Apple is expanding its renewable energy footprint across Europe through a series of new large-scale solar and wind projects. These developments, located in Greece, Italy, Latvia, Poland, and Romania, together with an already operational solar array in Spain, will add 650 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy capacity to the European grid. The combined effort is expected to generate more than 1 million megawatt-hours (MWh) of clean electricity by 2030, supporting Apple’s commitment to carbon neutrality across its entire business and customer footprint.
Supporting Apple’s 2030 carbon-neutral goal
As part of its Apple 2030 initiative, the company aims to ensure that all energy used by customers to charge and power Apple products is matched with clean electricity. The European projects, unlocking over €600 million in financing, mark a significant step toward achieving this. By 2030, Apple plans to match 100% of global customer electricity use with renewable energy sources.
Lisa Jackson, Apple’s vice president of Environment, Policy, and Social Initiatives, stated: “By 2030, we want our users to know that all the energy it takes to charge their Apple iPhone or power their Mac is matched with clean electricity. Our new projects in Europe will help us achieve this goal while contributing to healthy communities, thriving economies, and secure energy sources across the continent.”
Reducing emissions from product use
Product use, the electricity consumed to charge Apple devices, accounted for about 29% of Apple’s total greenhouse gas emissions in 2024. To tackle these emissions, Apple supports renewable energy initiatives that directly impact the grids where its products are most used. The company’s approach prioritizes projects in regions with higher carbon intensity, ensuring both environmental and social impact while protecting biodiversity and local communities.
Key projects across Europe
In Greece, Apple has entered a long-term agreement with HELLENiQ ENERGY to procure electricity from a 110MW solar project. In Italy, the company supports a 129MW portfolio of solar and wind developments, beginning with a solar project in Sicily set to go live this month.
In Poland, Apple has enabled Econergy’s 40MW solar array, which is expected to become operational later this year. Meanwhile, in Romania, Apple plans to procure power from Nala Renewables’ 99MW wind farm in Galați County, currently under construction by OX2. In Latvia, Apple signed one of the country’s first corporate power purchase agreements with European Energy to source electricity from a 110MW solar farm.
Earlier this year, Apple also enabled a 131MW solar project in Segovia, Spain, developed by ib vogt, which is now fully operational. Across Europe, Apple’s clean energy initiatives are projected to contribute about 3,000 gigawatt-hours of renewable electricity to the grid annually by 2030.
Driving renewable energy leadership
As Apple continues progressing toward its 2030 targets, the company’s broader strategy includes working with suppliers to advance renewable energy adoption globally. Together with its partners, Apple currently supports over 19 gigawatts of renewable energy used to power its corporate operations and manufacturing supply chain.
