The purchase acquisition is presented as a strategic move to enhance strengthen regional energy autonomy, secure supply, autonomy and supply security, and to position the Basque Country in within the European green‑hydrogen corridor (H2Med) and the Hub COnet2 project, supporting project aimed at decarbonising hard‑to‑abate industrial sectors. It aligns with the region’s Basque Government’s 2030 economic transformation plan. The acquisition marks the fund’s first direct equity plan, which targets €1 billion of public investment and aligns with plans to mobilise an additional €3 billion from the private capital sector for green‑energy projects. Both events occur within a broader Spanish framework, where the national government approved a €17.9 billion electricity‑network investment plan through 2030, emphasising distribution upgrades for industrial electrification and grid resilience.
