Apple announced a significant expansion of its clean energy projects across Europe, with new large-scale solar and wind farms now in development in Greece, Italy, Latvia, Poland, and Romania. Together with a newly operational solar array in Spain, these projects will add 650 megawatts of renewable energy capacity to electrical grids across Europe in the coming years, unlocking more than USD 600 million in financing.

The projects will generate over 1 million megawatt-hours of clean electricity for Apple users by 2030. This expansion represents a major component of Apple's 2030 goal to be carbon-neutral across its entire footprint by the end of this decade.

Apple 2030 Carbon Neutrality Strategy

Apple is enabling renewable projects to address the electricity European customers use to power and charge their Apple devices. By 2030, Apple plans to match 100 percent of global customer electricity use with clean electricity by bringing new wind and solar power online around the world. The growing portfolio in Europe marks a significant step toward that goal.

“By 2030, we want our users to know that all the energy it takes to charge their iPhone or power their Mac is matched with clean electricity,” said Lisa Jackson, Apple's vice president of Environment, Policy, and Social Initiatives. “Our new projects in Europe will help us achieve our ambitious Apple 2030 goal, while contributing to healthy communities, thriving economies, and secure energy sources across the continent.”

The energy used to charge and power Apple devices accounted for about 29 percent of Apple's overall greenhouse gas emissions in 2024. To address these emissions, Apple supports renewable energy projects that maximize impact on grids around the world, aiming to avoid the carbon that's emitted by charging and powering Apple devices.

Country-Specific Project Details

Across Europe, Apple is facilitating the construction of large-scale projects that will add around 3,000 gigawatt-hours of renewable energy to the grid each year by 2030. In Greece, the company has signed a long-term agreement to procure power from a 110MW solar project owned and operated by HELLENiQ ENERGY. The project is now fully operational and will support Greece's transition to renewable energy.

In Italy, Apple is supporting the development of a 129MW portfolio of solar and wind projects. The first project, a solar project in Sicily, will come online this month. In Poland, described as home to one of the most carbon-intensive grids on the continent, Apple has enabled Econergy's 40MW solar array, which will be operational later this year. Apple also plans to procure power from Nala Renewables' 99MW wind farm in Romania's Galați County through a long-term agreement originated by OX2, which is now constructing the project.

In Latvia, Apple has signed one of the country's first corporate power purchase agreements with European Energy. Through the long-term deal, Apple will procure electricity from one of Latvia's largest solar farms to date, which will add 110 MW of clean power capacity to the grid once complete.

Operational and Recently Completed Projects

Apple also enabled the development of a 131MW solar farm developed by ib vogt in Segovia, Spain. The project became operational earlier this year. Apple's renewable energy projects include the newly operational Castaño solar array in Spain.

Global Renewable Energy Commitment

The company's strategy to address product use emissions considers where Apple products are used, aims to protect communities and biodiversity, and prioritizes projects in grids with higher carbon intensity. As Apple progresses toward its 2030 goal, the company is working to enable renewable energy projects around the world. In addition to investments for product use, Apple and its suppliers support over 19 gigawatts of renewable energy, which powers the company's global corporate operations and manufacturing supply chain.
