Ardagh Glass Packaging's California Facility Adopts Solar
Ardagh Glass Packaging-North America (AGP-North America), an operating business of Ardagh Group, announced the completion of the 13-MWdc solar project that will supply its facility in Madera, California, with clean energy.
The Madera solar field, built, owned and operated by Longroad Energy, will deliver renewable energy to Ardagh's glass manufacturing facility and account for approximately 20% of the facility's electricity demand.
In collaboration with Longroad, partners that made the solar facility a success include First Solar, Valta Energy, McCarthy Building Companies, Nevados, and A-C Electric Company.
"This renewable electricity project in Madera is a testament to Ardagh's commitment to sustainability," said Brian Brandstatter, President and CEO of AGP-North America, in a statement. "Beyond protecting the environment, we are investing in our local community and our customers. By enhancing our sustainability efforts, we are ensuring long-term value, reliability and cost-effective solutions for the brands that rely on us. This initiative underscores our dedication to being a responsible and forward-thinking glass container manufacturer in California."
Ardagh is committed to adding renewable energy in the regions the company operates in to further reduce its carbon footprint. In 2019, Ardagh partnered with KDC Solar on a state-of-the-art solar field at Ardagh's Bridgeton, N.J., glass production facility.
