Apple data center in Reno
Apple has always been characterized by respect the environment trying to obtain electricity for its facilities and the factories where its devices are manufactured, from renewable sources, like solar energy. Apple has in the United States many square kilometers of solar panels with which to supply its facilities and as we saw the other day in the construction of Campus 2, this energy will be the main source of power for the new Apple complex.
Apple plans to invest $ 850 million for a new data center in Ireland, where it has already received permission from the authorities, but for the moment the project has been paralyzed due to the possible negative effect that this construction could have on the local fauna.
Despite having received the approval of local authorities, Apple will have to wait for a second environmental study is carried out in which the possible damage to fauna and flora is being studied of the area where the construction of this new data center is planned. An Bord Pleanàla is a training that protects the environment and is the one who is conducting a second study to be able to paralyze the future data center.
Peter Feeney, a councilor for the county of Galway, where the construction of this new data center is planned, says that he cannot wait months to decide if the works begin or if Apple has to find a new location for its facilities. Galway residents expressed concern about the project, requesting an environmental impact study, despite this the authorities granted permission to Apple to begin with the construction of the first of the eight warehouses that make up the data center.
That if, before starting each new ship, they had to request permission again from the city council. Whether or not this new complete is finally built in Galway we will know before the month of June, Feeney has claimed.
