Ardagh Glass Packaging-North America (AGP-North America), an operating business of Ardagh Group, and Longroad Energy, are nearing completion of a renewable electricity solar facility in Madera, California, U.S.
The nearly 13-Megawatt DC solar facility, built and operated by VALTA Energy, will be operational by March of this year. The solar field will supply electricity to Ardagh Glass Packaging’s Madera, California glass manufacturing facility, 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. “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 (U.S. Energy Information Administration, 2023).
Ardagh will be hosting a ribbon cutting ceremony in March to commemorate the solar facility.
