MONTERREY, MEXICO, November 23, 2009 – CEMEX,
S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: CX), announced today that the installation of the 167 wind
turbines of the EURUS wind farm was completed on November 15 in Juchitan,
Oaxaca, Mexico.
CEMEX
has been the promoter of this project developed by the joint venture between
CEMEX and ACCIONA. Part of the energy generated by EURUS will supply
approximately 25% of CEMEX's energy needs in its Mexican cement plants. ACCIONA
financed, constructed and manages the wind farm.
The
installation of wind turbines in the park was initiated in July of 2008 and the
wind turbines were connected to the electrical grid in February,
2009. After the conclusion of the assembly of the wind turbines, the
wind farm will be operative in the coming weeks.
The
wind farm represents a major contribution towards the global effort that CEMEX
is making to reduce its emissions footprint and to become more
sustainable.
Luis
Farías, Vice-president of Energy and Climate Change at CEMEX said: “The
completion of the installation of the EURUS wind turbines indicates that Mexico
has the conditions for private investments in electric power generation
projects.”
“Thanks
to a transparent regulatory framework made by the Mexican energy authorities and
the Mexican State power generation companies it was possible to develop the
infrastructure and create the conditions necessary to develop the largest wind
power generation project in Latin America.” He added.
EURUS
is located in Juchitan, in the Southern Mexican State of Oaxaca in a 2,500
hectare area in the Tehuantepec Isthmus, an area well-known for its wind
resources.
The
energy that will be produced by EURUS is estimated to be sufficient to power a
Mexican city
of half
a million inhabitants, reducing CO2 emissions by approximately 600 thousand
metric tons each year, which is approximately 25% of the total emissions
generated by such a community.
EURUS
will be one of the largest wind farms in the world and the second largest in
terms of emissions reduction registered under the Clean Development Mechanism of
the United Nations (Kyoto Protocol). It will also have one of the largest
emission reduction indexes per installed capacity in the world.
The
project created more than 850 direct jobs in the area during the phase of
construction and is generating an economic impact of more than 20 million pesos
per year in the region.
CEMEX
is a global building materials company that provides high-quality products and
reliable service to customers and communities in more than 50 countries
throughout the world. CEMEX
has a
rich history of improving the well-being of those it serves through its efforts
to pursue innovative industry solutions and efficiency advancements and to
promote a sustainable future. For more information, visit
