PowerBank Secures Permission to Operate for 3.26 MW New York Solar Project Valued at US$7.3 Million
New York Community Solar Project Reaches Key Operational Milestone, Expanding PowerBank’s Track Record of Successful Renewable Energy Development
Camillus milestone reinforces PowerBank’s execution capabilities, with more than 100 MW of completed projects and a development pipeline approaching 1 GW
Toronto, Ontario, November 3, 2026 — 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 that the 3.26 MW ground-mount community solar project known as Camillus (the “Project”) has achieved permission to operate, marking a key milestone in bringing the Project into service. Developed on a closed landfill, Camillus transforms previously underutilized land into a productive renewable energy site serving local households. The Project was sold to and constructed for Solar Advocate Development LLC (the “Owner”) in a transaction valued at US$7.3 million.
Camillus adds to PowerBank’s track record of more than 100 MW of completed projects, demonstrating the Company’s ability to advance complex developments through construction and operational approval. With a development pipeline approaching 1 GW, PowerBank continues to pursue opportunities to apply that experience across a broader portfolio of North American energy projects.
Turning Challenging Sites into Energy Assets
PowerBank’s President and Chief Operating Officer, Andrew van Doorn commented: “A closed landfill is land that most people would write off. At Camillus, our engineers and construction partners turned it into a 3.26 MW source of clean power for local households. Reaching permission to operate on a site like this reflects decades of hands-on experience, and it’s exactly the kind of project where that experience matters most.”
Delivering Local Benefits Through Community Solar
Camillus is now authorized to begin operating as a community solar project, enabling participating renters and homeowners to access the financial and environmental benefits of solar energy without installing rooftop panels on their home. Subscribers receive credits on their electricity bills based on their share of the Project’s solar energy generated.
Solar Simplified manages customer acquisition, enrollment and subscription services for community solar projects developed by PowerBank’s subsidiary, Abundant Solar Power. This support allows the development team to focus on project execution and portfolio expansion while helping connect households with community solar savings.
Building on a Proven Development Platform
The Camillus milestone demonstrates PowerBank’s ability to combine engineering expertise, construction execution and strategic relationships to bring renewable energy projects into service.
As electrification, artificial intelligence and data center expansion place an unprecedented demand on North American electricity needs, PowerBank’s completed-project track record and development pipeline provide a foundation for pursuing further growth.
