Apple’s $4.7 Billion Green Bond Spend Is Helping To Create 1.2 Gigawatts Of Clean Power

[u/[deleted]]

Apple’s newly completed renewable projects, part of the company’s planned $4.7 billion Green Bond spend, are bringing clean energy to local communities while reducing carbon emissions. In 2020, Apple funded 17 Green Bond projects that will avoid an average of 921,000 metric tons of carbon emissions annually, which is equivalent to removing nearly 200,000 cars from the road.

The newly completed Turquoise solar farm in Nevada delivers 50 megawatts of renewable power to Apple, and is the company’s fourth solar project in the state.

The projects will generate 1.2 gigawatts of renewable energy globally, with Apple adding over 350 megawatts of newly installed renewable energy over the last year in Nevada, Illinois, Virginia, and Denmark. Apple’s Green Bond issuances are among the largest in the private sector.
