SolarBank Corporation has announced its strategic positioning to capitalize on the evolving clean energy policies in the United States and Canada. The company is set to accelerate the construction of a 97 MW solar portfolio in the U.S., backed by $100 million in project financing from CIM Group, in response to the new federal legislation extending investment tax credits for projects initiated by July 4, 2026. This move is part of SolarBank's broader strategy to expand its footprint in North America's renewable energy sector.
In Canada, SolarBank is making significant strides under Ontario’s IESO framework and leading the Community Solar program in Nova Scotia. CEO Dr. Richard Lu highlighted the company's focus on leveraging the growth in U.S. solar capacity and Canada's infrastructure development as key drivers for enhancing shareholder value. The company's proactive approach in navigating the regulatory landscapes of both countries underscores its commitment to advancing renewable energy solutions.
SolarBank's development pipeline includes over one gigawatt of potential projects, with a track record of developing renewable energy projects with a combined capacity of over 100 megawatts. This positions the company as a significant player in the transition towards sustainable energy sources in North America. For more information, visit https://SolarBankCorp.com.
