ACCIONA is a global conglomerate based in Madrid, Spain, that develops and manages sustainable infrastructure solutions, renewable energy projects, and large-scale water treatment facilities. The publicly traded company generates revenue through public and private infrastructure construction contracts, long-term operation concessions, and the generation and sale of clean electricity. Operating across more than 50 countries, the enterprise employs 66,021 people, produces 21 terawatt-hours of renewable electricity annually, and reported €20.76 billion in total revenue for 2024. The firm operates major subsidiaries and infrastructure projects worldwide, including its publicly listed IBEX 35 division Corporación Acciona Energías Renovables, wind turbine manufacturer Nordex, and the MacIntyre Wind Precinct in Australia. ACCIONA was founded in 1997 through the corporate merger of Entrecanales y Távora and Cubiertas y MZOV under the leadership of José María Entrecanales de Azcárate and Juan Entrecanales de Azcárate.

ACCIONA is a global leader in sustainable infrastructure, water management, services, and renewable energies, emphasizing sustainability as its core strategic guideline and focusing on energy transition toward a zero-emissions world.[1][2][3] Operating across four main business groups—Energy (via ACCIONA Energía, a major owner/operator of renewable assets), Infrastructure (design, construction, and operation of water, transport, and social projects), Wind Turbine Manufacturing (through Nordex, top 2 outside China and EMEA leader), and Other Activities (property development, electric mobility, facility services)—the company generates 77% of revenues internationally with ~66,000 employees in over 40 countries and a robust balance sheet (2.90x Net debt/EBITDA).[1][2][3] It excels in areas like reverse osmosis desalination, corporate PPAs, and large civil construction, supported by a €53.8 billion backlog and significant growth from global decarbonization megatrends.[1][5]
Founded over 25 years ago with a commitment to sustainable solutions, ACCIONA has evolved into a multi-faceted group prioritizing greenfield development and operations in renewables and infrastructure.[1][2] Key milestones include ACCIONA Energía's 30 years of experience as a pioneer in 100% renewable assets, reaching 15.4 GW installed capacity across 24 countries by FY2024, and the integration of Nordex as an independent listed entity enhancing its wind manufacturing prowess.[2][3][6] The company's expansion reflects pivotal shifts toward energy transition, with ACCIONA Energía listing independently and strategic stakes like 47.1% in its infrastructure arm (c.€3.6bn market cap), building on early traction in desalination, PPP concessions, and global project development.[1][5]
ACCIONA rides the global energy transition wave, capitalizing on megatrends like decarbonization, supported by policies such as the US Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act ($1.2tn), IRA ($370bn), and AI infrastructure ($500bn).[1] Its timing aligns with surging demand for renewables (15.4 GW capacity, +1.2 GW net growth), wind tech (Nordex's EMEA leadership), and sustainable infra, amid climate change pressures and zero-emissions goals.[2][6] Market forces like rising corporate PPAs and electrification favor its B2B/B2C expansion, while influencing the ecosystem through pioneering asset management, supply chain scale, and long-life concessions generating ~€53bn in future dividends.[3][5]
ACCIONA's H1 2025 showed strong momentum with EBITDA up 116.9% to €908m (driven by €443m asset rotation), revenues +10.2% to €1.47bn, and net profit €455m, on track for FY targets including Energía's €1.5-1.75bn EBITDA despite minor production adjustments.[5][6][8] Next steps include 2GW+ capacity additions, deleveraging via rotations, and growth in battery storage, green H2, floating offshore wind, and EV charging, fueled by a €725m+ concessions portfolio.[4][5][6] Trends like AI-driven energy needs and policy tailwinds will amplify its role, potentially evolving influence through tech-integrated sustainability, tying back to its foundational promise of leading the zero-emissions economy.[1][3]
