Apple is significantly expanding its renewable energy investments across Europe through a series of large-scale solar and wind projects. The technology giant is deploying US$600 million to finance new initiatives in Greece, Italy, Latvia, Poland, and Romania, alongside a newly operational solar array in Spain. Collectively, these projects will add 650 megawatts of new renewable energy capacity to European power grids.
In a recent press release, Apple detailed that these projects are expected to generate over one million megawatt-hours of clean electricity annually once completed. This massive investment is a direct stride toward Apple’s ambitious goal of becoming carbon neutral across its entire supply chain by 2030. This commitment is underscored by the company's energy consumption, which, according to its Environmental Progress Report 2025, totaled 2.5 billion kWh in 2024 to power its global data center and colocation facilities. The company notes that 100 percent of the energy for its eight operational data centers across North America, Europe, and Asia is already derived from renewable sources, including solar, wind, biogas, and hydropower.
Lisa Jackson, Apple’s vice president of Environment, Policy, and Social Initiatives, emphasized the end-user benefit of these initiatives. “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,” Jackson stated. “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 new developments in each country are centered on Apple establishing power purchase agreements (PPAs) with local electricity providers to ensure a dedicated supply of renewable energy. In the Mediterranean, this includes a 110MW solar farm in Greece operated by HELLENiQ ENERGY to support the country's renewable transition. In Italy, a 129MW portfolio of solar and wind projects is underway, with the first solar facility in Sicily expected to become operational soon. Meanwhile, the 131MW Castaño solar array in Segovia, Spain, has already begun operations in early 2025.
Apple’s renewable energy push extends into Eastern and Central Europe with several key projects. Econergy’s 40MW solar array in Poland is scheduled to begin operations later this year. Through a long-term agreement with Nala Renewables, Apple will source power from a 99MW wind farm in Galați County, Romania. Furthermore, the company has signed one of Latvia’s first corporate power purchase agreements with European Energy to secure electricity from a 110MW solar farm. By 2030, Apple’s European projects are projected to add approximately 3,000 gigawatt-hours of clean power to the continent’s grids each year. This effort is part of a broader global initiative where Apple and its suppliers now support 19 gigawatts of renewable energy, powering corporate operations and manufacturing in a major step toward a fully carbon-neutral future.
