Ardagh Glass Packaging and CI Renewables partner on
Californian solar project
Ardagh Glass Packaging-North America and CI Renewables are moving forward with plans of a renewable energy solar project in Madera, California. The 10 MW solar project, built and operated by VALTA Energy, will be completed this year. The solar project will supply electricity to the site that will account for approximately 25% of the facility’s electricity demand.
“We are pleased to see this important solar project for Ardagh move forward,” said Walter Serafyn, Managing Partner of CI Renewables. “This is the second large-scale solar project we have developed for Ardagh, and we look forward to more opportunities with Ardagh in the future.”
“As an environmental leader in the packaging industry, Ardagh continuously pursues opportunities to increase our use of renewable energy,” said Alex Winters, Chief Sustainability Officer at Ardagh Glass Packaging. “Not only does this project advance Ardagh closer to our sustainability targets, but it also stands to aid our wine customers in their sustainability endeavours. By curbing the carbon footprint of bottles sourced from our Madera facility, this initiative aligns with our shared goal of fostering a more environmentally conscious future."
