Vestas has received a 10-MW order for a wind project from Cementeria Costantinopoli Srl, a leading manufacturer of construction materials, to deliver renewable energy directly to its cement factory in the Basilicata region in Italy.
The wind farm will be located next to the factory and enable Cementeria Costantinopoli to supply energy on-site, covering around 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 decarbonization 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.”
“For Cementeria, the activation of the first wind farm for self-consumption in Italy, realized with Vestas technology, is not only an energy milestone, but also a tangible demonstration of our deep commitment to environmental sustainability,” said Rabasco Roberto, chief sustainability officer of Cementeria Constantinopoli Srl. “This strategic investment strengthens our leadership in the decarbonization of the sector and underscores our commitment to building a productive future with reduced impact.”
Turbine delivery and commissioning are expected in the fourth quarter of 2026. The order has installed more than 6 GW in Italy since 1991.
