Naturgy operates wind farms across several continents. One of the technology platforms they are currently focusing on to come in control is the Acciona 3000. Usually, these turbine-specific owners' meetings are hosted by O2O WIND, but for Madrid, we have asked our dear members to help us.

A big thank you to Naturgy!
