| Acciona’s Chairman & CEO at Windpower 2009 in Chicago José Manuel Entrecanales, Chairman of Acciona, one of the biggest Spanish corporations with activities in more than thirty countries in the fields of infrastructures, renewable energies, hydro power, urban and environmental services, logistics and transport, housing development and hospital management, demonstrated the company's commitment to the American wind industry by visiting its annual gathering, AWEA's Windpower 2009 Conference and Exhibition, in Chicago. This year's conference was the largest ever, jumping 40% from 2008 to 22,000 attendees and 1,200 companies exhibiting. "It is a critical time in the development of wind energy in the US", said Mr. Entrecanales. "While the country now leads the world in wind power with a total installed capacity of 25,170 MW, there is more work to do to support the strides the Obama administration has made and its goal of doubling renewable energy production in three years. Acciona is committed to providing that support and developing more wind projects in the US". write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
