2025 SMP
SUSTAINABILITY MASTER PLAN
Since 2010, ACCIONA's sustainability strategy has been organized around five-year Sustainability Master Plans (SMP). The purpose of the 2025 SMP is to encourage ACCIONA to reimagine infrastructure and make the company a recognized leader in developing core infrastructure assets with additional value for people and the planet, i.e. regenerative infrastructure.
Each of the four pillars of the SMP 2025 has several areas of action and a marked pathway from responsible to resilient activities, including those with a regenerative impact.
People centric
A company’s greatest value is its people. We therefore place our employees at the centre of our strategy, promoting talent, recognising merit and tracing motivational and personalised experienced.

KEY MILESTONES 2021
Mortlake South (Australia)
The Mortlake South wind farm is ACCIONA Energía’s newest wind farm in Australia. The wind farm capacity is 157.5 MW, enough to power 117,000 homes, and prevents the emission of approximately 532,000 tonnes of CO2 per year. The farm, which is also equipped with a battery storage facility of between 4-5 MW, is the company´s fifth in Australia and third in the state of Victoria.
Malgarida II (Chile)
The completion of the Malgarida II PV complex, located in the Atacama desert, Chile, represents a key achievement for ACCIONA Energía. The complete facility (including Malgarida I) is made up of 580,000 PV modules, stretching across 535 hectares. The plant, which began operations in 2021, is expected to generate 645 GWh of clean energy annually, the equivalent of 280,000 Chilean homes. It will also prevent the emission of 512,000 tonnes of CO2 each year.
La Serena Hospital (Chile)
With an investment of US$258 million (€207 million), this will involve the construction and management of one of the largest hospital complexes in the Coquimbo region, in northern Chile. The contract involves the construction and management of one of the largest hospital in the area, and its concession for 15-years. The new hospital will benefit a population of more than 700,000 people.
