Company news
A.M.A. Plastics Ltd. and A.M.A. Properties recently signed agreements with Solar Power Network to lease approximately 75,000 square feet of A.M.A. roof space for solar power generation. This installation should generate an estimated 750 kW of electricity, more than A.M.A.’s current electricity usage. For A.M.A., it means moving to green energy with no capital outlay and a revenue stream for the next 20 years from an underused asset, its roof space. Any excess electricity gets passed through to the grid.
