(contracted; show full)ed States.  Apple’s Cupertino Campus 2 Photovoltaics are rated at 14 [[megawatts]] alone.  Currently, when most  companies sell their excess power, they can only do so to energy companies often (varies by state) sell it at wholesale rates. Apple's intent in creating this subsidiary is to sell directly to end-users at market rates to be compensated retail prices for its excess power. As of June 6, 2016, Apple's solar farms in California and Nevada, have been declared to provide 217.9 megawatts of 
solar generation capacity.

Apple has told the [[FERC]] that it meets the legal criteria for selling electricity at market rates because it is not a major player in the energy business and thus has no power to influence electricity prices. It has requested permission begin within 60 days of its filing on June 6, 2016.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://electrek.co/2016/06/10/apple-energy-deeper-dive-is-this-apple-running-its-own-microgrids-or-more/|title=Apple Energy deeper dive: Is this Apple running its own microgrids or more?|last=Weaver|first=John Fitzgerald|date=2016-06-10|website=Electrek|access-date=2016-06-12}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://9to5mac.com/2016/06/09/apple-energy-company/|title=Apple has just become an energy company, looks to sell excess electricity into the grid and maybe more|last=Weintraub|first=Seth|date=2016-06-09|website=9to5Mac|access-date=2016-06-12}}</ref>
