Apple Inc. owns and operates many structures around the world, including offices, stores, factories, data centers and energy facilities.
Offices and stores
[edit]Apple Campus is the main headquarters, while Apple Campus 2 is in the final stage of construction. Apple has local headquarters and offices in Ireland, England and Israel, and 478 retail stores in seventeen countries.[1]
Data centers
[edit]Apple has data centers in Prineville, Oregon; Maiden, North Carolina; and Reno, Nevada.[2][3] They provide information storage and processing for Apple's online services like iTunes, App Store, iCloud and others.
The $1 billion Maiden center is 505,000 square feet.[2][4]
The data center in Reno Technology Park was built in 2012[5] and is being expanded.[6][7]
Apple is building data centers in Ireland and Denmark at $1.9 billion,[2] expected to use between 876 and 2190 GWh of electricity per year.[8]
Energy
[edit]Apple created a company called "Apple Energy"[9] in 2016[10] and invested in energy sources (usually renewable), sometimes close to the power-consuming data centers.
In USA, Apple has 218 MW of solar power.[11] Apple is building a 10 MW fuel cell landfill gas energy plant near its data center in North Carolina,[12][2] and builds a 200 MW solar farm with NV Energy to serve its Reno data center.[13]
In China, Apple owns 210 MW of solar and a 30% share in 285 MW of wind power.[14]
In Denmark, Apple cooperates with a university in providing biogas to supplement wind, hydro and solar power for its coming data center.[8]
