SolarBank Corporation has announced progress on its 2.4 MW DC Sydney project in Nova Scotia, a key development in the Canadian community solar sector. Valued at $4.57 million, the project, developed with AI Renewable Flow-through Fund and Trimac Engineering, is expected to produce 2,730 MWh of clean energy yearly, enough for about 221 homes and to reduce CO₂ emissions by 1,900 tons annually. Construction is set to begin in spring 2026, with SolarBank serving as developer and EPC contractor, aiming for engineering revenues soon and long-term income through operations and maintenance contracts.
This initiative supports Nova Scotia's goal of 80% renewable energy by 2030, reflecting SolarBank's dedication to sustainable energy solutions. The company focuses on renewable and clean energy projects, including solar, BESS, and EV Charging, across Canada and the USA, with a development pipeline over one gigawatt. The Sydney project underscores the role of community solar in environmental sustainability and energy independence, marking a milestone in renewable energy infrastructure and setting a precedent for future projects.
