PowerBank Secures Permits for C$14 Million Nova Scotia Solar Project

With environmental permitting finalized, PowerBank Corporation is set to break ground on a 6.86 MW community solar farm in Brooklyn, Nova Scotia. The project, backed by significant federal and provincial support, aims to provide local residents and businesses with a direct path to renewable energy and long-term utility savings.

The Brooklyn installation is slated for construction in the fall of 2026. While PowerBank serves as the lead developer, the project is owned and funded by the AI Renewable Flow-through Fund, shielding the company from direct capital expenditure. The venture is part of a broader 12.44 MW portfolio in the province, which includes additional sites in Petpeswick and Sydney developed in partnership with Trimac Engineering.

Financial backing for the C$14 million project includes a C$960,000 grant from Net Zero Atlantic and a matching C$960,000 award from the federal Smart Renewables and Electrification Pathways Program. Furthermore, the company anticipates receiving up to C$2.639 million through the federal Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit. Once operational, the farm is expected to generate enough electricity to power 628 homes annually, while delivering approximately C$3.86 million in lifetime savings to the Annapolis Valley community through a subscription-based model that avoids the need for private rooftop equipment.
