Italy: Cementeria Costantinopoli has placed an order with Vestas for a 10MW wind project to supply renewable energy directly to its cement plant in Basilicata. The on-site wind farm will cover around one third of the plant’s electricity needs. The project includes three V117-3.45MW turbines and a 10-year Active Output Management 4000 service agreement. Turbine delivery and commissioning are scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026.
Vestas Italy general manager Francesco Amati said “This project marks a milestone for Vestas in Italy as it is the first of its kind in the country to exclusively power an energy-intensive cement plant with clean wind energy. We are proud to deliver the technology solution that will reduce the plant’s environmental footprint and reliance on external power.”
