Docket No SP-1642 is approved and Project Dolphin Solar Farm A Expanded is moving forward (MacRumors, 2012). Apple will build a 20-MW Solar Photovoltaic Electric Generating Facility in Catawba County, North Carolina. The Commissioner Susan Rabon did not participate.
Interestingly, despite a suggestion from Hickory Daily that residents were worried, no public comments were made during the meeting.
According to a 2011 Charlotte Observer article, Apple plants in Austin, Texas; Sacramento, Calif.; and Cork, Ireland, are 100 percent powered by renewable energy.
Apple is also expected to build the nation’s largest fuel cell project, at 4.8 megawatts (Charlotte Observer, 2012).
