[ACCIONA]http://www.acciona-na.com/’s group of North American companies are subsidiaries of ACCIONA S.A., a Spanish company that ranks among the world’s leading sustainability-focused businesses centered around renewable energy, infrastructure and water treatment. We are committed to pioneering and developing a lasting foundation of sustainability in the U.S. and Canada.
ACCIONA is a 100-year-old, multi-billion-dollar global company with more than 35,000 employees. We operate on five continents in 30 countries and have pioneered renewable energy solutions for nearly 20 years. In North America, we are divided into three business divisions that allow for a specific focus: ACCIONA Infrastructures, ACCIONA Agua and ACCIONA Energy.
-ACCIONA Infrastructures, our oldest business division, is engaged in projects in over 30 countries. These projects include building and developing renewable and sustainable roadways, hospitals, structures and housing.
-ACCIONA Agua is the world leader in desalination via reverse osmosis and reuse. Our Tampa Bay plant alone will supply 10 percent of the drinking water needed for that Florida region.
-ACCIONA Energy has been pioneering renewable energy for nearly 20 years and is active in all major renewable-energy solutions—solar, wind, biomass, biofuels and small hydro. All of these solutions led to ACCIONA Energy producing 8 billion KWh of electricity from renewable-energy sources in 2007 alone and thus avoiding 7.7 million tons of CO2 emissions.
North America is a bountiful continent, well known for its natural resources, of which we can count among them abundant wind and sunshine. We are sitting on huge amounts of renewable-energy potential. ACCIONA Energy is leading the charge to tap into our resources and create renewable energy to run our homes, businesses, even transportation—the power that runs our daily lives.
While ACCIONA Energy has focused on wind and solar energy in North America, we have global experience and interest in introducing other modernized renewable-energy technologies into the North American market. Wind energy, solar energy, biomass, hydropower and biofuels are all technologies that ACCIONA has developed worldwide. As leaders and innovators, we keep our eyes on the future with a commitment to invest in new technologies for a cleaner, sustainable future.
Acciona Energy is also the developer, owner and operator of Nevada Solar One,[1][2] the world's first solar thermal plant built in more than 16 years,[3] and the third largest facility of its kind.
