<p>Apple signed a deal this week to power to its Sparks, Nevada data center with possibly the cheapest contracted starting price for solar power in the US. The deal was signed with NV Energy, owned by Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway (https://electrek.co/2016/03/01/warren-buffett-explains-his-logic-for-killing-rooftop-solar-in-nevada-video/).</p>
<p>The deal’s start price is 3.099¢/kWh with a 2% a year escalator making it very inexpensive energy.  The size of the solar project is 50MW.</p>
