ACCIONA is the largest global energy operator working exclusively in the field of renewable energies
The company owns and operates more than 10 GW of energy - in the form of onshore wind, photovoltaic, biomass, hydroelectric and solar thermal - in 16 countries on 5 continents, through which it produces about 23,000 GWh and supplies the equivalent demand for approximately 7 million households in 2019.
ACCIONA was a pioneer and played a key part in the early stages and development of the renewable sector worldwide. After 30 years of experience and without having worked with fossil fuels, it tops the Energy Intelligence Top 100 Green Utilities global ranking for the 5th consecutive year as the world's largest 100 % renewable energy company.
It has a one-of-a-kind profile in the sector, adopting a long-term approach and covering all the activities that comprise the energy value chain (from development, engineering and construction, operation and maintenance of energy infrastructures, up to energy management and sale), helping to build a fully sustainable energy system based on renewable energies.
ACCIONA invests and operates in a responsible manner, guaranteeing stability, permanence and the creation of long-term socio-economic and environmental value in the regions in which it operates. On the one hand, through the positive impact generated by its own activity. It also develops social initiatives associated with its projects, in which more than 227,700 people have benefited in 2019 through more than 200 initiatives.
On the other hand, achieving extremely low employee and sub-contractor accident rates at a key moment when the company is fully engaged in the largest constructive cycle of renewable facilities in its history.
ACCIONA's social commitment extends to rural areas which find it hard to access
conventional electrical infrastructure. It does so using a sustainable distributed generation and home system business model through which it provides access to electricity to all types of demand for electricity across the globe.
The company also works day by day on new state-of-the-art energy solutions to advance towards the decarbonisation of the system. Accordingly, innovation is a key part of its business activity, with lines of technological improvement to enhance facilities' performances and life cycles, new solutions such as hybridisation and storage, and progress in future technologies such as green hydrogen. In fact, ACCIONA increased its documented spending on innovation to €75.4 million in 2019 to work on energy solutions for a more sustainable future.
ACCIONA takes a proactive role in decarbonisation of the economy, with steady, diversified and profitable growth in clients and installed capacity, through more than 1.1 GW of renewable facilities under construction and approved in 2020.
