TORONTO, Sept. 24, 2024 /CNW/ - SolarBank Corporation (NASDAQ: SUUN) (Cboe CA: SUNN) (FSE: GY2) ("SolarBank" or the "Company") announces that it intends to develop a 7 MW DC ground-mount solar power project known as the Hwy 28 project (the "Project") on a 45 acre site located in Middletown, Delaware County, New York. This follows yesterday's press release regarding a 5.4 MW DC ground-mount solar power project known as the Boyle project on a site located in Broome County, New York that the Company is developing. The Project is expected to be eligible for incentives under the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority ("NYSERDA") NY-Sun Program.
The Company has secured a lease over the Project site and received interconnection approval. It will now work to complete the permitting process and secure the necessary financing for construction. The Hwy 28 Project is another addition to SolarBank's growing community solar portfolio, and contributes to the Company's extensive development pipeline, which now exceeds one gigawatt.
Once completed, the Project will be operated as a community solar project. The clean energy generated by a community solar project feeds directly into the local electricity grid. Depending on the size and number of panels the project has, dozens or even hundreds of renters and homeowners can earn credits on their electric bill and save money from the electricity that is generated by the project. By subscribing to a project, community members can access the benefits of renewable energy without having to install panels on their home. SolarBank's strategic focus on community solar aligns with its goal of powering thousands of homes with clean and affordable energy.
There are several risks associated with the development of the Project. The development of any project is subject to receipt of required permits, the continued availability of third-party financing arrangements for the Company and the risks associated with the construction of a solar power project. In addition, governments may revise, reduce or eliminate incentives and policy support schemes for solar power, which could result in future projects no longer being economical. Please refer to "Forward-Looking Statements" for additional discussion of the assumptions and risk factors associated with the statements in this press release.
