An announcement from Solarbank Corp. ( (TSE:SUNN) ) is now available.

SolarBank Corporation announced the commencement of construction for its first Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in Ontario, financed by a $25.8 million facility from the Royal Bank of Canada. This project marks SolarBank’s entry into the growing battery energy storage market, projected to expand significantly by 2029. SolarBank’s competitive positioning is highlighted by a 22-year contract with the Independent Electricity System Operator, offering favorable terms compared to other projects. The project is also eligible for a significant Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit, enhancing its economic returns. SolarBank holds a 50% interest in the project, with the other half owned by First Nations communities in Ontario. However, potential risks include regulatory requirements, financing availability, and government policy changes impacting incentives for energy storage.
