Apple has agreed to buy zero-emission electricity from a new 600 MW wind farm to be constructed in north Queensland, Australia as part of its strategies to become "100% carbon neutral" by 2030.
Developed by Australian renewable energy company Windlab, the Upper Burdekin wind farm is scheduled to put into operation in 2026.
The iPhone maker did not disclose the procured volume, but stated that the contracted power is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 80,000 homes. Windlab estimates that its 100-turbine project can power up to 300,000 Australian households.
