ACCIONA established its first office in the Middle East in Dubai in 2008, making the city its regional headquarters and a central hub for expanding business across the Gulf and Arab countries. Since then, the company has developed a significant footprint in the UAE and neighboring countries, specializing in sustainable infrastructure and renewable energy projects. ACCIONA’s presence spans key Emirates including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Fujairah, where it manages numerous large-scale construction and engineering works.

Among ACCIONA’s landmark projects in the region are major infrastructure developments such as the extension and modernization of the Dubai Metro’s Red and Green Lines, completed ahead of Expo 2020. The company also built important water treatment facilities, including the Jebel Ali desalination plant in Dubai and the Umm Al Houl desalination plant in Qatar, which rely on cutting-edge reverse osmosis technology to provide sustainable water solutions. ACCIONA’s portfolio further includes several wastewater treatment plants and renewable energy projects like the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park (Phase III), one of the largest photovoltaic plants in the world.

ACCIONA’s expertise in design-build projects extends beyond construction to operation and maintenance, supporting long-term infrastructure sustainability across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The company aligns its activities with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on climate change mitigation and water security challenges facing the Middle East. Through innovation, strategic partnerships, and a commitment to quality, ACCIONA continues to drive the region’s transition towards a low-carbon, resource-efficient future.
