LONDON (Reuters) - Spanish utility Iberdrola (MC:IBE) said on Wednesday it will invest up to 4 billion euros ($4.5 billion) over the next four years in France to develop renewable energy.

Iberdrola said it is already investing 2.4 billion euros in the Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm in France and plans to invest in new onshore wind, solar photovoltaic and participate in future offshore wind capacity auctions.

"France is a strategic country for Iberdrola," said Ignacio Galán, chairman and CEO of Iberdrola.
