Apple Park 2019 Annual Renewable Electricity Use Report Apple Park
2019 Annual Renewable Electricity Use Report
Prepared for the Director of Community Development
Background
Section 3.b of Exhibit DP-2 to the "Conditions of Approval-AB 900 Compliance for the
Apple Campus 2 Project" requires Apple to supply 100 percent renewable energy to Apple
Campus 2 Project, Phase 1 ("Apple Park") from any combination of:onsite generation;
purchase through California's Direct Access program and delivered to Apple Park through
the utility's transmission system and measured by the the utility's meter;or market
purchase of renewable energy credits that are Green-e Energy certified. Exhibit DP-2 is
attached to this report.
In support of this requirement,Apple prepared this renewable electricity use report for
calendar year 2019.
100 Percent Renewable Electricity Use
Table 1 shows total electricity use at Apple Park from all sources of electricity supply,and
it shows the percent renewable of that electricity. The table shows Apple Park operated
on 100 percent renewable electricity for the reporting year. A summary table showing
monthly values for each electricity source is attached to this report.

Total electricity use at Apple Park is the sum of:
• electricity generated onsite and connected directly to Apple Park without being
measured by a utility meter and
Annual Renewable Electricity Use Report—2019 2
• electricity supplied by California's Direct Access program connecting to Apple Park
through the utility meter.
Total renewable electricity use at Apple Park is the sum of:
• electricity generated onsite and connected directly to Apple Park without being
measured by a utility meter multiplied by the percent renewable of that generation;
• Direct Access electricity supplied to Apple Park multiplied by the percent renewable
of that supply; and
• purchase of Green-e Energy certified renewable energy certificates (RECs).
Documentation of Direct Access supplied renewables is shown in the WREGIS REC
tracking system summary table,which is attached to this report. The RECs shown in the
WREGIS table were generated from the 130-megawatt California Flats solar PV project. •
Apple owns these RECs through a 25-year power purchase agreement for all electricity
and RECs generated by that project. The WREGIS table only includes REC generated
during the first eight months of 2019;the WREGIS system takes four months or longer to
verify and create RECs. However,the REC quantity in the WREGIS table exceeds the
Direct Access electricity quantity shown in Table 1 because the WREGIS table includes
RECs for Apple Park and for other Apple buildings in the Cupertino area.
