US-based SolarBank Corporation announced plans for a 7.2 MW North Main community solar project in Wyoming County, New York. The project is expected to deliver clean energy to over 850 homes. The project has included a secured site lease and an ongoing interconnection study as part of SolarBank’s 1 GW development pipeline. Through this community solar initiative, residents could access energy bill credits by subscribing, without requiring rooftop solar installations. The North Main project was anticipated to qualify for incentives under the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA )NY-Sun Program and intended to move forward with permitting and financing following a successful interconnection study. Project progress remains subject to factors such as third-party financing availability and potential shifts in solar policy support.
