This project 4 Carbon emissions equivalences calculated using 2021 data from 100 percent renewable since opening May 2012 projects that harness the power of water flowing through 100 percent renewable since opening came online in 2017, producing about 137 m illion kWh the U.S. Energy Information Administration: www.eia.gov/electricity/ local irrigation canals that have been operating for over 60 December 2012 of renewable energy per year. We’ve used the NV sales_revenue_price/pdf/table5_a.pdf . To support our Prineville data center, we signed a 5 Emissions avoided are calculated using the GHG Protocol 200-megawatt power purchase agreement for a new years. In 2022, these microhydro projects are expected Unlike competitive energy markets where some of our GreenEnergy Rider program two more times, first for the methodology for calculating market-based emissions. Oregon wind farm, the Montague Wind Power Facility, to generate nearly 2 m illion kWh of renewable energy. data centers are located, the regulated electricity supply 200-megawatt Techren II solar project. Apple’s largest 6 Carbon emissions equivalences calculated using 2021 data from To supplement these projects, we executed a long-term solar project to date, it’s estimated to produce over the U.S. Energy Information Administration: www.eia.gov/electricity/ which entered commercial operation at the end of 2019. in Nevada did not offer a simple solution for us to create sales_revenue_price/pdf/table5_a.pdf . It’s our largest project to date, producing over 562 m illion purchase agreement for all environmental attributes from new renewable energy projects dedicated to our data 540 m illion kWh per year and came online in late 2019. 7 Emissions avoided are calculated using the GHG Protocol kWh of clean, renewable energy a year. a 69-megawatt portfolio of eight solar projects in Oregon. center. So, in 2013, we created a partnership with the methodology for calculating market-based emissions. local utility, NV Energy, to develop the Fort Churchill Solar Next was the 50-megawatt Turquoise Nevada project, This is in addition to our power purchase agreement for In 2022, the Prineville data center was supported by project. Apple designed, financed, and constructed the which came online in late 2020. The project is estimated the 56-megawatt Solar Star Oregon II project located just projects that generated 275 m illion kWh of renewable project, and NV Energy operates it and directs all the to produce 110 m illion kWh of renewable energy per year. a few miles from our data center. This solar PV project, energy, which is equivalent to the energy used by over renewable energy it produces to our data center. The In 2022, the Reno data center was supported by projects which came online and began supporting the data center 8,000 homes in Oregon for a year. 4 Use of renewable Fort Churchill Solar project uses a photovoltaic panel that generated 419 m illion kWh of renewable energy, in 2017, produces 141 m illion kWh of renewable energy energy allowed us to avoid over 196, 000 m etric tons of with curved mirrors that concentrate sunlight. The which is equivalent to the energy used by nearly 12,000 per year. To strengthen the connection between Apple CO 2 e during the fiscal year. 5 20-megawatt array has an annual production capacity of homes in Nevada for a year. 6 Use of renewable energy and these projects, we use Oregon’s Direct Access over 40 m illion kWh. allowed us to avoid more than 145, 000 m etric tons of program to supply the renewable energy from these Our Prineville data center takes advantage of the cool CO 2 e during the fiscal year. 7 projects directly to our data center. and dry climate by cooling its servers with outside To facilitate further renewable development in Nevada, air whenever possible. Indirect evaporative cooling is Apple worked with NV Energy and the Nevada utility Like in Prineville, our Reno data center takes advantage enabled when the outside air temperature gets too high to commission to create a green energy option open to of the mild climate by cooling its servers with outside cool the servers with outside air alone. all commercial customers, called the NV GreenEnergy air whenever possible. When the outside air is too Rider, that does not require the customer to fund project warm to cool the servers alone, it draws from indirect development up front. Thanks to this new option, in evaporative cooling. 2015 we announced our second Nevada solar project, Prineville, Oregon: Grid mix versus Apple-sourced renewable energy Reno, Nevada: Grid mix versus Apple-sourced renewable energy Electricity use in 2022: 275 m illion kWh Electricity use in 2022: 419 m illion kWh Default grid mix (Oregon) % Apple actual renewable energy allocation % Default grid mix (Nevada) % Apple actual renewable energy allocation % Gas 35 Apple’s microhydro projects 1 Coal 7 Apple’s solar projects 100 Hydro 45 Apple’s solar projects 51 Gas 63 (through the NV GreenEnergy Rider program) Renewable 20 Apple’s wind projects 48 Hydro 5 Source: 2022 energy data.
