Istanbul-listed cement maker Cimsa to build Ireland’s largest rooftop solar plant at Mannok facility
Turkey-based cement maker Cimsa (CIMSA), a unit of Sabanci Holding (SAHOL), is set to deliver the Republic of Ireland’s largest rooftop solar installation at its Mannok facility, Cimsa said on July 29.
The company has already commenced construction of the 6-MW project, which will cover approximately 38,800 square metres (m2) equivalent to around 5.5 football pitches and will comprise approximately 10,000 solar panels.
Once completed, the project will increase the company’s total installed solar capacity across all of its operations to more than 30-MW. Cimsa has built a combined solar capacity of 24.7-MW across its Afyon (Turkey), Bunol (Spain) and Eskisehir (Turkey) facilities over the past three and a half years.
Together with its waste heat recovery power generation facilities currently operating in Mersin and Eskisehir, the company’s total installed renewable energy generation capacity will exceed 41-MW.
Cimsa, launched in 1972, operates three cement factories in Turkey while it has a white cement plant in Bunol, Spain and a grinding facility in the US.
In 2024, the company completed the acquisition of a 95% stake in Ireland-based peer Mannok Holdings DAC from US-based Brigade Capital Management.
