Overview
- New solar and wind projects in Greece, Italy, Latvia, Poland and Romania, plus an operational solar array in Spain, will bring about 650 megawatts onto European grids.
- Apple estimates the additions will deliver more than 1,000 gigawatt‑hours per year for users by 2030, contributing roughly one‑third of the 3,000 GWh a year it says it needs in Europe.
- The company says its participation has helped unlock roughly $600 million in project financing through long‑term power purchase agreements, direct support and equity stakes.
- Project specifics include a 110 MW solar plant in Greece, a 129 MW portfolio in Italy, a 40 MW solar array in Poland, a 99 MW wind farm in Romania and a 110 MW solar farm in Latvia, with a focus on higher‑carbon grids to maximize impact.
- Apple also reports more than 90% of its manufacturing in China now runs on renewable power and suppliers have launched a $150 million fund to build additional clean‑energy infrastructure, even as legal challenges over past carbon‑neutral claims continue in Germany and the U.S.
