Pivot Energy, a national renewable energy provider and independent power producer, has completed three Illinois community solar projects, totaling 13.475 MWAC supporting Tapestry, the parent company of such accessory brands as Coach and Kate Spade. In December 2025, Tapestry announced that it invested in enough renewable electricity to account for energy production across its stores, offices and fulfillment centers globally.
“Pivot is thrilled to partner with Tapestry on this Illinois portfolio,” said Liz Reddington, VP of development at Pivot Energy. “It demonstrates how companies are continuing to advance renewable energy solutions while providing support to local communities for workforce development, education and more.”
The three new Illinois community solar projects – financed, developed, owned and operated by Pivot – are in Peoria, Dover and Ottawa. They are the first of five Pivot community solar projects to be developed and completed in Illinois and part of a 15-year agreement with Tapestry, which is purchasing renewable energy credits produced by the projects. Construction for the two remaining solar projects in the Illinois portfolio is expected to finish by 2030.
Across the five projects in this partnership, Pivot plans to contribute more than $115,000 to support local initiatives. To date, nearly $65,000 has already been donated to two Illinois organizations, Illinois Central College (ICC) and HIRE360, to fund workforce training programs that expand access to solar careers across the state. The remaining funds will be donated in the coming years as the other two projects reach key construction milestones.
“These Illinois solar projects mark a significant milestone in Tapestry’s renewable energy strategy. Our partnership with Pivot Energy has been instrumental in achieving 100% renewable electricity across our own operations, a key step toward meeting our science-based climate targets,” said Logan Duran, global head of ESG and sustainability at Tapestry. “This collaboration demonstrates how we’re integrating sustainability into the way we operate, investing in solutions that deliver measurable impact for our business and the planet.”
