Comprehensive | Acciona provides extensive and precise information about its climate-policy lobbying. It names multiple identifiable measures it has engaged on, including the “Plan Nacional Integrado de Energía y Clima (PNIEC),” Spain’s “Climate Change and Energy Transition Act,” the European Commission’s “Fit for 55” and “REPowerEU” packages, consultations on the EU Green Deal, the “Agenda Urbana Española,” the “Estrategia de Movilidad Segura, Sostenible y Conectada a 2030,” and sector-specific frameworks such as a national hydrogen road map and proposals for environmental taxation to favour renewable electricity. The company is equally clear about how and where it seeks to influence these policies: it is registered in the EU Transparency Register, “continued to participate in public consultations and in the dialogue and exchange of ideas with EU institutions,” endorses collective open letters such as the Corporate Leaders Group appeal to “EU decision-makers,” and holds “active participation and positions of responsibility” within associations like WindEurope, AEE and CLG Europe. Finally, Acciona is explicit about the outcomes it seeks, calling for a “stable regulatory framework to promote renewable technologies,” the “design of an appropriate system of auctions to grant incentives to renewable energies,” “environmental taxation to favour renewable electricity consumption,” support for “sustainable mobility based on electric vehicles powered by renewable energies,” and backing a “greenhouse-gas reduction target of at least 55 % by 2030.” This level of detail across the policies addressed, the channels used, and the concrete legislative changes or targets pursued demonstrates a comprehensive degree of transparency in the company’s climate-related lobbying disclosures. | 4 |
