US renewable energy company Pivot Energy has partnered with electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian Automotive Inc (NASDAQ:RIVN) to develop 60 MWdc of community solar projects in Illinois. The projects will be supported by Rivian purchasing renewable energy certificates from a 50-MWdc development and by subscription to 10 MWdc community solar from Pivot energy. The new community solar farms are expected to generate an average of 79,000 MWh of electricity per year, while they will be located in a region that is 67% dirtier than the US grid. Rivian aims to run its factory on 100% renewable energy annually by 2030 and plans to use 2 GW of renewables in support of EV charging.
