Apple first announced the project in 2012 to build a data center on a 345-acre parcel in the Reno Technology Park. Originally codenamed "Project Mills", Initially, Apple constructed a 372,893 square foot data center with 8 clusters, as well as a supporting administration building, garage, and generator yard.
In 2017, Apple announced plans to expand the campus by an additional $1 billion. The expansion would add "8 clusters" of buildings with the total square footage of 372,893. In 2017 an Apple contractor filed permit under the name Project Isabel but withdrew the application on the same day.
In 2017 Apple announced that it reached an agreement with NV Energy to build a 200 megawatt solar farm by 2019.
One of the solar fields, the Turquoise Solar Project, will have 60 M of solar energy production. It is located 2 miles from the data center at 21905 Reno Technology Pkwy East in Sparks, NV. Construction on the first phase of the Turquoise Solar project began in July 2018 and is scheduled to complete by the end of 2019. Phase I of the project will generate 10 MW of power and Phase II will bring the total energy output to 60 MW.
