Apple Invests In New Renewable Energy Solutions With Over 110 Suppliers To Reduce CO2 Levels In The Atmosphere
Apple announced on Wednesday (31) that it will build and make new investments to create a renewable battery storage facility in central California, near a solar power plant that already provides energy for all its facilities in the state to reduce CO2 levels.

According to Apple, the project aimed at attracting new investments in renewable energy will store 240 megawatt-hours of energy, enough to power over 7,000 homes for a day. It is located near the California Flats solar facility in southeastern Monterey County, about 160 kilometers southeast of Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino, California.
The site sends 130 megawatts of electricity directly to Apple’s facilities in California during the day, but does not provide power during the dark period. Lisa Jackson, Apple’s Vice President of Environment, Policy, and Social Initiatives, stated in an interview that the company aims to develop what it believes to be one of the largest battery storage systems in the United States.

Supplier Commitments And Global Renewable Energy Projects
Apple is constantly investing in new tools for its suppliers aimed at helping them achieve their renewable energy goals and bring new clean energy to communities around the world. In Europe, the wind power purchase agreement from DSM Engineering Materials is bringing new clean energy to the grid in the Netherlands, and STMicroelectronics’ solar garage in Morocco supports regional energy production.
Companies like Solvay are now expanding their use of renewable energy for their broader operations after joining Apple’s Clean Energy Supplier Program five years ago. In the U.S., Alpha and Omega Semiconductor, Marian, The Chemours Company, and Trinseo have recently committed to the program. In China, 15 suppliers have joined Apple’s program since July 2020.
By sharing the experience gained through Apple’s own transition to 100 percent renewable energy with its suppliers, the company provides suppliers with resources and training materials with country-specific information to guide them in their transition to renewable energy.
Apple also educates suppliers through advanced and customized training with leading experts. The company supports the creation and growth of renewable energy industry associations that its suppliers can join to learn about local opportunities.
