I love that Apple is buying solar energy for their stores and headquarters but let’s be realistic about this. Apple is buying solar because its likely the cheapest source of energy AND it makes them look really good. What I don’t understand is the $850million. All of the data refers to 130MW at a cost of $850million. The articles also mention a PPA, so even if Apple paid an exorbitant $0.07/kWh, the 25 year total would be in the low to mid $400millions. I’m not a fan of mismatching numbers, so will someone please fill me in.
