Acciona Energy's Renewable Journey
Background & Goal
With about 11 GW of renewable capacity in operation and a target of 20 GW by 2025, ACCIONA Energía brings more than 30 years of experience across the value chain. Ranked among the world’s greenest utilities by Energy Intelligence since 2015, the company set out to provide corporate off-takers with credible proof that contracted power is truly renewable and to tighten reporting across plants and counterparties.
The Challenge
Corporate customers buying power under PPAs asked for clear evidence that the electricity they consume is renewable. Since electrons from the grid are indistinguishable at the meter, ACCIONA needed a way to link production to customer load, document provenance, and share trustworthy data with stakeholders. The team was tasked to:
- Demonstrate renewable origin for each customer under the PPA
- Provide a transparent chain of custody from plants to off-takers
- Reduce manual data gathering and streamline reporting
- Differentiate ACCIONA’s offering with verifiable, shareable evidence
The Solution
Flexidao implemented an energy data and reporting platform that tracks output from five wind and hydropower facilities in Spain and attributes it to four corporate clients in Portugal. The solution centralizes production data, standardizes evidence of origin, and gives customers a simple way to view and share their results.
What the team gets
- Integrated data flows: Regular ingestion of metering and operational data from five sites
- Attributed supply views: Clear mapping from plant production to each corporate customer
- Evidence of origin: Digitized records and documentation customers can reference and export
- Customer portal: Secure access to KPIs, charts, and downloadable reports
- Process control: A repeatable framework ACCIONA can extend to additional assets and clients
Results
ACCIONA Energía now offers a differentiated PPA experience with transparent proof of renewable sourcing and cleaner customer communications. Off-takers gain marketing-ready materials and defensible data for sustainability reporting.
- Commercial differentiation: A verifiable, value-added service for PPA customers
- Customer impact: Stronger trust and improved experience from innovation to rollout
- Reporting efficiency: Less manual effort and clearer narratives for CSR and ESG teams
- Cross-border validation: Five Spanish assets tracked for four Portuguese clients, creating a template for scale
