PowerBank Expands U.S. Renewable Energy Portfolio with New York and Pennsylvania Projects

PowerBank Corporation has secured site control for two new solar projects in the US, a 2.8 MW project in upstate New York and a 3.16 MW project in Pennsylvania. The New York project could supply electricity for 374 homes and qualify under the state's Value of Distributed Energy Resources program. The Pennsylvania project depends on final approval of House Bill 1842, which would allow community solar programs in the state. PowerBank has developed over 100 MW of renewable energy projects and has a pipeline exceeding 1 GW.

PowerBank Corporation (NASDAQ: SUUN) has secured site control for two new solar projects in the United States. The first project, a 2.8 MW facility in upstate New York, is expected to supply electricity for approximately 374 homes. The second project, a 3.16 MW facility in Pennsylvania, is contingent on the final approval of House Bill 1842, which would enable community solar programs in the state.

PowerBank's expertise in renewable energy development is evident in its track record, with over 100 MW of completed projects and a pipeline exceeding 1 GW. The New York project qualifies for the state's Value of Distributed Energy Resources program, which aims to incentivize renewable energy adoption. The Pennsylvania project, if approved, would further expand PowerBank's footprint in the region.

Both projects align with PowerBank's strategic focus on community solar, a model that allows homeowners to access the benefits of solar without installing panels on their property. This approach has been particularly successful in New York, which accounts for nearly one-third of the United States' 6.2 GW of installed solar capacity.

Despite the potential benefits, there are several risks associated with these projects. The development of any project is subject to regulatory approvals, financing arrangements, and market conditions. Additionally, changes in government incentives and policy support schemes for solar power could impact the economic viability of future projects.

PowerBank's forward-looking statements highlight these risks, emphasizing the need for regulatory approvals, financing, and market conditions to align for successful project execution. The company's ability to navigate these challenges will be critical to the success of these projects and its overall growth strategy.
