U.S. technology company Apple is staying true to its promise to move to 100% renewable energy, putting plans in place for a large solar farm in Reno, Nevada, where it is building a giant data center.

It is working with local utility NV Energy to build the solar farm in Northern Nevada on 167 acres of land which will provide 18 to 20 MW of power for its data center in the Reno Technology Park, managed by the Unique Infrastructure Group.

Apple said it also plans to use geothermal energy to make up its planned 100% renewable energy mix at Reno.
