After years of construction, Apple’s Viborg data center is online, and Apple has spotlighted how the data center will be 100% powered by clean energy.
Apple’s data center in Viborg, a 45,000-square-meter facility offering network support and data storage to its users across the region, is now running, and fully staffed. The data center helps power Apple’s App Store, Apple Music, iMessage, Siri, and other services in Europe that are run entirely on renewable energy from local projects.To help provide power for the center, Apple has announced that it will invest in the construction of two of the “worlds biggest” onshore wind turbines, to help fulfill the goal of becoming carbon neutral. The 200-meter wind turbines will be located near Esbjerg, and are expected to produce 62 gigawatt hours each year. If used solely on the grid, this would be enough to power almost 20,000 homes.
