Apple plans to build 2,000 MW of clean energy facilities in China, most of which are solar facilities, said Liza Jackson, Apple’s Vice President of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives, in an interview with the reporters from thepaper.cn on Jan. 12, 2015.

Last year, Apple launched two large photovoltaic projects with a total of 210 MW in China. For its first photovoltaic project, Apple cooperated with the Zhonghuan Semiconductor to build two photovoltaic power stations of 40MW in total in Aba autonomous prefecture in Sichuan province. Moreover, Apple chose to cooperate with the same company and built three new energy photovoltaic projects with an initial installed capacity of 100MW, 50MW, and 20MW respectively in Inner Mongolia.

The current installed capacity of 40MW can satisfy the energy needs of Apple's businesses, including all Apple stores in China, according to Jackson. She added that, with Apple’s efforts, its supply chains can have access to clean energy.

Apple has a holistic environmental plan on clean energy, water treatment and waste treatment.
