Energy
World leader in renewable energy
ACCIONA Energy is a major player in the renewable energy market, with a strong presence in over 20 countries on five continents. The company works exclusively with renewable technologies, specifically in five of them — wind, solar PV, solar thermal, hydro and biomass.
It has nearly 8,600 megawatts (MW) in property which annually produces more than 21 terawatt hours (TWh) of emissions-free electricity, equivalent to the consumption of more than six million homes. The company also undertakes projects for third parties, for which it has installed about 1,500 MW.
ACCIONA carries out projects both for the company and for third parties. Based on its experience of over 20 years in the field of renewable energy, the company provides reliable and efficient solutions based on cutting-edge technologies.
ACCIONA makes its technological capabilities available to customers at any stage of a wind or PV project, from resource assessment, processing, engineering, design, construction, operation and maintenance, which includes all the services included in EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) contracts or other types of contract.
Present throughout the wind power value chain, the company manufactures wind turbines using in-house technology through its subsidiary ACCIONA Windpower (AWP). These machines are among the most reliable and competitive in the world, and AWP undertakes projects both for the group and for other customers.
The availability of proprietary technology wind turbines, through our subsidiary ACCIONA Windpower, is a competitive advantage in this type of contract in order to offer customers technologically reliable, on-time and cost-effective wind projects. In 2013 alone, the company signed contracts for its AW3000 turbine totaling 945 MW (in Brazil, USA, Canada, Turkey, Chile and South Africa) and will reach 2,000 MW of accumulated sales of its most advanced platform this year.
