Cox Abg Group SA

Grupo Cox is a Spain-headquartered global utility company focused on the water and energy sectors, with operations spanning the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Founded by Enrique Riquelme Vives, the company has evolved from a renewable energy developer into a vertically integrated infrastructure and utility platform specializing in desalination, water treatment, renewable power generation, transmission infrastructure, and sustainable energy solutions. The group operates in approximately 30 countries and is committed to advancing the global green transition through technologically innovative and sustainable infrastructure projects. 

The company’s operations cover the full water cycle, including desalination, potabilization, wastewater treatment, irrigation, and industrial water infrastructure, alongside energy generation activities such as photovoltaic solar, solar thermal, and bioenergy projects. Grupo Cox has developed and constructed major international infrastructure projects, including award-winning desalination plants in Abu Dhabi, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and Ghana. The company also develops and operates electricity transmission and electrification infrastructure projects across strategic emerging markets. 

Grupo Cox has experienced rapid international growth through strategic acquisitions and infrastructure investments. In recent years, the company expanded significantly through the acquisition of energy and infrastructure assets, including the landmark acquisition of Iberdrola México, which substantially increased its generation capacity and market presence in Latin America. The transaction positioned Grupo Cox as one of the most significant private energy operators in Mexico, adding approximately 2.6 GW of operating capacity and a renewable development pipeline of more than 12 GW.
