    Lafarge Cement Jordan receives a license to generate (15 MW) of solar

    energy

    The first solar project in LafargeHolcim group

    Lafarge Cement Jordan receives a license to generate (15 MW) of solar energy

    Amman, September 27, 2018 - Lafarge Cement Jordan, a member of the


    LafargeHolcim group, has obtained a license to generate (15.64) megawatts of
    solar energy from the Energy & Minerals Regulatory Commission (EMRC) in
    accordance under an agreement signed between the two parties.

    According to the license signed by the CEO of the Energy & Minerals
    Regulatory Commission (EMRC); Eng.Farouk Hayari and the CEO of Lafarge
    Jordan Amr Reda, the license duration is 20 years, in order to generate
    electricity for Lafarge Rashadeya Cement plant in Tafila.

    The license comes after Lafarge Cement Jordan signed an agreement with the
    National Electric Power Company (NEPCO) in August 2018 as the first
    agreement in this regard.

    And with this license, Lafarge Cement Jordan has started the first solar project
    in LafargeHolcim Group in the Middle East. It is also the leading company in
    construction of a power plant for a cement plant in Jordan. The solar
    photovoltaic plant will be installed on (320,000) meters2 within its own lands.

    The company said in a press release issued today, that this project will be
    implemented on the Building, ownership and operation system (BOO), as its
    financing will be through borrowing commercial banks, not through
    development banks as the case with other renewable energy projects in Jordan.

    CEO Amr Reda said that the project's importance will be in the positive role
    that the cement industry plays in the use of renewable energy and the reduction
    of (CO2) emissions. This project comes with the LafargeHolcim Sustainable
    Development Strategy which focuses on the need to improve the consumption
    of environmental resources and preserve nature in all its operations around the
    world.

    Mr.Reda declared that the company is now preparing to generate electricity


    from wind energy to create significant financial and economic impact through
    the savings that these projects will contribute as one of the strategic projects to
    sustain the company's business.

    And Reda expressed his thanks for the government support represented by the
    Ministry of Energy and Mineral resources (MEMR), Ministry of Environment,
    Energy & Minerals Regulatory Commission (EMRC) and the National Electric
    Power Company (NEPCO). Lafarge Cement Jordan has signed an agreement
    with Adenium Energy Capital in the end of 2016 to establish this project.

    Lafarge Cement Jordan is committed to implementing the principles of


    sustainable development through its work. This commitment stems from its full
    belief in the importance of its role to support the local communities
    surrounding its factories and to play an active role in its progress and
    development through the implementation of local income-generating projects
    and creating job opportunities for the people surrounding area
