WIND POWER
ACCIONA is the global leader in the development, construction, operation and maintenance of wind power facilities, with near 30 years of experience in the sector.
The company has commanded the creation of a unique business sector focused on the progress of humanity in equilibrium with its natural environment. ACCIONA is a genuine player in the wind power sector, designing sustainable solutions across the entire value chain, from the evaluation of resources, the development of facilities and financial analysis and construction to the operation and maintenance of wind farms, energy marketing and the management of operations related to carbon emissions trading.
We believe in the power of wind to ensure a more sustainable future. This is why we have installed more than 8.7 GW of our own wind power, which generate approximately 80 % of our renewable production to fight global warming. In addition, we have built about 1.9 additional GW for customers, which underpins our knowledge of the most efficient wind power solutions adapted to the characteristics of each project.
We have also developed proprietary wind turbine technology through ACCIONA Windpower, which in 2016 joined the German company Nordex, in which the ACCIONA group is a reference shareholder.
