Recently the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission gave their approval to Apple which means that now the company can go ahead and use the excess energy that they have. Apple has their own renewable energy facilities and solar farms that are located in California, Arizona and Nevada. Now with this approval the extra energy can be sold by the company by supplying 130MW in California, in Arizona they can sell 50 megawatts and in Nevada they have around 20MW. This means that many homes can go ahead and get enough power from all of them combined.
