Amcor Rigid Packaging Colombia Operations Now Powered with Solar Energy
- 23 May 2023 11:18 pm AEST
Ann Arbor, Mich., May 23, 2023 – Amcor Rigid Packaging´s (ARP) Cali plant in Colombia is now powered by renewable solar energy. The solar energy is supplied to Amcor exclusively from Celsia, a new solar plant comprised of more than 16,000 solar panels generating nearly nine million watts of electricity. Incorporating solar power means the Cali Colombia plant is fully powered by renewable energy – a blend of solar and hydroelectric power.
- All ARP Colombia operations now 100% powered by renewable energy.
- The transition will reduce total emissions of 7,388 tons of carbon dioxide per year.
- A new solar plant started operations in 2023 exclusively to enable Amcor’s plant in Cali, Colombia.
- Renewable energy adoption aligns and supports Amcor´s Global 2050 Net Zero Emissions goals.
Adding solar power will reduce the plant’s conventional electric energy consumption by 20%. The remaining 80% of energy used to fuel the plant is provided by renewable hydroelectric energy, also certified by Celsia. In addition, the transition between solar and hydroelectric energy will reduce total emission of 7,388 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year.
“This is a major milestone for Amcor, as its Cali plant is the first of its kind to be powered by a nearby, large-scale solar plant built and operated by Celsia, exclusively for Amcor,” said ARP Centro America, Caribbean, and Colombia General Manager Alexander Álvarez.
As a result of this move, all of ARP’s Colombia operations are now powered by renewable energy. This shift to 100% renewable energy supports Amcor´s global 2050 net-zero emissions goals. “By embracing this renewable energy solution, Amcor’s Cali plant is reducing its reliance on the local electrical grid, decreasing its carbon footprint, and bringing us one step closer to achieving Colombia’s net zero emissions goal,” added Alvarez
