Cemex said it has already installed one solar farm at its ready-mix concrete plant in Pruszk贸w.

New installs are now ready for cement plants in Che艂m, Rudniki, and Gdynia, as well as concrete plants in Mys艂owice, Warsaw Annopol, Lublin, Szczecin, and Gda艅sk.

The project will be carried out in collaboration with EDP Energia Polska (regional subsidiary of energy provider EDP Group, based in Portugal), under a 15-year agreement where EDP will install and manage the solar installations to Cemex facilities.

Micha艂 W臋glorz, regional energy negotiator at Cemex Poland, said, 鈥淭he 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.鈥�

Solar installs are expected to start operation in the second quarter of this year for the concrete plants. The cement plants will start solar PV (photovoltaics) generation in early 2026.
