Bede Noonan, ACCIONA’s CEO Australia & New Zealand reinforced how proud we are to be playing our part in WA’s clean energy transition.
ACCIONA has delivered multiple complex and sustainable infrastructure projects to enhance the lives of West Australians, and we are delighted we are continuing to do so with a project that will safely and reliably transfer more clean energy generated from wind and solar farms to homes and businesses,” Mr Noonan said.
ACCIONA is a unique end to end business that spans the entire value chain from finance, design and construction through to operation and maintenance. We combine local expertise with global experience to build, own and operate highly effective solutions like Australia’s first renewable energy zone – Central West Orana, and the Humelink East Transmission Project. We are committed to continuing to play a significant role in the energy transition across Australia and are excited to be collaborating with Western Power on this critical project to help secure WA’s future energy supply.
