Romania October 16, 2025 : Apple Inc. is significantly expanding its renewable energy initiatives across Europe with a series of new large-scale solar and wind projects. The expansion spans Greece, Italy, Latvia, Poland, and Romania, complementing a newly operational solar array in Spain. Altogether, these projects will add 650 megawatts of renewable energy capacity to European grids and unlock over $600 million in financing, generating more than one million megawatt-hours of clean electricity annually for Apple users by 2030.

The move is part of Apple’s broader Apple 2030 goal to achieve carbon neutrality across its entire footprint, including products, operations, and supply chains. By 2030, Apple plans to match 100% of the electricity used by customers to power and charge Apple devices with clean energy, deploying new wind and solar projects around the world to meet that target.

In an official press release by Apple Inc., Lisa Jackson, Apple’s vice president of Environment, Policy, and Social Initiatives said, “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. 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.”

Key projects include a 110 MW solar farm in Greece developed by HELLENiQ ENERGY, a 129 MW portfolio of solar and wind projects in Italy, and a 40 MW solar array in Poland, located on one of Europe’s most carbon-intensive grids. Apple is also developing a 99 MW wind farm in Romania, a 110 MW solar farm in Latvia, and a 131 MW operational solar farm in Segovia, Spain. Collectively, these initiatives are expected to contribute around 3,000 gigawatt-hours of renewable energy to European grids annually by 2030.

Apple’s renewable strategy focuses not only on generating clean energy but also on reducing emissions where products are used. In 2024, energy consumption from charging and powering Apple devices accounted for roughly 29% of the company’s total greenhouse gas emissions. By strategically investing in renewable projects in high-carbon intensity grids, Apple aims to maximise its environmental impact while protecting communities and biodiversity.

Beyond Europe, Apple and its suppliers currently support more than 19 gigawatts of renewable energy globally, powering corporate operations and manufacturing facilities. This expansion underscores Apple’s growing role in accelerating the global energy transition and setting a benchmark for corporate sustainability leadership.

The expansion forms part of Apple’s broader “Apple 2030” initiative, which aims for carbon neutrality across the company’s footprint, including devices, operations, and supply chains. Experts say Apple’s investments signal a growing role for major tech firms in the energy transition while also supporting job creation and clean energy infrastructure in host countries.
