Guatemala: Cemex has secured its electricity supply for its Guatemalan operations until 2027 through the signing of a renewable power purchase agreement with Enel Green Power. Enel Green Power will supply an estimated 164GWh of renewable energy under the agreement, enabling Cemex to operate one of its Guatemalan cement facilities using 100% renewable energy.

“Transitioning to renewable energy sources is an integral part of our climate action strategy,” said Cemex South, Central America and the Caribbean president Jesús González. “We remain committed to becoming a net-zero CO₂ company and are taking decisive steps to achieve this goal.”

Chile: Melón has signed an electricity supply contract with Enel Generación. The contract covers the supply for its La Calera, Puerto Montt and Ventanas cement plants, and its San Bernardo aggregates quarry, until 2043, according to the La Tercera newspaper. All energy supplied under the contract will come from renewable sources. There is also the possibility of expanding the scope of the contract.

General Manager Iván Marinado said, “Our commitment to the sustainability of our operations is permanent. We have state-of-the-art technologies, we work together with our carriers in programmes to reduce logistical impact and energy efficiency, and we have a solid co-processing strategy for the use of alternative fuels (AF) and raw materials. Today we are happy to take a new step and start the use of renewable energies, as a concrete and effective example of our concern to contribute to the environmental improvement of the localities where we operate.”
