“This is another milestone for us as we build corporate value through ownership of projects that we complete and the energy they generate,” said Richard Lu, CEO at SolarBank. “We appreciate the Village of Union Springs and its proactive approach to mitigating climate change with our solar systems. Our company is in a position of strength given the initiatives backstopped by the NYSERDA NY-Sun programs, and we intend to remain relentless in the pursuit of our goal to become a large-scale independent power provider.”
SolarBank is a renewable and clean energy project developer focused on distributed and community solar projects in Canada and the U.S. Its potential development pipeline stands at over 700 megawatts.
