There are many voices on sustainability—so many, in fact, that it may be difficult to decipher the true issues and solutions that face our continent and the world. ACCIONA offers an equally pragmatic and passionate perspective on renewable energy, sustainable clean water and infrastructure. We aim to educate as well as take action. We are a leading owner and operator of wind farms, a concentrating solar plant and desalination plants in North America, as well as a company using sustainable building practices to develop roads, hospitals and other key public infrastructures.

We welcome press and analysts to get in touch with us to discuss our vision for North America and how we are making a difference today.
