CLEAN, NON-POLLUTING ENERGY
Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all
1 in 8 people still do not have access to electricity. In order to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all, it is necessary to increase the use of renewable energy from 25 % today to 38 % in 2025.
ACCIONA is positioning itself as a key player in addressing the growth in energy demand while curbing the progress of global warming and promoting the transition to a decarbonized energy model.
CLIMATE ACTION
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
The generation and use of energy is responsible for 74 % of total greenhouse gas emissions in the world. This activity is the largest contributor to global warming. Investment in renewable energy, energy efficiency and other low carbon technologies will continue to be essential to meet the new needs of humanity and to minimise their negative impact on the environment.
ACCIONA considers the fight against climate change and its related effects to be a strategic priority. The Company is working to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in order to contribute to the progress of society and respond to the main challenges of sustainable development in the areas of infrastructure, water and energy, leading the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Since 2017, ACCIONA has provided energy services for 400 municipal buildings of the Madrid Town Hall through the creation of a Municipal Energy Management System, the first of this scale undertaken in Spain. It allows for real-time monitoring and analysis of energy consumption to correct inefficiencies and detect opportunities, thereby saving costs and reducing CO2 emissions.
Thanks to ACCIONA's Digital Energy Services Control Centre, information is analysed and immediately responds to alarms for abnormal consumption, thus improving operational performance and detecting inefficient consumption patterns.
- Energy audits and diagnostics to identify improvements.
- Energy monitoring, demand management, analysis, reporting, etc.
- Replacement of equipment and installations with new technologies.
