Wind and solar agreement provides cost savings
while significantly reducing Berry’s operational impact
Berry Global Group, Inc. (NYSE: BERY) today announced a
five-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with multinational
renewable energy leader ACCIONA Energía to power all four of its
facilities in Mexico with wind and solar power. Procuring nearly
100,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of cost-effective, renewable energy
annually, this agreement is projected to avoid around 40,000 metric
tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, or CO2e, annually – equivalent
to taking over 15,000 cars off the road. This not only helps Berry
meet its climate goals, it also helps Berry’s customers advance
their ambitious sustainability goals by providing lower-carbon
solutions.
“We are firmly committed to expanding the number of renewable
energy projects across our business each year to help reduce
greenhouse gas emissions and accelerate progress toward a net-zero
future,” said Rodgers Greenawalt, Executive Vice President of
Operations at Berry Global. “In addition to being the lowest-cost
option, this agreement inherently reduces our operational impacts
and our customers’ supply-chain emissions while minimizing the cost
and price fluctuation associated with fossil fuels.”
Utilizing a breakdown of around 70% wind and 30% solar, Berry’s
San Luis Potosi, Cuautitlán Izcalli, Atlacomulco, and Tlanepantla
sites across Mexico will consume 100% renewable energy thanks to
this deal. San Luis Potosi is the largest site powered through the
agreement, accounting for roughly two-thirds of Berry’s total
energy consumption in the country.
“The PPA with Berry is a further demonstration of ACCIONA
Energia’s commitment to support decarbonization at an industrial
level and the transition towards a sustainable, competitive and
efficient energy system,” said Javier Montes, Director Commercial
at ACCIONA Energía.
This new agreement adds to Berry’s existing Latin American
renewable energy portfolio for a total estimated renewable energy
consumption of over 120,000 MWh. Such investments allow the company
to aggressively increase its renewable energy usage year over year,
advancing Berry’s Science Based Targets initiative-validated
climate goals to reduce absolute Scope 1+2 (operational) emissions
by 25% and Scope 3 (supply chain) emissions by 25% by 2025,
compared to 2019.
