The future of humanity depends on a reliable, affordable, and decarbonised energy system. ACCIONA Energía is the largest 100% clean energy company in the world, and continues to pioneer the development of new renewable technologies.
Energy
A CLEANER FUTURE
With a presence in 16 countries on five continents, ACCIONA Energía is 100% renewable and has no ties with fossil technologies, which means it has no transition risks related to asset depletion or rising carbon prices. The company is uniquely positioned to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the transition to a clean energy system.
Our long-term ambition
The growth plan through 2025 focuses on clean energy projects that are eligible for financing rounds resulting from the economic recovery, in addition to advancing the green hydrogen expansion plan and entering the offshore wind market.
By 2025, ACCIONA Energy will have evolved even further from its position as a clearly differentiated, independent and unique business, and will continue to be an ESG sector leader, with an increased presence in the main clean energy and sustainability indices.
The company’s 2025 target is to increase its own capacity to a total of 20 GW. That means adding 9.3 GW between 2021-2025, doubling the current capacity of 11.2 GW.
technological solutions
ACCIONA Energía has more than 30 years of experience 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, and energy management.
Managing close to 8.8 GW, ACCIONA Energía is one of the largest global operator of installed onshore wind power.
2021 HIGHLIGHTS
- SSE RENEWABLES PARTNERSHIP
The company developed its own wind turbine technology through ACCIONA Windpower, that merged with Nordex in 2016, and in 2021, partnered with SSE Renewables in a Memorandum of Understanding to stablish a joint venture to develop ofshore wind energy projects in Spain, Portugal and Poland. - INCREASE IN WIND POWER
The company has installed close to 8,800 MW of its own wind power, which generate approximately 80 % of its renewable production. In addition, ACCIONA Energía has built about 1,900 additional MW for customers.

INSTALLED CAPACITY (MW)
ACCIONA Energía creates electric biomass solutions, including the design, construction and operation of major biomass plants. Its three biomass plants generate 400 GWh per year, equivalent to the electricity consumption of 118,000 homes, and prevent the emission of around 384,000 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere from coal-fired plants.
INSTALLED CAPACITY (MW)
Storage technologies have become one of the key facilitators in flexibility, as they allow to store excess of energy, minimize restrictions, and inject this same energy into the grid when needed.
In 2021, ACCIONA Energía connected the first renewable storage plant with recycled batteries in Spain
ACCIONA Energía pushes for advanced innovative technologies, such as green hydrogen which is expected to expand the reach of clean energies in industrial and mobility sectors such as the manufacture of steel, chemical products and heavy transportation, which currently generate emissions that are difcult to eliminate

SALE OF 100% CLEAN ENERGY
ACCIONA Energía sells 100% clean energy through a diversification of sales mechanisms, such as public PPAs, feed-in tariffs, wholesale market and directly to business that want to decarbonise. It also offers renewable energy attributes to corporate buyers in the form of certificates.
In 2021, the company was once again designated as the largest independent 100% renewable supplier in Spain, according to data made public by the Spanish National Commission for Markets and Competition. ACCIONA Energía is also among the top-10 operators with the most signed corporate PPAs, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance.
ACCIONA Energía was one of the top 10 utilities globally to sign the most long-term corporate PPAs in 2021
SELF-CONSUMPTION
ACCIONA Energía offers self-consumption solutions through renewable energy plants customized for each client, both connected and isolated from the grid, close to the point of consumption.
Based on the client's consumption profile and characteristics the company develops behind the meter ad-hoc solutions.
In 2021, the Company commissioned a microgrid for Schneider Electric in Puente la Reina (Spain) that includes 852 kWp of photovoltaic energy, five charging points for electric vehicles and 80 kWh of battery storage.
Energy services
Fighting the climate emergency depends on effective energy management, reducing consumption and optimizing the conditions and processes of renewable energy facilities.
ACCIONA Energía offers integrated energy use management that is both sustainable and digitized, covering demand and supply. We incorporate a mix of technologies which allows us to manage demand in real time, guaranteeing customers' energy and financial savings as well as a reduction in CO2 emissions.
In 2021, ACCIONA Energía was awarded the largest energy services contract in Gijón, Spain, and entered the French market at the beginning of 2022 after the acquisition of the energy efficiency company Eqinov.
Charging of electric vehicles
ACCIONA Energía recently entered the EV charging market through the acquisition of the leading independent company in the installation and management of intercity chargers in Spain, Cargacoches. The company manages nearly 400 third-party chargers, 50 own charging points, and more than 10,000 registered users. ACCIONA Energía has established a target to reach a public network of 25,000 charging points by 2030.
