Apple Inc. has joined a global renewable energy initiative RE100, a collaborative, global initiative of influential businesses committed to 100 per cent renewable electricity.
Launched at Climate Week NYC 2014 and now with 73 members, RE100 believes that switching the private sector’s energy demand, which accounts for about half of the world’s electricity consumption, to renewables will accelerate the transformation of the global energy market and aid the transition to a low carbon economy.
Apple has completed construction on its latest renewable energy project, a 50-megawatt solar farm in the state of Arizona, to power its global command data centre in Mesa, Arizona.
