Acciona Energy Australia Global Pty Ltd (AEAG), is a subsidiary of Acciona Energy International (AEI) is an organisation which develops, builds, operates and maintains renewable energy assets.
In Australia, Acciona Energy has built and owns three wind farms in Australia, one through a joint venture, and has developed a strong pipeline of future projects for construction. The wind farms built at Waubra in Victoria, Gunning in New South Wales and Cathedral Rocks in South Australia produce 304.5MW of green energy, equivalent to the energy needs of 205,000 households. In April 2017, Acciona began construction of its fourth wind farm at Mount Gellibrand in Victoria. It also built the 20MW Royalla solar farm project near Canberra.

The Construction Procurement Summit took place in Sydney last month, where I had the pleasure of facilitating a panel with some industry movers and shakers around the topic Exploring the macro trends driving new opportunities across construction supply chains.
We all know the sector is experiencing some strong headwinds with intensifying operating environments, increased costs, labour and skill shortages, more compliance and ultimately reporting, resulting in supply chains are getting more complex.
The session dug deeper into these themes, demystifying some of these challenges and how they can be navigated to realise significant opportunities ahead.
On Thursday, 7 April, Felix hosted its second luncheon and roundtable event, discussing the key findings from our recently released whitepaper, Building in the Dark – risk mitigation in 2022.
At the end of November, the team here at Felix celebrated an exciting milestone as we launched our first native integration between Felix and Aconex Document Management System (DMS).
