As electricity demand accelerates and grid constraints become the new bottleneck, this fireside chat features Pedro Azagra, CEO of the Iberdrola Group and USHCC Board Member, on what it really takes to deliver reliability and affordability while building at speed. Drawing on Iberdrola’s network-led investment strategy and global operating experience, Azagra will discuss how long-term capital planning, regulatory alignment, and disciplined execution can unlock new generation, storage, and load growth without breaking community trust or balance sheets. The conversation will also spotlight where Hispanic and small businesses can plug into supplier pathways, workforce needs, and procurement opportunities tied to major grid and infrastructure investment, turning big macro trends into measurable local economic wins.
