Global Winds Partners with Acciona Energy

Global Winds is proud to be working on a pipeline of U.S. wind projects with Acciona Energy, one of the world’s key players in the development, construction, operation and maintenance of renewable energy facilities. Although Acciona develops projects and engages in considerable research in areas such as biodiesel, solar, biomass and small hydroelectric, Acciona’s primary focus is wind power, a field in which the company ranks third in the world in terms of installed capacity. Acciona also designs and manufactures its own line of wind turbines and is currently researching ways to produce hydrogen from wind. World-wide, Acciona owns and/or operates approximately 4,000 MW of wind power, of which 86 MW are in the US, and 60 MW in Canada. Acciona also owns and/or operates 60 MW of hydro, 33 MW of bio-mass, 13 MW of photovoltaic, 140 MW of cogen, and a variety of bio-fuels applications.

The Production Tax Credit is extended to the end of 2008
