Apple Energy and Avangrid Renewables, a subsidiary of the energy company Iberdrola, signed a 20-year contract to supply the California giant with electricity. It's about building a new wind farm in Oregon.

Construction of the Montague wind farm will begin in 2018. The cost of the station with a total capacity of 200 MW will be about $ 300 million. As part of the agreement, Avangrid Renewablesa will own and manage the wind farm and supply Apple's electricity over the next 20 years.

Iberdrola already serves several power plants using renewable sources. The total capacity of these units exceeds 1600 MW / h.

The last few years, Apple is actively investing in renewable energy sources, taking care of the environment. In early 2017, it became known that an agreement was reached with the energy company NV Energy, in which the iPhone manufacturer will deploy in Nevada another solar power plant with a capacity of 200 MW.

This facility will generate energy for the work of the data center Apple, located in the city of Reno.

In Cupertino they agreed to allocate up to 5 MW of electricity for the needs of NV Energy.

Apple is known for its desire to use the most advanced methods of increasing energy efficiency, clean technologies and alternative energy in its data centers. Thanks to the use of a solar farm and fuel cells, Apple will be able to fully meet the power requirements of the data center.

In Cupertino in the past they stated that they are trying to translate all their data centers into renewable energy.
