- Apple is expanding its clean energy portfolio across Europe with new solar and wind projects in Greece, Italy, Latvia, Poland, and Romania.
- The initiative supports Apple’s 2030 goal to match all customers’ electricity use with clean energy, generating over 1 million megawatt-hours of renewable power.
Apple is accelerating its renewable energy investment across Europe, building large-scale solar and wind projects in Greece, Italy, Latvia, Poland, and Romania. The company also activated a new solar array in Spain. Together, these projects will deliver 650 megawatts of additional clean energy capacity, mobilise more than $600 million in financing, and generate over one million megawatt-hours of renewable electricity by 2030.
Apple designed this expansion to advance its 2030 goal of achieving carbon neutrality across all operations and products by the decade’s end. The company is developing renewable projects that directly offset the electricity its European customers use to charge and power their devices. By 2030, Apple aims to match 100 per cent of customer electricity consumption with clean energy by bringing new wind and solar capacity online worldwide.
Lisa Jackson, Apple’s Vice President of Environment, Policy, and Social Initiatives, reaffirmed the company’s determination: “By 2030, we want every Apple user to know that the energy powering their iPhone or Mac is matched with clean electricity. Our European projects move us closer to that vision while strengthening communities, economies, and energy security across the continent.”
In 2024, electricity used to power and charge Apple products accounted for 29 per cent of the company’s total greenhouse gas emissions. Apple funds renewable energy projects to reduce these emissions that significantly improve regional grids, especially in areas with high carbon intensity. The company designs each initiative to deliver measurable climate benefits while protecting biodiversity and supporting local communities.
Apple has already implemented several projects that demonstrate this commitment. The Castaño Solar Array in Spain, now fully operational, contributes clean energy to the Spanish grid. Across Europe, Apple is developing projects that will add 3,000 gigawatt-hours of renewable power annually by 2030.
Apple signed a long-term agreement with HELLENiQ ENERGY in Greece to purchase electricity from a 110-megawatt solar farm, now fully operational and advancing Greece’s renewable transition. In Italy, Apple is backing 129 megawatts of solar and wind projects, with the first — a solar installation in Sicily — set to begin operations this month.
Apple enabled Econergy’s 40-megawatt solar array in Poland, which is scheduled to go online later this year. The company also committed to buying electricity from Nala Renewables’ 99-megawatt wind farm in Galați County, Romania, under a long-term agreement arranged by OX2, which is currently constructing the project.
In Latvia, Apple signed one of the country’s first corporate power purchase agreements with European Energy, securing clean electricity from a 110-megawatt solar farm that will soon supply renewable power to the national grid. In Spain, Apple supported ib vogt’s 131-megawatt solar farm in Segovia, which began operations earlier this year.
As Apple continues to advance its 2030 commitment, it is expanding renewable energy investments worldwide. The company and its suppliers now support more than 19 gigawatts of renewable capacity, powering Apple’s corporate operations and global manufacturing network.
