Antonio Sieira analyzes the evolution and future of IGNIS in Actualidad Económica
The magazine Actualidad Económica from El Mundo has published an extensive interview with our CEO, Antonio Sieira, in which he reviews the evolution of IGNIS, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year. The article highlights our company as “one of those anonymous national gems among the general public but well-known among top levels of the Administration and key players of the Ibex 35.”
From our beginnings with the acquisition and conversion of thermal assets to the consolidation of an integrated business model across the entire energy value chain, Antonio Sieira shares in the interview the key pillars that have driven IGNIS’s growth and international expansion.
Key Messages from Antonio Sieira in the Interview
– A Unique Business Model: IGNIS is a “different” company where teamwork, flexibility, and innovation are essential to providing comprehensive energy solutions.
– Diversification as a Growth Strategy: The key to IGNIS’s success lies in its ability to operate in different segments of the energy sector. From renewable energy development to energy management—holding a 7% share of the daily market and over 10% in balancing services—along with PPAs, green hydrogen projects, data centers, and the electrification of energy-intensive industries. Additionally, with a presence in 10 countries, IGNIS is focusing on strategic markets such as the United States and Italy.
– Spain, a Market of Opportunities: According to Sieira, Spain has a well-developed and sophisticated market where the high penetration of renewable energies provides flexibility and reduces costs in the energy system.
– Attracting Investors: IGNIS’s vision has captured the attention of major international funds. In 2021, VORTEX ENERGY acquired a 32% stake in the company, while in 2024, KKR entered IGNIS P2X, acquiring 50% of this industrial decarbonization platform.
IGNIS continues to establish itself as a benchmark in the energy sector, with a strategy focused on diversification, providing solutions to energy-intensive clients, and exporting a renewable energy model internationally.
