- Cox Infrastructure Group S.A. is a vertically integrated global utility and infrastructure company specializing in water management, renewable energy generation, and transmission infrastructure. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Madrid, Spain, the company operates under an integrated Energy Follows Water business model that couples renewable energy supply with water infrastructure to optimize operational efficiency and resource sustainability. The company operates through three core business segments: Water, Energy, and Services. The Water segment develops, designs, finances, builds, and operates large-scale water treatment facilities; seawater and brackish water reverse osmosis desalination plants; municipal and industrial wastewater purification systems; and reclaimed water distribution networks managed under long-term public-private partnership (PPP) and concession agreements. The Energy segment develops, constructs, and operates utility-scale renewable power generation assets; photovoltaic (PV) solar farms; concentrated solar power (CSP) and solar thermal plants; hybrid energy generation facilities; high-voltage electricity transmission grids and substations; and sustainable biofuel production systems. The Services segment provides turnkey engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) solutions; project development and technological consulting; and comprehensive operations and maintenance (O&M) services for utility-scale water plants, industrial installations, electricity transmission networks, and clean power facilities. Cox Infrastructure Group serves municipal authorities, national governments, industrial corporations, and commercial energy off-takers across Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, North Africa, and Sub-Saharan Africa, maintaining major operations in Spain, Mexico, Chile, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, Algeria, and South Africa.
In recent corporate developments, the company has executed significant structural reorganizations and strategic expansions. Following its landmark acquisition of the core productive business units and infrastructure assets of Abengoa (Abenewco 1) in 2023, the group integrated substantial international engineering capabilities, proprietary water technologies, and global concession portfolios. In November 2024, the company completed its Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the Spanish Continuous Market (Bolsas y Mercados Españoles - BME) under the ticker symbol COXG, raising approximately 185 million euros in gross proceeds to finance equity commitments for new water concessions and accelerate energy transmission developments. In June 2026, the company officially rebranded and changed its legal corporate name from Cox ABG Group, S.A. to Cox Infrastructure Group, S.A. to reflect its consolidated identity in global critical infrastructure. Operationally, the company expanded its generation footprint in Latin America through large-scale renewable and thermal energy capacity additions in Mexico, while securing major long-term desalination and wastewater treatment concessions across the Middle East and North Africa. Furthermore, in mid-2026, the group initiated a corporate streamlining process to delist legacy secondary vehicle shares from BME Growth, consolidating its equity base and market presence under the primary BME continuous market listing.
