As part of its commitment to combat climate change and create a healthier environment,

Apple today announced its global facilities are powered with 100 percent clean energy. This achievement includes retail stores, offices, data centers and co-located facilities in 43 countries — including the United States, the United Kingdom, China and India. The company also announced nine additional manufacturing partners have committed to power all of their Apple production with 100 percent clean energy, bringing the total number of supplier commitments to 23.

作为应对气候变化和承诺创造健康环境的一部分，苹果公司今天宣布其在全球的设施及分支机构用100％的清洁能源供电。这一承诺包括了43个国家（如美国，英国，中国和印度）的零售商店、办公室、数据中心和共公设施。该公司还宣布另有9家制造合作商承诺以100％的清洁能源为其所生产的Apple产品供电，至此承诺使用清洁能源的苹果供应商总数已达到23家。

“We’re committed to leaving the world better than we found it. After years of hard work, we’re proud to have reached this significant milestone,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “We’re going to keep pushing the boundaries of what is possible with the materials in our products, the way we recycle them, our facilities and our work with suppliers to establish new creative and forward-looking sources of renewable energy because we know the future depends on it.”

“我们致力于留给子孙后代一个更好的世界。经过多年的努力，我们为能够达到这个重要的里程碑感到自豪，“苹果首席执行官蒂姆·库克说，“我们将推动改进我们产品的材料、我们回收资源的方式、我们的设备和我们的分支机构将与供应商合作的界限，以发现更多新的创造性和前瞻性的可再生能源，因为我们知道未来取决于它。”

Apple and its partners are building new renewable energy projects around the world, improving the energy options for local communities, states and even entire countries.

苹果及其合作伙伴正在全球范围内建设新的可再生能源项目，改进当地社区、州乃至整个国家的能源选择。

Apple creates or develops, with utilities, new regional renewable energy projects that would not otherwise exist. These projects represent a diverse range of energy sources, includingsolar arrays and wind farms as well as emerging technologies like biogas fuel cells, micro-hydro generation systems and energy storage technologies.

苹果公司通过与当地公共事业部门合作，创建或开发新的地区性可再生能源项目，这些本来不存在，但代表了多种可再生能源，包括太阳能电池板、风力发电场以及沼气燃料电池、微型水力发电系统和储能技术等新兴技术。

Apple currently has 25 operational renewable energy projects around the world, totaling 626 megawatts of generation capacity, with 286 megawatts of solar PV generation coming online in 2017, its most ever in one year. It also has 15 more projects in construction. Once built,over 1.4 gigawatts of clean renewable energy generation will be spread across 11 countries.

目前，苹果在全球拥有25个可再生能源运营项目，总发电量达626兆瓦。2017年将有286兆瓦太阳能光伏发电设施投入使用，发电量将达到历史新高。它还有15个项目正在建设中，一旦建成，11个国家将可以使用超过1.4千兆瓦的清洁可再生能源。

Since 2014,

all of Apple’s data centers have been powered by 100 percent renewable energy. And since 2011, all of Apple’s renewable energy projects have reduced greenhouse gas emissions (CO2e) by 54 percent from its facilities worldwide and prevented nearly 2.1 million metric tons of CO2e from entering the atmosphere.

自2014年以来，所有苹果的数据中心都由100％的可再生能源供电。自2011年以来，苹果公司的可再生能源项目都将其在全球机构及设施的温室气体排放量（CO2e）减少了54％，并避免了近210万公吨二氧化碳进入大气层。
