Cemex has opened tendering process for its new photovoltaic solar plant at San Pedro de Macorís in the Dominican Republic.

The cement producer is looking for a company that can build and operate its new 13MW solar power plant and sell the output to Cemex.

In 2014 Cemex opened its first solar farm with a capacity of 1.5MW. This was followed by an electricity supply agreement to provide its San Pedro de Macorís cement plant with wind power.
