Acciona Energy is close to pulling the investment trigger on a 145MW wind project in the US, and beyond that hopes to build one or two additional renewables projects here by 2020, the company’s new North America chief executive, Rafael Esteban, tells Recharge.

Chicago-based Acciona Energy USA, part of Spanish infrastructure group Acciona, recently acquired a “quite advanced-stage” wind project in the US, Esteban reveals.
