Introduction

ACCIONA Energía is a world leader in the renewables sector. The company has taken on the mission to demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of a new energy model on the basis of sustainability criteria.

ACCIONA Energía is present in the main clean energies, in line with their varying degrees of maturity and profitability. It focuses its activities on wind energy, in which it is the largest developer and constructor of wind farms in the world.

ACCIONA Energía also develops research projects to produce hydrogen from wind power, to manufacture more efficient wind turbines and to optimise the production of biofuels, among other fields of innovation.

Personnel engaged in R&D: 34

Outstanding facilities and infrastructures related to R&D:

Three business lines:

The company bases its business strategy on several principles:
presence in the entire range of renewable energies, in the different phases of the value chain in all the relevant markets.

In agreement with the above, it defines three types of business:
Electrical business, which combines the majority of the corporate activity, and is centred on the development, construction, exploitation and operation of renewable energy facilities for electricity production.

Industrial business, which is based on the design, production and sale of wind turbines using in-house technology. It also includes the sale of thermal and photovoltaic solar systems.

Biofuel business, centred on the production of biodiesel from first use oils (with an operating plant) and from bioethanol (with a trial plant).
