What is Repsol Future Strategy?
In November 2020, Repsol unveiled a new strategic plan, the 2021-2025 Strategic Plan (21-25 SP). This will shape the transformation of the company in the coming years, involving an accelerated energy transition by a profitable and realistic pathway that ensures profitability, secures the future and creates maximum value for stockholders.
This comprises two periods: the first (2021-2022) will focus on ensuring financial robustness and will thus prioritize efficiency, investment reduction and capital optimization, while developing projects to lead the energy transition; the second (2023-2025), once the impact of the COVID-19 crisis is behind us, will focus on accelerating transformation and growth.
The Plan envisages investments totaling 18.3 billion euros. Investments in low-carbon initiatives will come to 5.5 billion euros from 2021 and 2025, or 30% of the total.
To implement the Plan, the organization will evolve by deploying four business areas (Upstream, Industrial, Customer and Low Emission Generation Businesses), supported by a more flexible and efficient Corporate division, thus enhancing performance and value creation.
