Apple Signs 650 MW of European Clean‑Energy Deals to Support 2030 Device‑Power Goal

The move advances Apple’s 2030 pledge to match customers’ device electricity with clean power.

Overview

  • New solar and wind projects in Greece, Italy, Latvia, Poland and Romania, plus an operational 131 MW solar array in Spain, bring Apple’s contracted European capacity to 650 MW.
  • Apple says the projects will generate over 1 million megawatt‑hours for users by 2030 and supply roughly one third of the 3,000 GWh per year it estimates Europe will need to match device charging.
  • The company reports the deals have unlocked more than $600 million in financing through long‑term power purchase agreements and developer support.
  • Country details include 110 MW solar in Greece, a 129 MW portfolio in Italy, a 110 MW solar PPA in Latvia, a 40 MW solar array in Poland and a 99 MW wind farm in Romania.
  • Parallel efforts in China include over 90% of manufacturing powered by renewables and a new $150 million supplier‑led fund, as legal scrutiny of environmental claims continues after a German court ruling and related U.S. litigation.
