Ardagh Glass Packaging (AGP) - North America and CI Renewables have almost completed their renewable electricity solar facility in California, USA.
The nearly 13-Megawatt DC solar facility will be operational by March of this year.
The solar field will supply electricity to AGP’s glass manufacturing facility in Madera.
This will account for approximately 20% of the facility’s electricity demand.
Alex Winters, Chief Sustainability Officer at AGP, said: “Ardagh’s solar field in Madera exemplifies our commitment to adding renewable electricity in the regions where we operate.
“I want to extend my gratitude to our project partners and especially to our dedicated Madera and Engineering teams for their commitment to completing this project safely.”
The electricity generated from this project is estimated to reduce demand from the local grid equivalent to more than 2,500 averaged-sized American homes.
AGP will host a ribbon cutting ceremony in March to commemorate the solar facility.
The facility was built and operated by Valta Energy.
