Apple has signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to procure solar power in Spain.

The iPhone maker has signed a deal with ib vogt to offtake 105MWac of solar power from the Castaño Solar project in the province of Segovia, northwest of Madrid.

“Spain has developed to become a major market for solar PV, with significant opportunities for companies to benefit from low-cost, low-carbon solar power," said Anton Milner, CEO of ib vogt.

"This PPA is a perfect example, and I would like to thank all involved parties who helped make this a success and especially Apple, who are partnering with us on this project.

“We have a growing portfolio in Spain with more opportunities for corporate PPA’s through our turn-key solar projects.”

The project, with a peak capacity of 134MWp, will use bifacial solar panels on a single-axis tracker system to maximize energy production.

The solar farm is one of three projects with pay-as-produced fixed price PPAs that ib vogt is currently constructing in the province and is expected to be fully operational in December 2024.

Apple operates a total of seven data centers across the US, Denmark, and China, as well as utilizing a number of colocation sites. The company is a major Google Cloud and AWS customer. The company says all its data centers are powered by renewable energy via PPAs and other agreements.

Apple doesn’t currently operate a data center in Spain.

Founded in 2002 and majority owned by DIF Capital Partners, ib vogt has previously signed a solar PPA with Google in Spain and AirTrunk in Malaysia.
