2012: Project Mills

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.

2017

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.

Solar Power Initiatives

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.

Apple's Move to Renewable Energy

In 2010, Apple reported that just 16% of its total facilities were powered by renewables. Within just six years, that number skyrocketed up to 96% in 2016. In 2018, Apple said that it has achieved 100% renewable energy. Source: cleantechnica.com.

As of early 2018, Apple had 25 operational renewable energy projects around the world, totaling 626 MW of generation capacity. Notably, 286 MW of solar PV generation came online in 2017. There are 15 more projects under construction that represent over 1.4 GW of renewable energy generation across 11 countries.

In Prineville, Ore., the Apple signed a 200 MW power purchase agreement for an Oregon wind farm, the Montague Wind Power Project, set to come online by the end of 2019.

Apple’s data center in Maiden, N.C., is supported by projects that generate 244 million kWh of renewable energy per year, which is equivalent to the energy used by 17,906 North Carolina homes.
