Peru's Cemento Yura Solar Plant Saves $2.7 Million in First Year of Operation

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Cemento Yura (a member of Grupo Gloria's building materials division) invested $23.5 million in a photovoltaic power plant, which has yielded clear returns after one year of operation. The company reported that the plant saved $2.7 million in cash costs between February 2025 and April 2026.

In terms of operations, the photovoltaic plant has generated 67,498 MWh of electricity, providing the company with a stable and cost-competitive energy supply, reducing exposure to market price fluctuations and supply disruption risks. This initiative has optimized the company's cost structure and enhanced its energy autonomy.

In terms of environmental benefits, the plant avoided 12,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions from February 2025 to March 2026, equivalent to the amount absorbed by 200,000 trees over 10 years of growth. This achievement solidifies Cemento Yura's position in sustainable development and supports its progress toward 2030 targets and the 2050 net-zero roadmap.

Pia Zevallos, Sustainability Manager of Grupo Gloria's building materials division, stated: "This investment demonstrates that sustainability and profitability are compatible and mutually reinforcing. While improving operational efficiency and energy resilience, the company strengthens its ESG profile and advances toward net-zero goals. This is a strategic decision that creates tangible value for shareholders, customers, and communities, proving that the future of industry is both green and profitable."

The photovoltaic plant project has become a business case demonstrating that a well-executed sustainability strategy positively impacts the planet while directly driving operational efficiency, financial savings, and long-term corporate value.
