Introduction:

Ardagh Glass Packaging-North America (AGP-North America), an operating business of Ardagh Group, and CI Renewables are moving forward with plans of a renewable energy solar project in Madera, California.

Features:

The 10-Megawatt solar project, built and operated by VALTA Energy, will be completed this year. The solar project will supply electricity to Ardagh Glass Packaging’s Madera, California glass manufacturing facility, which will account for approximately 25% of the facility’s electricity demand.

The electricity generated from this project is estimated to reduce demand from the local grid equivalent to more than 1,500 averaged-sized American homes (U.S. Energy Information Administration, 2023).

Ardagh’s Madera, California facility has a long history of responsibly managing its natural resources usage. In 2022, the facility received its ninth consecutive ENERGY STAR® plant certification. Ardagh’s Madera, California, facility manufactures glass containers for the U.S. wine market, supplying wineries across the U.S.
