2.9-Megawatt Solar Project in Development by SolarBank in Gainesville, New York

Source: www.gulfoilandgas.com 10/4/2024, Location: North America

SolarBank Corporation (“SolarBank” or the "Company") is pleased to announce its plans to develop a 2.9 MW DC ground-mount solar power project known as the Silver Springs project (the “Project”) on a site located in Gainesville, New York. With a secured site lease and interconnection study underway, the Project is another key addition to SolarBank’s expanding development pipeline and presence in the region.

Following the interconnection study, the Company will continue to work to complete the permitting process and secure the necessary financing for the construction of the Project. The Project is expected to be eligible for incentives under the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority ("NYSERDA") NY-Sun Program.

Once completed, the Project will be operated as a community solar project. The clean energy generated by a community solar project feeds directly into the local electricity grid. Depending on the size and number of panels the project has, dozens or even hundreds of renters and homeowners can earn credits on their electric bill and save money from the electricity that is generated by the project. By subscribing to a project, community members can access the benefits of renewable energy without having to install panels on their home. SolarBank’s strategic focus on community solar aligns with its goal of powering thousands of homes with clean and affordable energy.

There are several risks associated with the development of the Project. The development of any project is subject to receipt of interconnection approval, required permits, the continued availability of third-party financing arrangements for the Company and the risks associated with the construction of a solar power project. In addition, governments may revise, reduce or eliminate incentives and policy support schemes for solar power, which could result in future projects no longer being economic. Please refer to “Forward-Looking Statements” for additional discussion of the assumptions and risk factors associated with the projects and statements made in this press release.

Update on At-The-Market Equity Program
The Company also announces that it has entered into a second amended and restated equity distribution agreement (the "Restated Distribution Agreement") with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”), Research Capital Corporation ("RCC") and Research Capital USA Inc. (“RC US”, and together with Wainwright and RCC, the "Agents") to add Wainwright as a sales agent under the Company's existing at-the-market equity program (the "ATM Program"). The Restated Distribution Agreement restates and supersedes the previous amended and restated equity distribution agreement, dated May 23, 2024, among the Company, RCC and RC US. There can be no assurance that the Company will issue and sell any common shares under the ATM Program. The timing of any sales and the number of shares sold, if any, will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company.

The Company will pay the Agents a commission of up to 3.0% of the gross offering proceeds from each sale of common shares sold under the ATM Program and has agreed to provide the Agents with customary indemnification and contribution rights. The Company will also reimburse the Agents for certain specified expenses in connection with the entering into and performance of the Restated Distribution Agreement.

Please refer to the Company’s press release of May 23, 2024, for further details concerning the ATM Program.
