Apple, eBay, Samsung, and Sprint today announced a joint agreement to purchase power from a new wind farm owned and developed by Apex Clean Energy. The transaction — spearheaded by Apple — totals approximately 75 megawatts of clean energy.
Shared energy purchases such as this allow companies to pool their energy demands and collectively support the addition of large-scale renewable energy projects to the grid. Apple brought together other technology leaders dedicated to responsible business practices — eBay, Samsung, and Sprint — in the aggregation agreement, which will enable all participants to access cost-effective, low-carbon renewable energy from the new project. 3Degrees facilitated the agreement.
The full 500 MW White Mesa Wind project is expected to come online in 2021 in Crockett County, Texas.
