ACCIONA Windpower (acciona - acciona-energia )
ACCIONA Windpower, is the ACCIONA's subsidiary company that works on the design, manufacture, field assembly and marketing of wind turbines, based on the experience of the group to which it belongs in the operation and maintenance of wind power facilities worldwide. It produces 1,500 kW and 3,000 kW wind turbines which have been designed from the point of view of the wind farm operator interested in achieving the best performance throughout the working life of the machine.
From 2004 up to 2009 ACCIONA Windpower has supplied 3,211.50 MW (2,139wind turbines). This figure places the company among the main wind turbine manufacturers in the world.
For years after having launched the AW-1500 -one of the most reliable wind turbines in the market of the megawatt segment- in 2004, ACCIONA Windpower introduced the new AW-3000 at Windpower 2008 Exhibition in Houston (Texas, USA). It is based on the same concept of strong, reliable and durable wind turbine as its successful predecessor and extent our capacity to meet the rising market expectations. In September 2008 the AW-3000 was introduced in Europe (PowerExpo, Zaragoza).
Wind turbine assembly plants
ACCIONA Windpower has three wind turbine manufacturing facilities, two in Spain and one in the USA. Their total annual production capacity is 2,025 MW. ACCIONA Windpower also has an assembly plant for hubs and other components in Toledo (Spain) and has opened a blade production plant in Navarre (Spain) in 2009.
Turbines in wind parks in twelve countries
By the end of 2009 ACCIONA Windpower had installed wind turbines in wind parks in twelve countries: Spain, the US, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Australia, China, South Korea, Italy, Greece, France, and the UK.
A good part of these projects have been (or will be) carried out by other companies with which ACCIONA Windpower has signed contracts for the supply of turbines. This modality will increase over the next few years.
Additionally NCWA, a joint venture participated by ACCIONA until end of 2009, has installed 166 wind turbines AW 1.5 in P.R.China, totalling 249.5MW.
Working on design since 1997
The technology developed by ACCIONA Windpower is the result of more than fourteen years of knowledge accumulated by one of the most technical teams in the world on the operation and maintenance of wind parks.
The ACCIONA Group's experience and acumen gained from the management of wind parks containing thousands of wind turbines of different technologies installed in various countries has been the cornerstone to the succesful development of our technology.
