US EditionApple announces major expansion of renewables investment across Europe
Apple's projects will add 650 megawatts of renewable capacity and generate over 1 million megawatt-hours of clean electricity annually by 2030, aiding its carbon neutrality goal.
- Apple announced an expansion across five European countries including Greece, Italy, Latvia, Poland, and Romania, adding 650 megawatts of renewable energy and donating to Tsinghua University, the company said.
- Building on its 100% carbon neutral-by-2030 target, Apple said `This will generate over 1 million megawatt-hours of clean electricity on behalf of Apple users by 2030.`
- Earlier this year, a new 131MW solar array became operational in Segovia, Spain, and Apple enabled Econergy’s 40MW project in Poland due later this year.
- Impact-first: The expansion should unlock financing of more than $600 million, and projects are expected to add around 3,000 gigawatt-hours of renewable energy to the grid each year by 2030.
- Environmental groups have expressed concern about data centres' high energy use, and Apple withdrew a planned 850m data centre in Athenry after legal challenges.
