CRH, global provider of building materials solutions, has developed a new wind farm to provide renewable electricity to its Medgidia Cement Plant in Romania.
The wind project, which commenced in August 2023, is now fully operational.
Consisting of five turbines, it has a total installed capacity of approximately 30MW and an estimated annual net production of 80GWh.
According to a company statement, the wind farm is the first of its kind in the country to exclusively power a cement plant.
It will meet a significant proportion of the Medgidia Plant’s annual energy requirements, helping to lower the carbon footprint of the products it produces.
CRH is actively investing in clean energy to help it provide lower carbon products and solutions for its customers. By increasing its use of renewable energy sources, CRH is taking an important step toward delivering its target to reduce absolute carbon emissions by 30 % by 2030.
