Tapestry, Inc. announced that it has completed the commissioning of three community solar projects in Illinois, in partnership with Pivot Energy. The projects—located in Peoria, Dover, and Ottawa—total 13.475 MWac and are the first of five planned in the state under a 15‑year renewable‑energy‑credit agreement.
The new installations are expected to generate more than 23,000 MWh of clean electricity each year, enough to power roughly 2,500 Illinois households. The projects represent a tangible step toward Tapestry’s global goal of 100 % renewable electricity across all stores, offices, and fulfillment centers, and they help the company hedge against volatile energy prices while reducing its carbon footprint.
Pivot Energy will contribute more than $115,000 to local community initiatives, with nearly $65,000 already donated to Illinois Central College and HIRE360 for workforce‑training programs. These community‑impact commitments reinforce Tapestry’s brand narrative of responsible sourcing and environmental stewardship, and they demonstrate the company’s willingness to invest in the regions where it operates.
The partnership allows Tapestry to leverage Pivot Energy’s expertise in developing and operating community solar, accelerating the company’s transition to renewable energy without the need to manage the infrastructure directly. By securing long‑term renewable‑energy‑credit purchases, Tapestry can lock in clean power for its facilities and signal to investors and consumers that it is serious about sustainability.
Overall, the completion of these projects marks a significant operational milestone for Tapestry, advancing its sustainability agenda, strengthening community ties, and positioning the company to meet its renewable‑energy targets in a cost‑effective and scalable manner.
