Apple is accelerating its clean energy ambitions as part of its goal to become carbon neutral across its business, supply chain, and product life cycle by 2030. The company has announced new large-scale renewable energy projects across Europe and China, marking another major step toward its “Apple 2030” sustainability target.
By the end of this decade, Apple plans to match 100% of the electricity customers use to power and charge their Apple devices with clean energy. The initiative will bring new wind and solar developments online across key regions to offset product-use emissions, which accounted for around 29% of Apple’s total greenhouse gas output in 2024.
In Europe, Apple is enabling over 650 megawatts of renewable capacity across Greece, Italy, Latvia, Poland, and Romania. A newly operational solar array in Spain adds to this growing portfolio. Together, these projects are expected to generate more than one million megawatt-hours of clean electricity by 2030. Apple’s investments are set to unlock over $600 million in financing while supporting stable and sustainable power across local grids.
Apple’s vice president of Environment, Policy, and Social Initiatives, Lisa Jackson, said that the company wants users to know their devices are powered responsibly. “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 explained. “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.”
Across Europe, Apple has signed long-term agreements to procure electricity from a 110MW solar project in Greece, a 129MW portfolio of solar and wind projects in Italy, and a 40MW solar installation in Poland. In Romania, the company will source power from Nala Renewables’ 99MW wind farm in Galați County. In Latvia, Apple has finalized a power purchase agreement for electricity from a 110MW solar farm developed by European Energy.
In China, Apple said that over 90% of its manufacturing operations are now powered by renewable energy. To further support this transition, Apple’s suppliers have launched a $150 million fund to expand renewable infrastructure across the country. The company has also donated to Tsinghua University in Beijing to advance environmental education and research.
Altogether, Apple and its suppliers are supporting more than 19 gigawatts of renewable energy to power corporate operations and manufacturing globally. With these efforts, Apple continues moving toward its vision of a carbon-neutral future where every iPhone, iPad, and Mac runs on clean electricity.
