Berry announces 5-year PPA with ACCIONA Energia to ‘power’ Mexico operations

Berry Global Group announced a five-year power purchase agreement, PPA, with multinational renewable energy leader ACCIONA Energia 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.”
