Ardagh Metal Packaging-Europe (AMP-Europe), an operating business of Ardagh Group, has entered a renewable electricity Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Sunnic Lighthouse GmbH and parent company, ENERPARC AG, in Germany. The PPA will secure a solar energy supply allocation to AMP facilities in Germany along with its sister company Ardagh Glass Packaging (AGP), which makes this the first of its kind to supply renewable energy to both AMP and AGP.

Jan Knievel, Head of Origination at Sunnic Lighthouse GmbH said: “Together with Ardagh and our parent company ENERPARC AG, we have structured this long-term PPA in which we have fixed an annual volume of around 130 gigawatt hours. We will start with the delivery from existing ENERPARC plants throughout Germany.”

David Spratt, CEO AMP-Europe added: “The signing of this agreement shows AMP’s firm commitment to Ardagh’s decarbonisation strategy and achieves a new milestone in the Group’s goal to reduce scope 1 and 2 CO₂ emissions by 42% by 2030, from a 2020 baseline.”
