The wind farm will be located next to the factory and enable Cementeria Costantinopoli to supply energy on-site, covering approximately one-third of its electricity needs with secure, affordable and sustainable power.

The contract includes the supply and installation of three V117-3.45 MW turbines and it includes a 10-year Active Output Management 4000 (AOM 4000) service agreement.

“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 factory with clean wind energy, setting a precedent for industrial decarbonisation in the region” said Francesco Amati, General Manager, Vestas Italy. “We are proud to deliver the technology solution that will reduce the plant’s environmental footprint and reliance on external power.”

Turbine delivery and commissioning are expected in fourth quarter of 2026. The order also reinforces Vestas’ leadership in the country’s wind energy sector, where it has installed over 6 GW since 1991.
