The company has invested heavily in renewable energy sources (http://www.imore.com/apple-google-microsoft-come-out-clean-greenpeace-cloud-rankings-amazon-dirty) for not only its data centers, but other properties too, including the new campus (http://www.imore.com/campus-2) currently under construction in Cupertino. This new solar farm will join two other installations (http://www.imore.com/solar-farms-and-fuel-cells-apples-north-carolina-data-center-now-completely-operational) in the vicinity.</p> <p>With further infrastructure developments in place, it's unknown as to whether or not Apple will expand the data center itself. Apple will also source 75 new jobs locally, if possible, during construction.</p> <p>Source: Hickory Record (http://www.hickoryrecord.com/news/agreement-for-new-apple-farm-approved/article_47601506-063d-11e4-ab2b-0017a43b2370.html), via: MacRumors (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/07/08/apple-third-solar-farm-nc/)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-25594"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3c49fd10/sc/46/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
