ORANGE, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Avangrid, Inc. (NYSE: AGR), a leading sustainable energy company and a member of the Iberdrola Group, announced the launch of “Where Energy Meets Humanity,” a brand awareness campaign celebrating its workforce and reaffirming the company’s commitment to accelerating the country’s clean energy transition.

“Our world is rapidly changing around us,” said Pedro Azagra, Avangrid CEO. “Climate change is not only increasing the demand for affordable clean energy, but it is also increasing the need for investments in the resiliency of our electric grid. As a country, we need infrastructure that we can rely on to generate and deliver safe and reliable clean energy for generations to come. That will take investments like we’ve never seen before. There are few companies that are addressing these changes and challenges head on like Avangrid and Iberdrola. From investing in the delivery of safe and reliable power across the northeast to generating clean energy from coast-to-coast, we are leading the United States’ clean energy transformation.”

The campaign, funded by Avangrid shareholders and produced locally, features two commercials: “Storm of the Century” and “Thriving,” which focus on the need for infrastructure investments and grid modernization as well as the actions Avangrid is taking to propel these investments forward. The ads feature Avangrid’s projects from the West Coast to the Northeast.

Avangrid’s new campaign can be seen this summer on television, digital platforms, billboards and social media in the regions where the company serves and operates, including Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Oregon and Washington, D.C.
