Key Terms

2 terms
engineering, procurement, and construction agreement technical
"completed under an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Agreement ("EPC")"
A contract in which one firm is hired to design a project, buy the necessary equipment and materials, and build the finished facility so it is ready to operate. These agreements often set a price, schedule, and performance responsibilities for the single contractor, like hiring a general contractor to deliver a completed house. Investors care because the contract allocates who bears cost overruns, delays, and performance guarantees, which affects project risk and cash flow timing.
small scale generation program regulatory
"It has been selling power to the grid under Alberta's Small Scale Generation program."
A small scale generation program is an organized scheme that supports or manages production of electricity or other energy by many small, local sources—such as rooftop solar panels, small wind turbines, or backup generators—rather than by large central power plants. For investors, it matters because these programs can change a company’s revenue streams, cost structure, regulatory exposure, and market demand for products or services tied to distributed energy, much like many backyard gardens collectively affect local food supply.

TORONTO, July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - PowerBank Corporation (NASDAQ: PBK) (Cboe CA: PBK) (FSE: 103) ("PowerBank" or the "Company"), a leader in independent energy development and asset ownership in North America, is pleased to announce it has received the certificate of final completion for the 1.45 MW DC rooftop solar project located in Calgary, Alberta (the "Project"), completed under an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Agreement ("EPC") for Fiera Real Estate Investments Limited ("Fiera Real Estate").

PowerBank Logo

In December of 2025, the Company announced that the Project reached commercial operation. It has been selling power to the grid under Alberta's Small Scale Generation program.

As the demand for power across Canada continues to rise, PowerBank's experience delivering EPC services across multiple provinces positions the Company to support that growth. In Alberta specifically, the Alberta Electric System Operator has reported more than 20,000 MW of data center load requests seeking to connect to the provincial grid, compared to Alberta's current peak demand of approximately 12,000 MW, and has confirmed that only about 1,200 MW of large new load can be reliably accommodated in the near term without additional generation or system upgrades1. With 100 MW of completed projects, PowerBank's track record executing solar and energy storage projects across Alberta, Ontario and other Canadian and U.S. markets provides the cross-jurisdictional development, permitting and construction expertise the Company believes will be needed to help meet this growing demand for power.
