Austria: Energy utility Verbund has commissioned a 15.4MW solar power plant at Holcim’s Mannersdorf cement plant in Lower Austria. Operational since mid-2025, the 17-hectare solar park features 22,204 modules that produce 19.3GW/yr of electricity, meeting around 15% of the plant’s total energy demand.
Verbund said the project will avoid up to 15,000t/yr of CO₂ emissions. It designed, built and will operate the facility. Holcim said the installation is central to its plan to power the Mannersdorf plant entirely with renewable energy by 2030.
