The 650MW figure includes a 131MW solar facility developed by ib vogt in Segovia, Spain, which entered commercial operation earlier this year.

“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 and policy.

Device charging and power consumption accounted for roughly 29% of Apple’s total greenhouse gas emissions in 2024.

Key projects include a 110MW solar offtake agreement with Helleniq Energy in Greece, a 129MW solar and wind portfolio in Italy, Econergy’s 40MW solar array in Poland, Nala Renewables’ 99MW wind farm in Romania, and a 110MW solar farm in Latvia developed by European Energy, one of the country’s first corporate PPAs.
