Ardagh Glass Packaging Set to Deploy Solar in California

Ardagh Glass Packaging-North America (AGP-North America), an operating business of Ardagh Group, is nearing the completion of a renewable electricity solar facility in Madera, California.

The company partnered with CI Renewables for the solar project, and the nearly 13-megawatt DC solar facility that is built and operated by VALTA Energy will be operational by March 2025. 

The solar field will supply electricity to Ardagh Glass Packaging’s glass manufacturing facility in Madera, California, which will account for approximately 20% of the facility’s electricity demand.

“Ardagh’s solar field in Madera exemplifies our commitment to adding renewable electricity in the regions where we operate,” said Alex Winters, Chief Sustainability Officer at Ardagh Glass Packaging, in a statement. “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.”
