Luxembourg-based Ardagh Group is putting in photo voltaic PV methods at a number of of its packaging manufacturing websites in the UK and Europe. The newest is a 1.75 MW rooftop system put in at a glass packaging facility in Irvine, Scotland.
The corporate teamed with Eire’s ESB Vitality to put in 3,842 panels on two warehouse rooftops with the capability to supply 1,584 MWh yearly and provide 25% of the electrical energy required by Ardagh Glass Packaging Europe (AGP-Europe) facility, with the remainder sourced from a renewable power provider.
“This photo voltaic set up is one other step ahead in enhancing the sustainability of our operations at Irvine, in addition to lowering the quantity of electrical energy we take from the grid. It reveals our dedication to decarbonizing the glass containers we produce, whereas sustaining the very best requirements of high quality and excellence,” the AGP-Europe Irvine plant director Graeme Shepherd stated in an announcement.
Ardagh Group additionally just lately put in photo voltaic on-site for related causes at its amenities in Dongen, Moerdijk and Oss within the Netherlands. Greater than 24,700 photo voltaic panels throughout three places generate about 12,677 MWh every year, in response to the corporate.
The three websites had been developed by Amsterdam-based Zoncoalitie, an impartial photo voltaic venture advisory that was spun out from a PV business affiliation in 2020, and Rotterdam-based energy firm Eneco.
The biggest of the three PV vegetation within the Netherlands is put in at an AGP-Europe glass plant in Dongen with 8,000 MWh annual output. It’s a rooftop plus floor mount set up, the place the bottom mount is the bigger share of the put in capability. The Moerdijk set up is a rooftop plant, producing 2,500 MWh every year, and Oss can also be rooftop at 1,897 MWh every year.
The photo voltaic PV installations are a part of Ardagh Group’s technique to speculate to allow it to make use of 100% renewable electrical energy by 2030 and cut back its carbon footprint.
