José Manuel Entrecanales (Spain)
José Manuel Entrecanales

GREEN RANKING FOR 2009
Ranking: 20
Worth: £2.3bn
Green investment: Renewable energy

The Acciona Group built the first wind farm in Spain at Tarifa in 1994 and became a serious investor in renewable energy. Three years ago construction accounted for 80% of the firm’s business; now it makes up only 40%. The rest comes from electricity, renewable energy and water-desalination. That is the work of José Manuel Entrecanales, who joined the Acciona board as finance director in 1992 and became chairman in 2004. The family owns around half the £4.85 billion company. Its stake is worth £2.3 billion.
