LafargeHolcim is the leading global building materials and solutions company serving masons, builders, architects, and engineers around the world. In August 2020, LafafgeHolcim’s cement plant based in Paulding, Ohio became the first LafargeHolcim operation in North America to harness wind energy, thanks to their partnership with Findlay, Ohio based wind energy company, One Energy.

This project with LafargeHolcim is part of One Energy’s Wind for Industry® business solution, which involves installing one or more large, utility-scale wind turbines on-site at a large industrial facility. The wind turbines are interconnected to the facility’s side of the meter, so the energy from the turbines goes directly to the facility without passing through the electrical grid. The wind project operates in parallel to the grid, so the industrial facility remains connected to the grid at all times.

These wind turbines at LafargeHolcim are anticipated to generate more than 12 million kWh annually and should eliminate more than 9,000 annual tons of carbon dioxide. To contribute to the community surrounding the Paulding cement plant, the project is creating three $5,000 Megawatt Scholarships (one per turbine) to be awarded each year the turbines are in operation. The scholarships will be given to local high-school graduates pursuing a two- or four-year degree in a STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) subject.
