ACCIONA Energía begins commercial operation of 280 MW wind project in Canada

ACCIONA Energía has started commercial operations at the Forty Mile wind farm. The project has a capacity of 280 MW and is situated in Alberta, Canada. The wind farm features 49 Nordex turbines, each with a capacity of 5.7 MW and a tower height of 108 meters.

The project is expected to contribute over €85 million in property tax revenues over its lifetime. It has created over 200 direct jobs, and will maintain 25 full-time positions for ongoing operations and maintenance. Furthermore, the project will reduce carbon emissions by 6,00,000 metric tonnes per year.

In November 2024, ACCIONA Energía sold its entire stake in, Corporación Acciona Hidráulica S.L., to Endesa for €1 billion. This deal will generate €620 million in capital gains for ACCIONA Energía and is expected to close in the first half of 2025.
