A few months ago, the Apple company submitted an application to receive certification to sell electricity in the USA, and today the federal authorities approved it, so that those from Cupertino will be able to sell to various other companies the energy produced in excess by its power plants that produce electricity.
Apple Energy LLC is the name that will be used by the company that will sell the electricity produced in excess by Apple's solar farms, the entire energy being renewable, those from Apple being able to obtain significant amounts of money from the sale to various companies in the USA, the excess being currently stored within the possible limits.
Apple produces renewable energy in solar centers in Nevada, Arizona and California, the electricity produced there being used to support the data centers in the respective locations, but also the headquarters that the American company has in various cities near the solar centers.
Apart from these locations, the Apple company is awaiting certification to also sell the renewable energy produced by the solar farm that will support the new campus in Cupertino, where no less than 14 MW will be produced, enough to provide electricity for the entire campus and not only that.
Federal energy regulators on Thursday approved Apple's application to start selling solar power at market rates... The tech company owns generation capacity of 20 megawatts in Nevada, 50 megawatts in Arizona and 130 megawatts in California. The latter output – enough to power tens of thousands of homes – will come from Apple's $850 million partnership with sun-farm firm First Solar, at the California Flats solar project in southeast Monterey County.
Apple tries to support all its headquarters with 100% renewable energy and has succeeded in more than 90% of its goal, so now it sells the excess so that the energy is not wasted, considering that it can contribute to reducing the production of electricity through methods that affect the environment.
