The incorporation came into effect on June 20th, and trading began on July 1st. It is regarded as the largest listing on the Spanish stock exchange in recent years, with an initial public offering price of €26.73 per share. Since then, its shares have risen 40% and its market capitalization has reached €12.31 billion. The most noteworthy aspect for financial analysts is ACCIONA Energía’s expansion plan for the coming years: it aims to reach 20 GW of installed capacity by 2025 and exceed 30 GW by 2030, starting with the 11.2 GW deployed at the end of 2021. The ACCIONA-led consortium (WSP, Metro Trains Melbourne and Level Crossing Removal Project) is to upgrade the rail transport system in Melbourne (Victoria, Australia), known as the City Loop and located in its central business district. This is a critical section of the metropolitan rail network, with 12 kilometers and four tunnels. Its construction dates back to the 1970s and the new work is considered essential to upgrade the smoke detection, smoke extraction and sprinkler systems at four stations. The contract is valued at €212 million and work will be completed by the end of 2023.
