CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION

Ensure access to water and sanitation for all

Over 2,000 million people in the world live without access to a basic drinking water service, and 3,6 billionhave no access to a basic sanitation service, resulting in avoidable deaths, chronic disease, fewer hours of education and low productivity.

ACCIONA has positioned itself as a key player in the water treatment sector. Its innovative management seeks to resolve the challenges with respect to the shortage of water resources.

 

CLIMATE ACTION

Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts

The generation and use of energy accounts for  35 % 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 emerging needs of humanity and to minimize their negative impact on the environment.

ACCIONA considers the fight against climate change and its effects to be a strategic priority. The company works 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.

The Water Sanitation Entity of the Valencian Community has awarded ACCIONA the construction of the new wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Almoradí (Alicante). The new plant, located in the northeast of the municipality, will serve 41,400 residents of Almoradí. It will integrate the capacity of the current Almoradí WWTP and the small El Saladar WWTP, increasing the water treatment capacity of these two facilities to 6,000m³ per day (1.19m³ per year). In addition, it will have a surface area of 55,000m² and space for future expansions to process up to 12,000m³ per day.

This is the company's first sanitation project in the Vega Baja del Segura area. The works will begin after the summer. The project includes the remodeling and centralization of the municipal network of water collectors and pumping stations. All these infrastructures will be built in such a way as to guarantee the resilience of the facilities in the face of the frequent floods that occur in this region due to the confluence of the floods of the Segura River and its tributaries.

The contract consolidates ACCIONA's commitment to water reuse and irrigation. ACCIONA will install a system to combat odors generated by the treatment plant. In addition, with the aim of increasing its energy efficiency, it will install a photovoltaic plant that will feed the WWTP.
