Cemex UK to use 100% renewable electricity in 2019

UK: Cemex says that it will use 100% renewable electricity at supplied sites in a partnership with energy, services and regeneration group Engie. Engie has been providing electricity to over 150 Cemex UK sites for over 10 years, also supplying gas to 33 of these sites. The current contract is to be extended for a further 12 months. All of the electricity supplied to the sites will be from 100% renewable energy sources including wind energy.

“Cement manufacture is inherently energy-intensive and we work hard to minimise energy consumption within the process constraints. The switch to electricity from renewable sources is playing a key role in our carbon reduction strategy,” said Martin Hills, Head of Energy and Carbon at Cemex in the UK.

Cemex is also using Engie’s demand side services, such as load management to avoid peak tariffs and rapid frequency response, which generates extra revenue for Cemex UK. Engie manages all contractual requirements with National Grid on Cemex UK’s behalf.
