Cemex has signed an agreement with EDP Energia Poland to build solar installations at several of its plants in Poland, with a total capacity of over 14 MWp. This investment is part of Cemex’s global Future in Action strategy to combat climate change.
Currently, Cemex has one solar farm at its ready-mix concrete plant in Pruszków. New solar installations will be added to the Chełm, Rudniki, and Gdynia cement plants and the concrete plants in Mysłowice, Warsaw Annopol, Lublin, Szczecin, and Gdańsk. These installations will start operating for the concrete plants in the second quarter of 2025. For the cement plants, the schedule assumes that PV generation will begin in the first quarter of 2026.
The project will be carried out in collaboration with EDP Energia Polska under a 15-year agreement. EDP will install and manage the solar installations, providing clean energy to Cemex facilities.
“Cemex sets ambitious decarbonisation goals, and investing in renewable energy is an important step towards reducing emissions. The concluded agreement is important in this context because it will guarantee us access to green energy in the long term. Additionally, the mentioned contract will enable the diversification of energy sources powering our plants,” said Michał Węglorz, Regional Energy Negotiator at Cemex Poland.
“We are glad that Cemex Poland, as a leader in its industry, has chosen photovoltaic solutions from EDP to implement its ambitious decarbonisation goals. This cooperation is part of our mission to support the energy transition and provide clean energy for every type of industry. We are convinced that Cemex’s investments in renewable energy will contribute to building a sustainable future and will become an inspiration for other companies from the energy-intensive sector. At EDP, we make every effort to be a reliable partner for our clients and, together with them, implement projects that have a real impact on reducing emissions and protecting the climate. In Poland, we have installed nearly 270 MWp of power in various facilities, thus supporting businesses in building a sustainable future,” said Ireneusz Kulka, Country Lead of EDP in Poland.
