After beating our construction capacity record in 2019, we started 2020 with all the energy required to achieve even more ambitious targets. We were able to adapt to an unexpected situation -the covid pandemic- and contributed to overcoming the crisis with our best efforts.

We guaranteed the generation of electricity for millions of people, having our Renewable Energy Control Center –CECOER- and O&M teams giving its best managing more than 16,000 MW with a very high availability ratios (+97%) in all of our installations on the five continents.

We completed all planned projects in an adverse environment –with over 1,000 MW under construction-; and we are continuing with others focussed on the aim to surpass the target of 15 GW to be installed by 2024.

As the greenest utility in the world for the sixth year running according to Energy Intelligence’s ranking, ACCIONA is one of the top 10 developers in corporate PPA activity. A sample of it are the two major contracts signed in 2020 with two world-class companies: Amazon and Telefónica, among others.

We continued committed with innovation, putting into service the first grid-connected floating PV plant in Spain (Sierra Brava) and launching the Power2Green Hydrogen project in Mallorca, in partnership with some other companies, to create the first hydrogen ecosystem in a Mediterranean island.

Clean energy for a sustainable energy system

The future of mankind and our bond with the planet depends on the way in which energy is produced: ACCIONA carries out integrated energy use management that covers both supply and demand, with a management model based on two characteristics: sustainability and digitisation.

ACCIONA grows its innovative and technical capacity by developing mature, competitive renewable technologies — such as wind, photovoltaic and biomass power. Over 10,500 MW of propriety capacity installed in 16 countries across 5 continents proof its privileged position as a flagbearer for a different way of doing business—Business as Unusual—which promotes investment in low-carbon activities. A different way of doing business, accelerating universal access to energy in order to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 7—affordable and clean energy—and the adoption of a decarbonised energy model.
