This reduces the carbon footprint day of operations 14 Emissions avoided are calculated using the GHG Protocol methodology for calculating market-based emissions. Our data center came online in 2020. The data center’s of the data center and completely eliminates the need To cover the electricity load at our two data centers in construction phase was powered with 100 percent wind for large diesel fuel storage systems and diesel engine China, we procure 100 percent renewable electricity from energy from a local renewable energy retailer in Denmark. emissions that would impact the local community. a solar project that came online recently in China. Our Northern Jutland PV project achieved commercial operation in late 2019, will meet all the data center’s In 2022, the Denmark data center sourced 27 m illion kWh As the data centers further expand, we’ll continue to near-term energy needs, and at 42 m egawatts, is one of renewable energy, avoiding more than 14, 479 m etric source renewable electricity in-country to support the of Denmark’s largest solar power plants. Our second tons of CO 2 e. 13 growth with renewable electricity. renewable project in Denmark, a 17 M W wind project, also came online in late 2020. We have secured long-term In 2022, the China data center was supported by supply contracts with both Danish renewable projects, 98 m illion kWh of renewable energy, avoiding more than which will scale up as our data center loads grow. 60, 503 m etric tons of CO 2 e during the fiscal year. 14 Denmark: Grid mix versus Apple-sourced renewable energy China: Grid mix versus Apple-sourced renewable energy Electricity use in 2022: 27 m illion kWh Electricity use in 2022: 98 m illion kWh Default grid mix (Denmark) % Apple actual renewable energy allocation % Default grid mix (China) % Apple actual renewable energy allocation % Coal 13 Apple’s wind and solar projects 100 Coal 63 Apple’s solar project 100 Gas 5 Source: 2022 energy data.
